Codemasters has revealed a few more specifics about Clive Barker's Jericho, the next-gen and PC horror first-person shooter in development at Madrid-based Mercury Steam.

We've been here before. Back in the dim and distant days of the original The Sims, EA released a version of the game where you could give your Sims pets, and gave it the quite pun-tastic title of "Unleashed". And since no-one has ever accused EA of letting go of a sellable idea when they could release it again and again and again (and again, but with nicer textures), we get the rather more prosaically named "Pets", this time based on The Sims 2.

Hello and welcome to the latest in our run of Eurogamer podcasts (well, welcome to the item telling you what's in it, anyway), featuring a look at some of the key debates raging in the world of gaming.

Nintendo has confirmed to our sister site GamesIndustry.biz that there are plans to launch a new version of the Wii featuring DVD playback functionality in Japan.

If you haven't found your home in Football Manager 2007, Championship Manager 2007 or LMA Manager 2007, EA's inviting you to give FIFA Manager 07 a go in its new PC demo. (Well, they'd probably like you to go for their version first, but let's be realistic.)

Viva Piñata is finished and off to be manufactured, Microsoft announced last night, meaning that those of you in America will be able to buy it on or around 9th November.

Konami is preparing special edition Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops PSP bundles for Japan, including a special camouflage-skinned PlayStation Portable console.

The Halo film has been postponed, Wingnut Films has admitted, following a number of setbacks including Universal and Fox's decision to ditch their interest in the adaptation over money issues.

Published as part of our sister-site GamesIndustry.biz' widely-read weekly newsletter, the GamesIndustry.biz Editorial is a weekly dissection of one of the issues weighing on the minds of the people at the top of the games business. It appears on Eurogamer a day after it goes out to GI.biz newsletter subscribers.

I have a busty woman in my head, talking in an over-provocative voice telling me to do things I really shouldn't. At least in this, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic is terribly familiar.

EA and Digital Illusions (DICE) have moved to calm concerns about the current state of Battlefield 2142 after players experienced a number of issues during the game's first few days on sale.

Microsoft has posted the full list of changes made in the Xbox 360 Autumn system update announced last night.

Kingdom Hearts producer Tetsuya Nomura claims that Disney's already clamouring for Square Enix to do a third in the cross-over RPG series.

Mercury Meltdown, like its nearly excellent predecessor, is that most gamey of things: a perfection puzzler. Played out a bit like a triathlon where you have to do everything at once, the idea is to manoeuvre a little blob of liquid metal around a maze suspended in the sky, without letting any of the blob slip off the side, while collecting little sparkling stars, and all within a time limit.

Those of you hoping to buy the cheaper, 20GB PlayStation 3 and then upgrade its hard disk and network functionality at a later date may be bang out of luck - there's currently no way to get Wi-Fi into PS3 unless it's there out of the box.

Microsoft has once again denied a forthcoming Xbox 360 price cut, telling the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that it has "no plans to adjust the price of the Xbox 360 this year".

French publisher Focus Home has announced that TrackMania United - the latest release in the addictive series that mixes racing, puzzles and track design - will be released in America next February.

You can read the first part of our history of the Final Fantasy series elsewhere on the site. Stay tuned for our review of Final Fantasy XII tomorrow.

We're still swooning over SimBin's 9/10-rated GTR 2, and already there's a demo out of the next game from the Swedish codeshop: RACE.

Following the closure of Lik-Sang last week, fellow online retailer Play-Asia.com has told customers reserving an import PlayStation 3 that their preorders have been cancelled.

Cheer up, Tomb Raider fans! It turns out the 10th anniversary remake of Lara's first adventure hasn't been cancelled after all - and it won't just be appearing on PSP, either.

I'm a sucker for science fiction, but after a while movies and games get predictable. Aliens try to take over the world but in the end humans always win. Destroy All Humans! was different; it allowed you to play as Cryptosporidium-137 (who was named after a particularly nasty infection - do feel free to check Wikipedia for all the gory details), a member of the Grey-like Furon race who are hell-bent on the invasion of Earth. They also needed the brainstems of humans which contain precious strands of Furon DNA to ensure the continuation of their race.

SEGA has released an updated demo of Medieval II: Total War, adding a new map to the line-up of the previous release, which had apparently been ripped from a magazine cover-disk.

EA has ended the month the way it began - with a Need For Speed Carbon demo.

With Ridge Racer 7 now less than two weeks away from release in Japan (yes, I am hyperventilating a bit), comments from producer Hideo Teramoto have shed some more light on hard disk usage and single-player/multiplayer separation.

Concrete details about Halo 3 have started to appear on the Internet after Bungie invited a few magazine people round for tea and Blood Gulch, with subscriber issues of Swedish magazine LEVEL revealing weapon, vehicle, level, control and collector's edition details. The latter sounds particularly eye-catching - or should we say 'head-catching', since it apparently includes a replica Spartan helmet.

As you've probably seen already, we've got a PlayStation 3. Specifically, we've got a debug unit (which means that it's almost final hardware, but the operating system doesn't have multimedia functionality and so on just yet) with a few bits and pieces of beta software, sitting right here in front of us and purring away. Purring away very quietly, we might add.
