Those of you looking to try out Ubisoft's latest Rainbow Six title, Vegas, won't have long to wait - with a playable demo set to go live on 23rd October in Europe.

Want a long shot? Now that the media firestorm engulfing Bully is beginning to rival weekly scandals about what Dennis the Menace is up to for absurdity, how about Defcon as most controversial game of the year? It's a game that features the annihilation of every city on earth every time you play. All it takes is a dirty nuke going off somewhere (and that's bound to happen sooner or later, yeah?), a screenshot of the city disappearing beneath an ultra-white nuclear bloom and the small legend "7.2 million dead" and suddenly Introversion is public enemy number one.

The creators of PC and console title Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter were celebrating last night after the game picked up two trophies at the British Academy Video Games Awards.

SCE Worldwide Europe VP Jamie MacDonald reckons that Europe will quickly get over the delay between the US and Japanese launches of PlayStation 3 next month and its European debut next March.

Apparently all good things come to those who wait, so, perhaps we should be grateful for having to wait an extra six months for the expanded 360 version of The Godfather to appear. Unfortunately for EA, it's more a case of 'better GTA clones come to those who wait', with the passing months only confirming that many of the flaws we discovered the first time around are now even more irritating once you've factored in the progress made by the competition.

Fresh from luring journalists to his film set so he can beat them up, German director Uwe Boll has reportedly confirmed that he's up to direct a sequel to BloodRayne - last year's critically savaged adaptation of Terminal Reality's action game of the same name.

Apologies to any Alans reading Eurogamer today, but it's always been one of those names that conjures up visions of the ultimate grey civil servant. Like Norman. Or Kenneth. Or any number of folks in the Conservative Party, not-at-all-coincidentally. As far as game character names go, it joins the pantheon of boringly named game heroes, like Gordon Freeman, Monty Mole and um, Eric from Skooldaze. But as someone pointed as we weaved through the streets of Barcelona, would Half-Life have hit quite as big if Valve's seminal opus was called Gordon Freeman?

Fans of killing things by clicking on them might want to check out the WarChiefs demo released overnight, offering a sample of Ensemble Studios' expansion pack for Age of Empires III.

A moment's silence for my EyeToy, please. Like the Atari Jaguar, the Dreamcast keyboard and the Xbox Music Maker microphone before it, it now belongs to the dust-monsters under my bed, and I probably won't see it again until I move house.

Love gamerpoints, but can't be bothered to sit around all night questing after achievements? Well that's just life, isn't it? Stop moaning.
