"This is like something out of a VIDEOGAME!" screams the brilliant B-movie box art for House of the Dead: Overkill, SEGA's Wii-bound revisit of its classic lightgun series. Only the irony is layered deeper than that, because the first thing you'll think when you see it is, "this is like something out of a MOVIE!"

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King to one side, Warhammer Online to the other, and a compelling line-up of single-player games flooding the shops, and The Chronicles of Spellborn is out on 27th November. Actually, it's like watching those YouTube videos where a curious mouse runs around a glass tank, but you know there's a tarantula in that hollow log.

The Rockworm, then. In case you missed it, he's the intro star of Christian's Gears of War 2 review, where he pinpointed Epic's bulletproof wriggler - portable cover in the depths of the Hollow - as an amusing tactical edge. And he is clearly awesome. Or so I thought, except yesterday as I used him to sidle past a pair of Locust gun emplacements, I got bored and simply legged it round the corner, rendering him rather moot. Oops.

In the great console wars of the 21st century, the exclusive first-person shooter is an elite paratrooper regiment, pushing deep behind enemy lines, paving the way for the long-term advances, claiming back enemy territory and banging the propaganda drum every step of the way.

Sumio Mondo has a 1970s Toyota Celica and a briefcase he calls Catherine.
