Ubisoft's MMORPGish shooter The Division continues to look the business, even if it's taken a bit longer than expected to release its virus-addled apocalyptic New York upon the world. This year's E3 showing was all about the 'Dark Zone', or the PvP area of The Division's world. Our Samuel Roberts got to experience life in the zone yesterday, and he left "pretty impressed".

There's still a fair way to go before the game's March 8 release date, but here are a few images to snuggle up to in the meantime. As you can see, The Division is set around Christmas time, though with all the guns and killing it's more like Futurama's robot Santa Christmas than our relatively sedate, booze-and-turkey-filled affair.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
