Today started with a Nuclear Throne being added, while an Age of Empires drew to a close, and Microsoft offered a gift to those who've waited patiently for the Xbox One to release in their countries. Bioware, while with clumsy wording, expanded the diversity and inclusivity of its Dragon Age games.

We heard that Blood Bowl is hitting tablets this month, and a little further out is Tales of Hearts R on PS Vita. A new Power Rangers game is on its way for 3DS, and Rockstar kickoff America's Independence Day with a GTA Online Update which is out right now. (Additionally, though not showing up on the PS Store as we right this just yet, Child of Light should be available on PS Vita today as well). The DLC train continues with details on Trials Fusion's first drop later this month.

Sad news with reports that Murdered: Soul Suspect developer Airtight Games has closed its doors.

We continue our slew of titanic interviews with gigantic names in the industry, as we talk to Ed Boon about all things X-rated in Mortal Kombat, and reminisce about Sega's golden age of arcades with Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki.

Fed up with multiple controllers clogging your living room? Now you can control your PS3 (with limitations) with your PS4 joypad (it's not working perfectly though).

And finally, if you want to know what's coming out the rest of this month, we've got you sorted with our latest Games to Look For.
