EA's Frank Gibeau has long teased that Mirror's Edge is high on the list of IPs the publisher would love to see return. The retailer has since pulled the online product listing.

Got a Uplay and Facebook account? Well, be careful, because a certain hacker vigilante might be pinching your ATM pin this November, or eavesdropping that rather embarrassing call-back from the clinic.
There's a chance for 30 fans, who'll be selected at random, to have some of their details included in the upcoming open world of Watch Dogs. You need to provide three 'facts' about yourself.

Capcom scraps 'blood pool' PR stunt in UK following Woolwich murder

The UK is still reeling from the recent brutal event that occurred in Woolwich where a young army cadet was murdered in a suspected terrorist attack. This has led to Capcom cancelling a planned PR stunt.
Frankly, even without this tragedy, the stunt in mind was of questionable taste. Capcom UK was going to have a "blood swimming pool" in London to mark Resident Evil Revelations launch.

Kevin Conroy not Batman in Arkham Origins but in "new Arkham game"

Voice actor Kevin Conroy recently said at Dallas Comic Con he was Batman once again, which led everyone more or less to believe he was reviving his role in Batman: Arkham Origins due out this fall. Not so.
Arkham Origins' Batman is to be voice by Ezio Auditore's Roger Craig Smith. Conroy apparently is voicing Batman in a "new Arkham game coming soon," so at least we have that.

Son of Nor dev post video to "quash rumours of fakery" over Emotiv device

Feel like Professor X when he plays a video game?! Well, that does sound a little far-fetched - and it is because I just made it up. What's not made up though is the Emotiv EPOC, and stillalive Studios will prove it.
CEO Julian Mautner demonstrates in a new video for Son or Nor how the device works with the game. He doesn't blame people for their scepticism, because of how "insane and fake it really sounds."

Rumour: Capcom prepping Resident Evil 7 for E3?

Capcom may very well be announcing Resident Evil 7 next month at E3 in California if an alleged promotional poster still in the design phase is to be believed. It's best you keep that rumour-mill salt lick nearby.
Again, if the poster is to be believed, then Resi Evil 7 has the tag 'The War Ends Now'. Of course this could all be some 12-year-old on a sugar high playing around with Photoshop.
