The phrase "downloadable content" can send shivers of fear and anger down the spines of many gamers, as visions of cash-gouging publishers dance before their eyes wearing horse armour. One game that seems to have found a pleasing balance between worthwhile additional content and wallet pangs is MotorStorm, still receiving new material and gameplay updates over a year after its release. This, then, is a critical recap of what's been added, what's been tweaked and what the MotorStorm fanbase has made of it all.

It took me endless hours of picking herbs in World of Warcraft before I decided to use real money to buy gold. I spent about fifty quid for an in-game thousand, and bought a purple epic mount. I went back and bought more as time went on; money that helped push our guild into hardcore raiding and splash out on other members. I was greedy with it as well, covering my second character in the very best.

Those of a bleak bent (and with apologies to disabled waterfowl, read it again and you'll see I'm not talking to you) will be pleased to hear that THQ's cheerily named Kaos Studios is working on a PS3, Xbox 360 and PC first-person shooter called Frontlines: Fuel of War, about a world where a pair of opposing superpowers fight for control of fossil fuels instead of holding hands and making daisychains.

A little bit of history, first off. Frontlines: Fuel of War is the first game from Kaos Studios, which was formed by former members of Trauma Studios late last year. Trauma, you may recall, was responsible for Battlefield 1942's Desert Combat mod - which turned out so well that DICE ended up buying the studio, and employing its members to do a vast amount of research and development for Battlefield 2.

The year is 2024, and there is little remaining of the planet Earth's precious oil reserves. Everyone lives in windmills made out of solar panels, children are put to work on specially modified bicycles to power their mums' hairdryers and there is a growing shortage of potatoes as everyone is forced to use those clocks they sell up the Science Museum.

THQ has revealed that it's targeting January 2008 for the release of Frontlines: Fuel of War, while Saints Row for PS3 has been scrapped in order to push resources into production on a sequel for Xbox 360 and PS3.

THQ has said that a demo for the Xbox 360 version of Frontlines: Fuel of War will be available in December.

THQ has marched out a new video teaser for upcoming future-shooter Frontlines: Fuel Of War - and Eurogamer TV has got first dibs on it.

THQ and Kaos Studios' upcoming Frontlines: Fuel of War will support over 50 players online when it's released on PC and 360 this month.

The future used to be a great place to be. Back in the absurdly optimistic late '70s and early '80s, we were all looking forward to a 21st Century world including universal spandex acceptance, teleportation devices, little laughing robot slaves that mashed potatoes for you, video phones and hover boards. Well, we got the video phones (happy slappers rejoice!), but the silver clothes never caught on, and the rest was a big fat lie designed to keep kids watching Tomorrow's World. Was everything about our childhood a fib?

Eurogamer TV Show viewers may recall the Warfighters from our exhausting escapades in a muddy field last year - all in the name of GRAW 2.

Warhawk game director Dylan Jobe has announced some PlayStation Home functionality for Incog's online war-game, and promises much more to come. Handy for those of you on the beta.

By now you know that Dylan Fitterer's Audiosurf, a fancy mixture of rhythm-response and puzzle that feeds off your own MP3 collection, is out on Steam. But perhaps you didn't know there was a demo. There is.

FIFA Street 3 is EA's latest attempt to make a football game that's a bit like those Nike adverts where Ronaldinho plays volley tennis against the crossbar and Thierry Henry smashes up his house. It's high-scoring, five-a-side football on enclosed pitches, where tricks are fast but movement is laboured, and everyone's wearing bespoke t-shirts and running around stylishly with one trouser leg rolled up. Offside doesn't exist, there are no fouls, and it's physically impossible to do a handball.
