The last time Eurogamer looked at SEGA Rally it was little more than a tech demo. This time around it looked a bit more like a fully-fledged game. That's partly because this time they were showing off the game's 'adaptive AI' and 'bumper to bumper close competitive racing'. Along with the persistent track deformation that they wowed us with the last time, the super-detailed, lushly tropical visuals, and a physics engine that's been developed internally from the ground up, it's a mix that SEGA's new Racing Studio hopes will capture the arcade essence of the 12-year-old original.

Electronic Arts is embarking on a new venture with television company Endemol to develop "a new digital entertainment concept that bridges the divide between traditional TV and videogames", GamesIndustry.biz reports.

The World Superbikes series may not be as familiar to gamers as MotoGP, but at times the production-based series has arguably been more popular, particularly in Britain with home-grown champions Carl Fogarty (1994, 1995, 1998, 1999), Neil Hodgson (2003) and James Toseland (2004), riding bikes based on those in showrooms, but with around 200mph top speeds, around 210bhp, and up-rated suspension, brakes and engine parts.

Having bought most of the games available for download on the PlayStation Store, I'm struck by the ambition Sony has shown, along with the strong sense of innovation, experimentation and value.

The original SpellForce spawned two expansion packs, and this first add-on for the sequel probably won't be the last either. Developer Phenomic is playing the RPG trump card here: dragons. The big fat scaley fire-breathing loot-hoarding lizards which are everyone's favourite beastie. But is Phenomic merely milking the dragon? Indeed, can a dragon be milked? And (perhaps the most important question of all), will they still include the obligatory mage who sounds like a German version of Julian Clary, but a touch camper?

It has been five months since the PlayStation 3 was first released, and it's curious to note that support for the Sixaxis controller is still somewhat thin on the ground. Sure, we've had the odd spot of lacklustre optional support (MotorStorm, Virtua Tennis 3, Need for Speed and Q*Bert spring to mind) but there's been nothing to test the Sixaxis motion sensor as a precision controller; no showcase game to suggest that wobbling your joypad about offers anything better than using the bog standard analogue controls. SCEA's flOw boasted full motion-sensitive support of course, but its ketamine-fuelled pace was barely a test of the controller's mettle.
