Can't get enough of that World of Warcraft eh? Perhaps you're sitting at your desk at work, poring over forums, imagining all the clicking on boar while typing "lolhats" you're going to do when you get home. You disgust me.

I'm not sure if this is going to work out. Sure, it's beautiful - stunningly beautiful, in fact - but there's just so much baggage. For all her sultry good looks, I just can't forget that time when she stood there with another man - men! - in front of the world. All those words, all those phrases, they all keep popping into my head - and I know that she's always going to be associated with him, and with the words that they shared. It's just difficult to find perspective.

It appears on Eurogamer a day after it goes out to GI.biz newsletter subscribers.

Nintendo is planning its usual midnight bash for the Wii launch in Europe next week.

It might not have been the most glamorous of last year's winter line-up, but Raven's X-Men Legends II was, by all accounts, a compulsive "Baldurian dungeon crawler with a comic book bent" that improved on the previous XML in every way possible.

The GBA games were surprisingly effective, and last year's American Sk8land for the DS managed the enviable feat of being better than its console big brother. Their versions have always stuck to the purer Hawk game of the early Pro Skater series, while the NeverSoft versions deviated further and further. Until now, that is.

In the crazy unreality that games reviewers generally live in, one minute you're up to your ankles, wading through beautiful rippling water, gazing up at a vast, beautiful stone architecture reaching up into the sky, the next you're recoiling in horror as a roaring chainsaw cleaves your skull in one fluid, sickening motion. The next minute, the miracle of electricity ensure that you live to fight another day - this time asking your frazzled synapses to journey back in time to 1980 to pilot a space craft in a last ditch attempt to save mankind from a determined alien invasion.
