Let's get this straight: of all the hackandslash games of recent years it's been the Devil May Cry games that have best held my attention. I like their ambivalent tone and their over-designed world: the baroque-modern towns with magic swords and buses. It's a grand contemporary fantasy, and it doesn't falter. It's also a mechanically pleasingly fighting game. Guns and swords: it's all about how the fighting looks, and you have to respect that in a game. Devil May Cry 4 certainly doesn't get shy on that front: savaging multiple enemies with a giant, blazing sword and a gigantic, ammo-free pistol is once again the central beat of the game. The frenzied demon-killing doesn't seem to have lost its touch.

For most of you out there in Readerland, the usual disappointment and mirthless horror of New Year's Eve will be fresh in the mind. Conclusions are as important to the creative mediums as they are inevitable in the yearly cycle - and narrative endings can be just as lacking in originality. Bringing a story to a satisfactory close is vital if the viewer/reader/player is to leave with a cosy sense of well-being. It doesn't have to be cheerful, it just has to work.

Yesterday we proposed what has come to be known as The Hated New Format for our Readers' Top 50 Games of 2007. It involved rating games using Eurogamers.

As a result, we have reverted to the wonderful old format, where you type in your name, your top five games of the year, and a comment about your favourite one.

The man in the alley that smells of fried chicken is talking to himself again, going on and on and on. But he's not as strange as the big camp one from Come Dine With Me who embalmed his parents, labels his clothes so he knows when to wear them, has a stuffed fox head, glass eye and only got 25 out of 40 for his dinner party. Almost put me off my roast beef sandwich.

Microsoft is definitely and not maybe sure Oasis songs will be downloadable for Rock Band.

Cut Ray Liotta out of your mental scrapbook and replace him with an MTV Europe News presenter from the early '90s. Now, replay the Goodfellas voice-over in your head.
