Items are limited in The Last of Us' post-apocalyptic world, and it's up to the player to make the best of those remaining resources. As a new developer diary shows, there's more to it than merely rummaging through drawers to find ammunition.
Joel is resourceful, and one of the ways that attribute manifests itself in the game is through its crafting system. Players can combine items to create new items. It's not a groundshaking innovation, but the video below shows that there's more to it than what we've seen in other titles. Several combinations can be used to create either offensive or defensive concoctions. For instance, the ingredients used to make a medkit also happen to be the same ones that Joel can combine to make a molotov. It's up to players to determine which items are likely to be most beneficial.
See how it works in the clip below.

If you've played Animal Crossing, you will know that that is a whole lot of object naming.

The first developer diary for Ubisoft's Watch Dogs is light on details and new information, but it does talk vaguely about PlayStation 4 plans, and briefly teases some kind of mobile interaction.
In the video below, senior producer Dominic Guay and creative director Jonathan Morin refer to the PlayStation 4 version of the game as a "magnified experience" and how excited they are for players to be able to share video clips of their gameplay experiences online. Guay and Morin also talk about playing the game anywhere, including when players are away from their home consoles. They don't outline how it works, but it appears that Watch Dogs will have some kind of interactive mobile experience that will affect your home game.

Pending any delays, Watch Dogs should be releasing this November for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U, with the PlayStation 4 version planned for some time before the end of 2013.
The latest developer diary on Resident Evil: Revelations, which is making its way from the 3DS to current generation home consoles, discusses how the original Resident Evil games influenced Revelations.
Revelations certainly takes a little more time to establish the dark ambiance of its abandoned boat in the middle of the ocean setting, but the focus still seems to be much more focused on action than horror. This is something we've grown to accept for the Resident Evil series, for better or worse.
Resident Evil: Revelations is coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on May 21.
