There's something about spooky mansion games that tweaks our nostalgia glands. Maybe it's the enduring glow of Atic Atac and Eternal Darkness that does it, or too many survival-horror adventures down the years, but even lock-'em-ups like Grabbed by the Ghoulies, The Haunted Mansion and Luigi's Mansion get a warm welcome around these parts. It's odd, but being trapped in a room and forced to fight off a succession of spooks (or in this case, haunted furniture) has a peculiar appeal. Someone call a shrink.

Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. Welcome back. If it wasn't for Pac-Man and his relentless pursuers many of us might not have been lured into the gaping maw of videogames in the first place. When I first got pulled in by this gaming tractor beam, I was barely tall enough to see the arcade cabinet's screen, but lure of dot-munching proved instantly irresistible. It's easy to embellish these things after the fact, but Morpheus himself may as well have been standing there offering me the blue pill of normal life, or the red pill of a lifetime of staring at a screen, open mouthed. As it turned out, the four yellow power pills on offer inside the maze seemed way more interesting: it turned the ghosts blue, ma! Watch me eat them.

I'll go a long way to spare bandwidth. In fact, I'll go to Surrey. It's the day before the Dark Messiah demo's being released and I've trekked down to the wreckage of Ubisoft's HQ to spend some quality time with Arkane's forthcoming fantasy-first-person action-RPG, so Eurogamer can be the first with their impressions. Not that it's quite the same code as the demo that's been released, with access to a few more weapons and skills than what's available to you if you download it, but the tone and timbre's the same. So get it downloading and read this while you're waiting.

Before we get down to the hardcore analysis of the first expansion pack for one of the best PC games of last year, I've a little information of public interest I feel compelled to disseminate. From what I understand - from many earnest and slightly breathless witnesses with red cheeks and tingling groins - fellow Eurogamer writer James Rossignol is a phenomenal lover. Peerless in all techniques, Rossignol is - apparently - the man for all your orgasmic needs.

There was going to be a joke here. It was going to be about Tony Hawk's career path - from Pro Skater to THUG before THAWing out and settling down to toast his life with Downhill Jam on it - but I've just checked and there's no bread and if I can't have some jam on toast then you're all just going to have to sit through a meaningless paragraph. There.

If Mayor Ken had his way, we would need a passport to London. The M25 would act as a giant metallic barrier to the outside world, built from a wall of endless rows of abandoned cars stacked twelve high. Meanwhile, Tony Blair would declare Greater London part of the United States and driving a car within the confines of the London Orbital would become the exclusive preserve of high-ranking politicians and royalty. The rest of us would sodding well use public transport and be grateful for its existence - but only if we use an Oyster card, wear an electronic tag and don't mind being occasionally blown up.
