Bethesda Softworks has denied reports that it's developing an expansion pack called Knights of the White Stallion for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Today's arbitrary assemblage of Eurogamer staff in the same place can mean only one thing: it's time for another of our already-moderately-popular podcasts, and this there's plenty to listen to in this one.

Everybody's favourite Tiger, Eldrick Woods is firmly established at the top of the golf game. Clean-cut, (usually) unemotional and almost boringly brilliant, he's the Michael Schumacher of golf. Well, no, he's the Tiger Woods of golf. His consistency is beyond comparison.

Eden Studios, Atari and Microsoft are working on a patch for Test Drive Unlimited, aimed at fixing a number of issues discovered since the game came out on Friday on Xbox 360.

There's undoubtedly something of a dilemma when first playing Volition's Saint's Row. It's too easy to yell "It's a GTA clone!" and be done with it - you want to rise above that. But, erk, Saint's Row is so similar to Rockstar's series in so many ways that it's beyond impossible to ignore. The look, the map design, the animations... the gameplay, all walk that incredibly tenuous and crumbling pathway along the cliff edge of Inspiration above the fetid waters of Copying.

Electronic Arts has announced Cricket 07 for PS2 and PC will be released in November - and in the meantime it's keeping some dirt in its pocket to shine up a new shot system to allow for more versatile batting.

Atari and Obsidian are set to release the Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset a month ahead of the game's release in October.

Right, that's it, no more game-playing for me. From now on I'm just going to read optimistic previews and get my pleasure from anticipation. If I'd done this with Night Watch then the following paragraphs would have been blissfully free of nasty, soul-rotting whinge-words; no 'ill-conceived', no 'woeful', no 'disappointing', no 'hopeless', no 'dire'. The sum-total of Global Negativity wouldn't have been increased by 0.00000000000026%; right now I'd be a fractionally less cynical, less suspicious gamer.

Lazy old Ubisoft has decided to make up for only having seven titles available at the Wii launch by punting out a version of Splinter Cell: Double Agent for Nintendo's new console as well.

Save for the abysmal sex-sim Singles, there's not really been any challenger to The Sims in terms of megalomaniac life-control simulators. Presumably this is because of the tremendous amount of work it would take to produce enough assets as well as the difficulties of tying together a 3D world and a mass of behind-the-scenes information, rather than the distaste of most developers for games where you spend most of your time encouraging your naturally filthy avatars to perform their ablutions.

Having announced that Kingdom Hearts II will be released in Europe on September 29th, Square Enix has also confirmed that the highly anticipated RPG has been given a decent PAL treatment.

With Test Drive Unlimited now available in the US and Europe, Atari has released a pair of new cars to celebrate - but you can't download them over here yet.

You know that bit in Superman Returns when Clark Kent finds out that, in his absence, that filthy hussy Lois Lane has been shacked up with Cyclops from the X-Men? And in his pent-up frustration he inadvertently squeezes the picture frame so hard that he shatters the glass? I did that to my PSP while playing this, the long awaited fourth game in the Ghosts N' Goblins (or more accurately, the G&G) series. True story.

Detractors may have accused Sony of arrogance with its marketing of the PlayStation 3, but Ken Kutaragi has recently responded rather humbly when discussing the hardware problems that have beset the electronics giant.

Microsoft's planning to release Project Gotham Racing 4 on Xbox 360 towards the end of 2007 or in the first half of 2008.

From Software's RPG Enchanted Arms (Enchant Arm in Japan) is definitely on its way to PlayStation 3 after all, and should be out in the Far East by the end of the year.

Those of you who get a bit 'moist' about changes to the Xbox 360 interface will be interested to hear about some of the changes coming up in the next dashboard update, due out sometime this autumn.

Considering the natural freedom of touch-screen control, it's surprising that there haven't been more flight-based games on the DS. It's been crying out for a Pilotwings since day one (Freedom Wings, the only real flight game released thus far for the system, hardly fills the void). A proper Star Fox, though - a gorgeous, unforgiving, explosive, on-rails and above all flight-based Star Fox, not this Adventures and Assault nonsense - would surely be the next-best thing. Memories of the quirky and delightful Lylat Wars have encouraged me to really look forward to Star Fox DS; of all the N64 ports that have mysteriously failed to materialise on the DS, Lylat Wars must surely be near the top of the world's Most Wanted list.

Nintendo Europe has claimed that details of Wii accessories and their prices on a US retailer website are just "rumour and speculation".
