Bad news, Internet. After years of unspoken understanding that if a Sonic game is going to be rubbish they would put "Adventure" in the name, whack a few jet-skis in it or make half of it 3D, Sonic Team has betrayed us all with this week's Sonic Rush sequel - a damn fine DS game that does all of the above. So where did it all go right?

Forsooth, 'tis oft uttered from the mouths of knaves that to unleash a game upon a console is a much different endeavour to unleashing that self-same game upon the PC. Verily, verily, thine developer should have to be some kind of knave to attempt such a release without great alteration to the very fabric of the game!

Of all the discussions at the Games Convention Developer's Conference, Denis Dyack's stood out partly because he was making a contentious point rather than a safe one, and partly because of the sheer degree to which his argument inspires discussion. At the time of writing, our write-up of his speech has been met with nearly 250 comments - more than three times as many as Julian Eggebrecht's keynote, which effectively had full-on pornography in it. Dyack believes that a unified gaming platform is inevitable, arguing that the history of commoditisation in other industries guarantees it. We sat down with Dyack, president of Too Human developer Silicon Knights, and put some of your and our queries to him.

I'm slightly worried that I will be a rubbish granddad. I mean, I've not got married or had any kids and I'm still not old enough to rent undersea drilling equipment or anything, so it's not really an immediate problem, but I am starting to concern myself that my own granddad had also sorts of wicked anecdotes about when he was my age, and all mine are about coming up with a way to remember the difference between "discrete" and "discreet" and seeing Rutger Hauer in a supermarket.

id Software finally unveiled its new game, Rage, and made a number of crowd-pleasing announcements during a densely packed QuakeCon press conference led by CEO Todd Hollenshead and the show's keynote address from John Carmack.

Dan Arey spent nearly a decade at Naughty Dog, where he helped make both Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter into rip-roaring successes.

I'm watching a stage show version of Name That Tune. Contestants have to identify science fiction themes, often based on half a dozen or less of the opening bars. Recognising them's easy, identifying them's harder. We've all heard Vader's music, right, but what's it actually called? One woman reckons she knows. And she will tell us - in three seconds. She scorns her opponent. "The Emperor's March." A wave of congratulation crashes against the stage, propelled by the caffeine-fuelled wind of a thousand supporters pumped up on free BAWLS and pizza handed out beforehand. But apparently we're not done. Her opponent leans across as the microphone bends to his triumphant riposte: "The Imperial March."
