Our trip to see the latest iteration of the Tiger Woods franchise, its first outing since development was handed over to the team at EA's Florida studio, had two major objectives. We wanted to see what the team was doing with the Xbox 360 and PS3 editions, of course, and we've already talked about that in some depth... But for many gamers, the main event this year may well be none other than the Wii version of the game.

Golf, Mark Twain once observed, is a good walk spoiled. Were he alive today, it seems unlikely that he'd be terribly impressed with the steady rise of golfing videogames over the past few years - a development which actually removes all of the walking from the equation entirely.

I don't listen to a lot of rock music any more, my audio diet consists of 95 per cent hip-hop and a little bit of Girls Aloud. They only time I hear guitars is when MOP has sampled them and are bawling out really offensive lyrics over the top. But you know, if DJ Shadow can sample Metallica, I can sample a little bit of metal.

Let's get one thing out of the way early on: Ninja Gaiden is a great game. If you have an unholy appreciation for all things action, then this is a game that's well worth a look. Boasting the kind of combat depth that's had the hardcore frothing for the past three years or more, it's a brutal exercise in how to use top-line beat-'em-up mechanics in a fleshed-out game.

This year's E3 may have changed format, but the formats' governors are still in town, and they're lining up to try and dazzle you with their traditional pre-E3 showcases.

E3 is dead. "It is no longer necessary or efficient to have a single industry 'mega-show'," Doug Lowenstein, then-president of the Entertainment Software Association, said last August as the organisation confirmed that it would be axing the much loved (and hated) Electronic Entertainment Expo, and reinventing it as a "more intimate" affair. Cut from the flabby folds of the Los Angeles Convention Center and deposited in an aircraft hangar on the Santa Monica coastline (an aircraft hangar with a spectacular website), the new-look "E3 Media & Business Summit" has already been dubbed "Min-E3" by bloggers.
