Late-80s action game Shadow Of The Beast is making a return to the PlayStation 4. Here's a trailer showing its new, ultra-violent gameplay.
For most of us, 1989's Shadow Of The Beast hangs like a spectre in the memory. Its graphics were stunning, with dev team Reflections crafting a startling fantasy world of depth and lush colour. The music, courtesy of David Whittaker, was both catchy and eerie. Then there was the packaging: Shadow Of The Beast came in a humongous, lovingly-designed box (artwork courtesy of the great Roger Dean) with a T-shirt inside it.
The game itself, meanwhile, was a curiously sparse platform adventure akin to Taito's Rastan. In the first scene you ran along a bit, punched a fantasy creature, and ran along a bit more. In other scenes you climbed ladders, ran along a bit, punched a fantasy creature and ran along a bit more.

Andrew downloaded The Web Of Fear and The Enemy Of The World. Here's how it went...
Call me cynical, but I don't know if embargoes work terribly well, relying as they do on the much loved 'Trust' system of responsibility. As a result, Doctor Who fans spent much of yesterday sifting through social media's ever-shifting barrage of information, with every new find immediately verified, debunked, then re-assessed.
It was like the nineties all over again. It was like my relationship with the Colin Baker era. It was like looking for a ring in the deserts of Aridius. Except that last one. That wasn't real. Sorry everyone, to shatter the previously-unimpeachable verisimilitude of The Chase like that. It's been a stressful few days.
The return of the missing episodes was definitely real. It was happening. The BBC was doing a secret press conference and everything.

The Australian Screen Editors’ Guild has added a new category to include online and new content streams to its awards night and announced the nominees for the 2012 Ase Awards.
The announcement:
The Australian Screen Editors’ (Ase) Guild is dedicated to the pursuit and recognition of excellence in screen editing across all its forms. It aims to highlight the often invisible art of editing to the public while supporting the people who construct our screen narratives frame by frame.
In 2012 the Ase expanded its activities by opening a new Committee in Brisbane, growing the membership base already established in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide, and expanding its year-round program of seminars, screenings, masterclasses, training days and mentorships. This year the Ase also celebrated its 10th anniversary of Accreditation, the highest honour the Guild can bestow on an editor.

Droga5 has released a commercial for Unilever toilet cleaning brand Domestos.
The ad, which first aired around Australia’s Got Talent on Wednesday night, was put on YouTube, and has amassed more than 180,000 views. It features Phill Pace, a contender for the Mr Australia bodybuilder title.
Caroline Gregory, brand manager at Unilever, said: “Domestos is known for being a hospital grade disinfectant, so for the launch of Domestos toilet cleaner we wanted to start the campaign with something that would disrupt and truly engage consumers, with something a bit different for the category”.
David Nobay, Droga5 Creative Chairman added: “The Domestos team wanted to approach this category differently, and that’s what we’ve done. It’s our first real content work for Unilever, and I’m impressed with the courage the client has shown us.”
Writer/Art Director: David Nobay
Production Company: Goodoil Films
Director: Fiona McGee
