Have you ever wondered what your doctor thinks about while they're poking and prodding you? If you lived in Edmonton, Canada, in the mid '90s there's a chance your doctor was thinking, "Gee, I wish I was making computer games instead of rummaging inside this diseased colon". At least, that's how it might have played out if you were the patient of Dr Greg Zeschuk, Dr Ray Muzyka or Dr Augustine Yip. And if you had a diseased colon.

One game is destined to dominate this week's headlines, whatever the quality and depth of the release schedule elsewhere. And it's not exactly Weight Watchers out there either what with Assassin's Creed, Crysis and others vying for your attention. But, as I say, this is the sort of week where introductory subterfuge is pointless and ambling gradually through the first paragraph build-up is like spitting on the fire as it climbs slowly up the stake towards your face. It's-aaaaaaaa...

SEGA has released a single-player demo for its upcoming real-time strategy game Universe at War: Earth Assault.

It seems utter madness that a game of the quality of Burnout 2 wasn't a massive hit outside of Europe. Maybe it was Acclaim's ongoing inability to compete with the big guns in the US that was to blame, or maybe consumers weren't that convinced about the original and wrongly assumed the quick-fire sequel would be more of the same. They couldn't have been more wrong, and the fact that it still stands out as one of the best looking games and most addictive ever says a lot. Acclaim's loss was very much EA's gain, and if any games publisher in the world knows how to sell to the Yanks, it's EA. If Burnout 3 sells less than four times what its predecessor sold we'd be very surprised indeed.

People keep saying to us: "Ooh, I like the sound of Psychonauts, but I wish it wasn't a platform game." But more on that later.

Nintendo has responded to an analyst's claims that it has completed work on a new version of its DS Lite handheld, maintaining that it is "rumour and speculation and we are not commenting further."

Apart from the odd encounter with Starfighter over the years, dog fighting aerial combat games aren't usually the kind of games that keep Eurogamer types up at night. Imagine our surprise, then, when we discovered that FASA's Xbox-exclusive is one of the better titles on the platform this year.

Sony has smothered the PlayStation Store in Thursday, covering it in new content.

The technology of our home systems is an open book, and one we always read thoroughly before making a decision on which machine to pour our thick, syrupy love and devotion upon. But arcades games had the unique fortune of being judged solely on the quality of their games, rather than the silicon that drove them. So let's take a look behind the coin door and see what electronic wonderlands could be found in yesteryear's arcade machines.

We bet if you tried to think of two things your parents wouldn't let you have when you were younger you'd come up with an arcade machine and a gremlin. They were too big and expensive or weren't real - red herrings you couldn't argue against with an incomplete brain. But now we've picked the wool out of our eyes we can see it was all a charade and our anger is palpable.

Aliens, a fairly sincere voice-over informs us, have invaded Earth and made a right bloody mess. But it's okay, because now we're bringing the fight to them, and kicking their scaly, leathery, vaguely insectoid backsides across exotic plants around the galaxy. Would you like to know more?

It was about two hours into Crysis when I began to realise just how good it might be. The first couple of hours had been fairly unremarkable - there were some predictable first-person cut-scenes, a linear intro level, some spooky goings-on, US military deployment, you know the sort of thing. I had watched the sun come up across the island and seen the kind of tropical Far-Cry-revisited scenes that we'd all been expecting. I had even barrelled through the first of the villages and used some of the suit-powers (which your buffed up future marine has at his disposal from the start) to kill off some enemies. But it wasn't until a little later that I sat back and actually looked at it.

Bizarre Creations has popped its first title update for Project Gotham Racing 4 on Live.
