Capcom has pulled back the blinds to show off the three secret titles it will be showing at the Tokyo Game Show 2007.

Last time we saw PGR4, we had to sit across the room from it while two of the developers did endos and talked about puddles. What we actually wanted to do was drag them out by the hair, lock ourselves in and then try and get ALL PLATINUMS for as long as it took Kevin Spacey to convince us to open the door again. So this time we did just that. Close enough, anyway.

Right, does anyone remember where we got to with "the promise of the next generation"? I recall J Allard wearing a hoodie under a suit jacket to tell us about high definition graphics, largely because my Mum was round when I watched the video and said "what a trussed-up yobbo" (harsh). So there was definitely some promising of the next generation there. Then it was having 1000 units on-screen, because that's all anyone was talking about for most of 2005. And then, more recently, Ubisoft refined that to "crowd gameplay", which doesn't really mean anything, although we tried not to point that out in case Jade Raymond got offended and refused to marry us. And meanwhile, over in sunny Liverpool, Bizarre Creations have come up with a quintessentially British alternative. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the promise of the next generation: puddles.

I'm giving very serious consideration to the idea of detonating a small nuclear device in a major American city. Now that I've successfully made Eurogamer flash up on the screens of a dozen top secret US intelligence agencies (Kristan may be spirited away to some officially-denied torture dungeon, but just think of the page views!) I should probably explain that, ho ho, I'm just talking about the latest real-time strategy game to set PC hearts a-flutter.

The thing that most people are going to talk about - so I'll get it over right at the start - is the nuclear bomb going off. Yes, World In Conflict is the real-time strategy that has a mini nuke to set off on the battlefield. It actually only devastates a few hundred metres, rather than the several kilometres that would probably get baked in the real world, but the effect is nevertheless jaw-dropping. Blinding bright light, soaring mushroom cloud, probable victory. Between this, Defcon and the Russian Federal government, it seems like thermonuclear weapons really are back in vogue this year. (And yes, I'm just reading in the news that Cold War is back on. Is this another case of life imitating games? And should I really be joking about nuclear war? I just don't know/care).
