    An Amazon listing for FIFA 14 on Vita would have you believe a new portable slice of EA Canada’s supreme soccer sim is headed to Sony’s handheld on 24 September, priced at roughly £25.

    These Dead Island: Riptide tips will keep you alive on the game’s undead-infested Palanai. Just remember to pack some factor 50… that, and a big-ass machete.

    Just when you thought it was safe to dip your hands back into the sour key-stuffed pick ‘n’ mix… Insomniac only goes and announces a Ratchet & Clank movie. Scheduled to hit a multiplex near your in 2015, we really hope it turns out more WALL-E than Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (we couldn’t think of a decent videogame flick).

    You’d have thought Coolio would have taught me better, but two years ago, I kept spending most of life living in a coffin-dodger’s paradise. And I really don’t know why. Sure, Techland’s first zombie open-worlder had some sturdy melee scuffles, but it was also plagued with bugs, dull objectives and hateful characters. Now I find myself booking yet another holiday with the same unreliable, undead travel agent… and the package deal has only gotten worse.

    My Dad could beat up your Dad. Pfft. Well, my Batman could kick the Kryptonite out of your Superman’s ass. Touche. This uncomplicated superhero scuffle ‘em up has such an easily indefinable central charm. Namely, it lets you recreate the fantasy face-offs you always dreamt of while tucking into your Wonderwoman-branded pack lunch.

    Tokyo jungle

    It’s true what they say: it really is a cheetah-eat-chick world out there. Forget pooches snacking on other pooches – on the mean pixellated streets of post-apocalyptic Japan, everything wants to have you for elevenses, 24/7. And yet, somehow, I managed to stave off toothy death for 62 days. I outmanoeuvred packs of golden retrievers so vicious they made Cujo look like Lassie. I snuck past black panthers with more stealthy subtlety than Solid Snake. And what’s more, I did it all with a baby chicken.

    No Phantom Pain, no gain. Here are the lessons we’d like Metal Gear Solid 5 to take on board from its beloved, cigar-puffing predecessor, including more diaper-wearing monkeys and the hiring of a bloke from Ace Combat: Assault Horizon to replace David Hayter.
