    The biggest compliment I can pay GTA 5 having seen it in action is that it looks to be exactly what I expected. Which is to say the funniest, deepest and most engaging open-world game of this or any console generation. In GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar delivered a pair of perpetually lifelike, unendingly playable sandbox experiences to PS3. With its newest effort, it looks set to complete the hat-trick in style.

    Yes, it’s a headline we’ve written about three times now, but despite the lack of any official EA announcement, its appears that Battlefield 4 is definitely a few short months away. Er, probably. How are we so sure this time out? It’s been showing the game off to retailers behind closed doors.

    The Cave PSN Ron Gilbert Double Fine

    Between them, Tim ‘Psychonauts’ Schafer and Ron ‘Monkey Island’ Gilbert can lay claim to creating some of the funniest games on PSN – Deathspank, Costume Quest and Stacking to name three. So it’s no surprise that this collaboration between the pair – created by Gilbert for Schafer’s Double Fine studio – is packed with dark humour, from the moment the sentient cave of the title introduces each of its seven characters by taking the mick out of them, to its reminder, a few hours later, than you’ve basically achieved nothing by reaching its melancholic climax.
