Releasing an episode of a game every single month can't be the easiest thing for a game developer to pull off.

Recently, I've been contemplating buying one of those fancy Aeron chairs. The justification is the same as when I spent a vast amount of money on an enormous flat-screen monitor; as not only a sedentary gamer, but a sedentary gamer who stops playing games and proceeds to be even more sedentary by writing about them for a living, I spend really rather a lot of time in a chair, in front of a screen. My regular bus route into town, which brings me past the Home Office building in Westminster, sealed the deal; everyone who works there has an Aeron chair, and all they do all day is release criminals, lose records and brainstorm new ways of letting John Reid watch you going to the toilet. None of them has to heft a PSP in service of a legion of readers desperate for information on the latest games. They don't know what real work is.

More details about Turok for Xbox 360 and PS3 have been excavated this afternoon, uncovering multiplayer support for up to 16 people, which doesn't appear to be as straightforward as it seems.

UK retailers have countered claims that PlayStation 3 isn't generating much pre-order interest, with two firms declaring it their most successful console campaign ever.

It's perhaps not the kindest thing to say about the PS3's launch line-up, but it's undeniable - for anyone who plays PC games or has already bought into the next generation courtesy of the Xbox 360, it's looking like Sony's entry to the market is more of a chance to revisit old friends than anything else. A limited selection of exclusives in the range are bolstered by a third-party line-up that looks suspiciously like an edited showreel of the 360's greatest hits - not, perhaps, the image that the pricely wunderkind ought to be projecting at this point in time.

It seems Tesco is looking to cover up the weak underbelly of its returns and refunds policy by stopping the initiative altogether, which will become effective from 26th February.

It seems the great MMO monster has gobbled up another innocent sci-fi licence, as news of Battlestar Galactica Online emerges.

Let's be honest: the main reason we're interested in Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on the Nintendo DS is that it's easy to imagine a footballing catastrophe. And not your everyday footballing catastrophe involving 19-year-old girls and mobile phone cameras, either, but something to put even Craig Bellamy to shame, with artists pretending to be injured so they wouldn't have to draw faces, and programmers hacking away features like tipsy Norwegian ankles in the dead of the Portuguese night. Impressive, then, that Konami does better than we expected. Not much better, but still.

The future of Without Warning developer CiRCLE Studio looks unclear today after several sources told GamesIndustry.biz that the company is to close - a report which has been disputed by CEO Jeremy Heath-Smith.
