Call of Duty 4 on 360 has been patched (makes sense - it was rubbish! Eh? Who's with me?) to include new kill cams, host migration, and lots of other neat tweaks.

Published as part of our sister-site GamesIndustry.biz' widely-read weekly newsletter, the GamesIndustry.biz Editorial offers analysis of one of the issues weighing on the minds of the people at the top of the games business. It appears on Eurogamer after it goes out to GI.biz newsletter subscribers.

Forget blue-skies-in-games, how about press-events-not-in-dungeons? The one we're in - some sort of trendy nightspot off Union Square in San Francisco - has comfy seats and plenty of Corona, but it's still a bit out of place, and particularly as it's host to Digital Illusions' new first-person action game, Mirror's Edge, whose gameplay is sprinkled delicately across a gleaming range of mountainous rooftops and endless glass under an azure sky.

There are three games with "Lost" in the title this week, and you can find them all in shops, just as surely as my Xbox 360 can't seem to find the last 46 percent of the movie I'm trying to download from the uselessly slow Xbox Live Video Marketplace. I hadn't planned to moan about that, but there you go. Or don't, if you're using Xbox Live Video Marketplace. If you suddenly find that this page disappears and all you see is a spinning circle of lights followed by an error message, then [they get the point - Ed].

It seems the original Metal Gear Solid will not be on a PS2 DVD in the Essential Collection after all.

Katamari Damacy will very probably end up among the best PS2 games ever made. Either way, it is certainly among the best never released here. Its sequel - more of an intelligent remix - did appear, but in limited quantities quickly absorbed by fans. So, for an audience of Xbox 360 owners no doubt struggling to believe their luck at scooping Beautiful Katamari, why are these games so revered?

SNES title Super Turrican and the TurboGrafx-16's Psychosis are this week's Virtual Console duo in PAL regions.

As I type, episode five of Lost's fourth season is showing in the USA. I'd like to know what happens in it. I'd like to know that a lot. If you couldn't care less, you might as well give up now; Ubisoft's Lost videogame, built around a story conceived by the TV show's executive producers, is not meant for you. There's probably enough here to grasp the basics of what's happening on this bizarre little island in the Pacific Ocean, but too much of it will be baffling or, worse, seem poorly justified. When John Locke tells you that the island has a will of its own, you'll look around at the invisibly walled jungle and beach and wonder if that's what he's on about.

Capcom can't be bothered to design its own games any more and wants you to do it. Well, to design a level in Bionic Commando Rearmed. It was only a matter of time [and distortion - Ed].

Capcom isn't planning to bring the Wii version of Resident Evil Zero to the US or Europe, the publisher said today.

We don't know about you (you always looked shifty), but digital distribution continues to bother our wallets like a 10-year-old after his pocket money. In fact, it's a good thing that virtual wallets and made-up online currencies shield us from the painful truth of how much we've spent, because at this stage we probably couldn't take it. It's inevitable though, especially as - thanks to the likes of Super Stardust HD, Warhawk, flOw and Everyday Shooter - PlayStation Network has developed a reputation for interesting and innovative games, rather than dull, repetitive and/or broken-headed ones.

2K Boston's Ken Levine says that BioShock would not exist were it not for the work done and money made by Rockstar Games.
