Did you buy a copy of FIFA 14 for Xbox 360? Cast it to the floor and spit on it, as you would a loathsome rodent, then quickly pre-order a copy of the game for Xbox One, to purge the stain upon your soul. EA has released new details - or at least, creatively repackaged old details - about the next generation version of this year's best-scored footie sim, and producer Nick Channon has said a few words on the subject to Click Online.

At the recent Gaming Insider Summit in San Francisco (courtesy of TheAlistDaily), former EA CEO John Riccitiello was in a contemplative kind of mood. Looking back on some of the biggest success stories in gaming, he pondered what contemporary gaming franchises could learn from one another going forward, and imparted his advice to the traditional gaming industry on how to stay relevant.

Microsoft's ID@Xbox program and associated Xbox One publishing policies represent "the best approach to getting the most developers and the best games on the platform", corporate vice-president Phil Harrison has declared. Moreover, the company apparently no longer distinguishes between developers and publishers in terms of game size, existing reputation and the like - the platform is built to ensure that quality gets rewarded.

Another day, another dollar to spend on yet another zombie game. At least XBLA title How to Survive is doing something besides beheading zombies with a chainsaw. I mean sure, that's in there too, but between bouts of zombie battling you'll also have to keep yourself alive by performing more mundane tasks like finding food and building shelter.

Morning all. There appears to be hardly any Xbox news happening, so here's a quick insight from Johan Andersson, technical director at DICE's Frostbite team: there are apparently over 15 Frostbite games in the works, presumably including known projects like Dragon Age: Inquisition, Need for Speed: Rivals, Star Wars: Battlefront, Mirror's Edge and BioWare's new Mass Effect game.

Oh, Respawn. You're such rebels, bucking convention like a Titan bucking a renegade Pilot into the gutter, where he or she can be unceremoniously stamped on. EA has revealed Titanfall's Collector's Edition alongside its release date (that's 14th March 2014, if you're a UK player), and in a demented twist, said Collector's Edition doesn't appear to contain any exclusive DLC. Nope, not even a custom weapon skin. It's like I've tumbled into a time warp, right on back to 2007.

What do you mean, you'd forgotten that Battlefield 4 has a single player mode? Good heavens, the internet has talked of literally nothing else since DICE revealed the game in March. This year's offering isn't your usual corridor crawl, either - according to preliminary reports, it's a much roomier corridor crawl with naturalistic leaf shadows, and you can shoot through the walls. Also, one of your squadmates gets to punch a dog. Hmm, that could almost be a reference to something or other. Isn't there another game out soon that has a dog in it?

There's a whole world out there, argues Aoife.
Grinding. It's a horrible word, isn't it? It suggests hard, monotonous, brain-numbing work - performing the same task over and over and over again until you've produced the desired results - whether that's harvesting the requisite amount of something or fine-tuning a skill until it's up to standard.

RPGs on Xbox One! Turns out a fair few of you are keen on the idea, though I suspect the prospect of a free Xbox 360 game may have had something to do with that. It's my pleasure to present the winners of last week's Diablo 3 competition, mighty champions of the genre one and all. If there is, in fact, a place called Valhalla, you'll find these great souls seated at the top table, quaffing Mountain Dew and throwing balled-up collectable world maps at the FPS-chugging peasants outside the window.
