This weeks marks the release of the final wave of toys in Lego Dimensions year two, possibly the final wave ever. If the game's going out, adding Teen Titans, Powerpuff Girls and Beetlejuice to the mix in one fell swoop is a heck of a way to go.

Infamous: Second Son has always looked pretty cool but I never got around to it, so I'm really excited it's in this month's PS Plus lineup. There's also some extras in this month's lineup, including a free PSVR game. As usual, these games are only free if you have an active PlayStation Plus account.

Tipster Cody Brown directed our attention to a "Complete Bundle" for this week's Rock of Ages 2 in the US PlayStation Store, which includes Atlus' boulder-rolling strategy sequel plus the original game. The listing says it's playable on the PS4. That's half right.

I'm excited to see Just Cause 3 on August's PS Plus lineup, since I always meant to check it out. There's also Downwell for the Vita with crossbuy on PS4, bringing my total ways to play Downwell to three, which is not nearly enough.

Until Dawn and Game of Thrones headline PlayStation Plus' games lineup this month. July also sees some add-ons in addition to the usual roster of games. As always, these games are only free if you have a PlayStation Plus membership.

If you missed Life is Strange, PlayStation Plus has you covered with June's lineup. You'll also get Killing Floor 2 for PS4. As ever, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

Back in 2013, I had some very unkind things to say about the DualShock 3's design. Those points still stand — this is a bad controller for playing video games — but in the years since I've grown to appreciate one thing about the DS3: it can take one hell of a beating.

You can go several hours in Grand Theft Auto IV before you get a gun. Soon after that, you're blasting your way through shootouts with SWAT teams. But for those first few hours, you're just some guy in Brooklyn, trying to make a new life.

When a company like Bethesda is trying to debug a massive game like Skyrim, where do they even start? Skyrim lead programmer Brett Douville tackled that question (and much more) on this week's episode of Kotaku Splitscreen.

May's PlayStation Plus lineup features Alienation and Tales from the Borderlands. As ever, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

Here's a blast from the past — behind-the-scenes motion capture footage for Silent Hill 2 from almost 20 years ago. It focuses on the perhaps the most critical revelation in the game's narrative, so consider this your one and only spoiler warning! For everyone else, enjoy this rare peek behind the curtain.

I'm betting that a lot of people who played Far Cry 2 didn't finish it. It's a chaotic, gruelling game, and it's at least five hours too long. If you made it to the end, you got a finale just as flawed, ambitious, and bleak as the game preceding it. Spoilers will follow, of course!

Persona 5 is a really good game. It's also complicated and occasionally unforgiving, with a ton of rules to learn and systems to memorise. If you want to live your best possible year in Tokyo, you may want a little guidance.

Imagine your old high school. Picture the doors you'd pass through at the start of each day. See if you can recall the awkward conversations you had with your friends, or the smell of the cafeteria at lunchtime. Now throw all that in the garbage and replace it with something impossibly cooler, impossibly more stylish, impossibly better. That's Persona 5.

April's PlayStation Plus lineup features a launch game, Drawn to Death, as well some older games you might have missed. Co-op Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a lot of fun if you enjoy yelling at your friends under the guise of teamwork.

Early sales figures showed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sales numbers for Japan, but for those who wonder how the other Switch titles did, let's find out!

In the throes of cancer treatment, one Destiny player finally got the help that he needed to make it to the Lighthouse. After his death, the community came together for his family in an amazing way.

March's PlayStation Plus offerings include the lovely-looking Tearaway Unfolded for the PS4 and Severed for the Vita, which we enjoyed. As usual, these games are only free if you have an active PlayStation Plus membership.

The best thing about Yakuza 0 isn't just that it's a damn fine video game, it's that it serves as the perfect entry point for newcomers to a series that is thick on gangster lore. Once you're done, the credits roll and you are mad for more Yakuza, though, you're left with a question: what Yakuza game do I play next?
