When invited to Bethesda for an exclusive little demonstration of Fallout 3 (you know, only about 100 different magazines and websites), we thought we'd make it a bit more personal. Tricking all the others into getting onto a bus ("There's free booze on the bus!") and then having them driven off into some ditch somewhere, we got to spend some alone-time with lead designer, Emil Pagliarulo, and lead producer, Gavin Carter.

KOEI has told Eurogamer that the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam demo that popped up on PlayStation Network in the US today will be released on our version of the store in due course.

Let's get something straight. Nucleus is a challenging experience, a diamond-hard Robotron-style shooter that shows the typical player absolutely no mercy whatsoever. It's a cackling, lightning-spewing Emperor Palpatine of a game and the chances are that you will be its snivelling, wailing, charbroiled Luke Skywalker. I've come to think of it as a spiritual successor to the 80s coin-op shooters that effortlessly annihilated all but the most freakishly gifted players, a game that has relentless demonstrated maximum domination over my meagre SixAxis skills in the two months it's been lurking on my PS3 hard disk.

Mat Hart, head of production at Ninja Theory, reckons we could be seeing a Heavenly Sword demo any day now.

2004's Sacred wasn't the kind of game that sets the world on fire - and in its defence, it never claimed otherwise. It was, in essence, a Diablo clone, a 2D-styled hack and slash RPG where you picked one of six pre-rolled characters and barged around taking out enemy after enemy with judicious mouse-clicking.

The value of playtesting really cannot be understated. The 360 has been privy to some lustrously polished titles of late, with gems like Forza 2 and The Darkness brightening up this miserable excuse for a summer. And with each, you have to admire the poor bastards that played through the same sections day in, day out to make sure that everything worked as it should and that nothing was glaringly wrong. With that in mind, you have to wonder whether the quality assurance guys on Hour Of Victory were ignored to rush the game onto shelves or whether they somehow overlooked the constant barrage of blunders that make up this total shambles. Either way, somebody needed to stand up and say something because, in this bedraggled state, Hour Of Victory is frankly unfit for public consumption and a complete waste of everyone's time and money.

Much like The Sims Life Stories, which breezed onto shelves back in February, Pet Stories is another self-contained (i.e. You don't require a copy of The Sims 2 to play it) adventure in Sim suburbia, designed for casual play and laptop friendly to boot. Whereas Life Stories took a more general romantic comedy route with its twin tales of lovelorn Sims struggling to make ends meet, Pet Stories - as the title cryptically suggests - introduces elements from the Pets expansion pack and weaves them into two stories revolving around domesticated animal hilarity.
