Two sets of juicy E3 rumours for you today. First up here's Sony-related banter, then it's over to the other side of the console divide for some Microsoft-flavoured tidbits. Warning, it's probably all bollocks.

We've got a trio of interviews. First up we found out about how GoD Factory: Wingmen hopes to break "the indie multiplayer curse". Then Team 17 talked to us about how Tim Burton had inspired Flockers down a "darker, grittier path".

We also spoke to Josef Fares about how Brothers "opened up a lot of doors" for him. Did we say a trio, make that four, as we found out more about Short Peace from Suda 51.

A couple of significant delays were confirmed today. Dying Light has faded into 2015, while Bethesda confirmed that the console version of The Elder Scrolls Online will be arriving six months later than planned.

Exciting news for fans of co-op and blood, bloody co-op shooter Killing Floor 2 was officially confirmed by Tripwire Interactive today.

Iwata has said that a fourth year of financial loss would be unacceptable for Nintendo. Perhaps the Wii U figurines announced by the platform holder today will help turn around fortunes.

New content has landed on the Xbox 360 Edition of World of Tanks. Klei's Don't Starve is getting multiplayer this summer. We've got all the details on the different editions of Driveclub. Hyrule Warriors is expected out in Japan this summer.

A couple of reviews landed today. We've assigned scores to Octodad: Dadliest Catch and 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

It's Throwback Thursday, and that means another slice of retro goodness. This week it's Zombie Ate My Neighbours.

And hey! The latest issue of our print magazine is available in UK stores now. Check out what's inside.
