When the much-trumpeted New Xbox Experience finally arrived, it didn't just bring us those oh-so-adorable Avatars and the welcome option to install games to the hard drive. No, tucked way rather unceremoniously in the Games Marketplace was the long-promised Community Games section, bearing the fruits of Microsoft's lengthy flirtation with the world of amateur, indie and homebrew coding.

The PS3 was the best-selling console in Japan last week, even proving more popular than the DSi.

Capcom has confirmed, via its Capcom-Unity blog, that Resident Evil 5 has a Mercenaries mode.

On the surface, this optional final chapter for Prince of Persia seems to offer most of what people expect from DLC. It extends the gameplay by a couple of hours, its price (800 MSP on Live, eight quid on PSN) fits snugly into the "Hmm, go on then" impulse purchase bracket, and it enables fans to do a little bit more of what they enjoyed. Scratch the surface, however, and you realise that, actually, Epilogue manages to miss the good points of its parent game and instead focuses to detrimental effect on the clumsier aspects of the original experience.

Ubisoft producer Ben Mattes has said downloadable content for the new Prince or Persia game is very much part of the plan, and will add "significant value" - perhaps even as much as an entire prequel or sequel.

Ubisoft plans to unleash the first batch of Prince of Persia DLC for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 26th February.

Ubisoft has delayed the release of the first downloadable content for Prince of Persia.

Wii remotes worldwide are crying out of their little speakers for a full-featured tennis game, so natural is the fit of the sport for the controller - but a new version of this over-egged 2004 effort can't ever be more than a stop-gap. If the objective of Nintendo's New Play Control! reissues of GameCube games for the Wii is to give these games an extended lifespan, then Mario Power Tennis' return from the grave might end up being somewhat brief.

Everyone has a guilty gaming secret and mine is this: I like Blazing Angels. Ace Combat might get the plaudits, but Ubisoft's World War II games captured the essence of close-quarters dogfighting - as opposed to locking on to a target kilometres away and dispatching it with a solitary button press.

Harmonix's new Beatles-themed music game has been given a price and release date.

Bethesda Softworks has announced that The Pitt, the second downloadable expansion for the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout 3, will be released on 24th March.

If Operation: Anchorage was the equivalent of a war film - a wasteland rendition of The Guns of Navarone - The Pitt is a prison movie. You enter its bleak red-brick confines in as a slave, bereft of your weapons and equipment, and mingle with an imprisoned workforce which has revolution on its mind.

In a shocking display of timeliness, Capcom's Resident Evil 5 game space has been added to PlayStation Home today.

Game designers love the war on terror, but judging by its output Ubisoft positively salivates at the thought of it. Under the ever-malleable Tom Clancy umbrella, we've waged open-air war in various Ghost Recon titles, engaged in close quarters hostage rescue in Rainbow Six, and snuck around the darkest corners snapping necks in Splinter Cell. Now it's time to rule the skies in the latest addition to the Tom Clancy family, HAWX.

"This is, in almost every way that matters, the perfect Street Fighter," beamed Simon in his review of Capcom's latest and greatest. But how close are you to becoming the perfect Street Fighter?

Microsoft has cut the price of 12-month subscriptions to Xbox Live.

Just in case you were in any doubt, this week's big one is undoubtedly the 9/10-scoring Empire: Total War. Creative Assembly's fourth major Total War game, expansions excepted, is a gigantic undertaking, with enough content to embarrass the average JRPG let alone its real-time strategy rivals, and tops off a brilliant fortnight for RTS fans already generously served by Dawn of War II in late February.

The PC version of Tom Clancy's Hawx has been delayed by one week.
