Oh GOOD, another game set in feudal Japan. Why do developers persist with this? As everyone knows, history is boring and rubbish. Hence you don't see many copies of Grand Theft Auto: Constantinople on the shelves, or Project Gotham Penny Farthing Racing, and you're probably not looking forward to Halo 3000 B.C.

Sony Computer Entertainment has defended itself against accusations of racism over a controversial advert for the new 'Ceramic white' PSP.

When SEGA set up its new driving studio dream team in Solihull in the West Midlands of the UK, it made it pretty clear what the plan was from the word go. Straight away it put a recruitment advert in the UK trade press asking for applicants, with no effort made to disguise that it was aiming to revive classic SEGA driving franchises for the next generation. Most of us twigged that could include the likes of SEGA Rally, Crazy Taxi and Daytona, and so it proved with the announcement of SEGA Rally - a true re-invention of a much-loved rally franchise.

SEGA Driving Studio is bringing SEGA Rally to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC next year, SEGA's announced. It'll be called "SEGA Rally Revo" in the States and SEGA Rally here - and it'll launch in both places in 2007.

A little yellow birdie with blue trainers and a red beak has told Eurogamer that a DS version of New Zealand Story is heading to Europe this autumn.

Last month, you may recall, we brought you news of an intergalactic war game called Romanians In Space. Mainly because we liked the name.

Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki says he's working very hard on the jet-ski parts of Dead or Alive X2, but other details like the story have yet to be nailed down. The tits are all in place though, obviously.

Our old friend Internet Reports appears to have outdone himself this time. He's been going round telling everyone that the UK will get 150,000 PS3s in time for launch, and that he got the info from Official PlayStation Magazine.

Ubisoft has a pair of new maps available for Heroes of Might & Magic V, but you can't just download them. What do you think this is? The internet?

It's not the end of the world (or the end of the World Cup). But for many of the football fans who read these pages, June was like attempting to scratch a four-year itch with a bucket of feathers covered in Paprika. Of the 14 that qualified, only four European teams remain: Germany, Portugal, Italy and France. And they're probably not reading this; they're too busy dancing in the streets (or in the Italians' case, the court room).

Those of you excited about Ubisoft's upcoming 3D remake of The Settlers II can now download a demo - providing you can put up with it being in German.

Sony Europe has officially announced that Ridge Racer 2 will be coming to PlayStation Portable before the end of the year.

Final Fantasy VIII is being billed as the biggest turn-based RPG of them all, a game so epic in its approach that it's suitable as feature-length film material.

Ancient Aztec legends spoke of a day when the great feathered serpent god Quetzacoatl would return from across the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately for the people of medieval Mexico, it was actually the Spanish who arrived on their coast in the early 16th century, and promptly set about reducing the entire Aztec empire to ruins and slaughtering most of its population...

"Welcome to EuroGamer Airways, Flight 0001. This is your pilot speaking. Today we will be taking off from the land of Microsoft and after a flight time of 16 hours, we will be landing on Planet Earth at 2:04 am local time.

Infinite Loop seem to have a strange fixation with hidden monarchs. In their last game, Codename Eagle, you played a British agent with the unlikely name of "Red", who was revealed in an (unintentionally) hilarious cutscene half way through the game to really be the rightful heir to the Russian throne.

It's very hard to pigeonhole a title like Nocturne. Initial observations would indicate some sort of Tomb Raider / X-Files hybrid, but things are far less brazen and much more fantastical than those two titles.

Categorising a role playing game used to be simple... If the adventure was heavily loaded with statistics and featured armour-clad knights stomping around saying "verily" a lot, you could be certain it was a western developed RPG running on the PC.

Antietam is a real time wargame set during the American Civil War, recreating the bloodiest day in American military history, in which around four thousand men were killed and another seventeen thousand wounded.

Scientists. You just can't trust them.

It's Saturday morning, and it's a typically grim English day. The ground stands as it has done for years, overshadowing the houses along its perimeter. Empty coke cans rattle through the terraces, and litter skips merrily across the muddy pitch.

Novalogic caused quite a frenzy when they released the original Delta Force, where you played the old clichéd role of the US soldier whose job it was to infiltrate hostile territory and neutralise enemy activity. Devoted addicts were understandably excited when news of a sequel spread, but is it just more of the same?

The once united Gods are now at war with each other. Nakith, God of Nights, broke a cardinal rule of the pact by spawning another God .. Ska, God of Darkness. Nakith pleaded his case to the council, but they voted against him.

In a move that somewhat cuts against the proverbial grain, Fox Sports want to emphasize that NBA Basketball 2000 is not an EA Sports-beater, but instead is a basketball game that excels in its own right.

The year is 2005, and the members of the United Nations are about to sign a treaty in Los Angeles to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

Hockey was always the one sport I found crunchingly violent at school. Due to the teacher's inconsistency with decisions and his firm belief that any untoward tackling was just a case of getting used to the rules, playing hockey was literally putting your life out on a limb.

It is one of motor racing's greatest challenges for man and machine, lasting for a full 24 hours. There is only one 24 Heures du Mans, otherwise known as .. LeMans 24 Hours. And now, thanks to developers Eutechnyx, you too can drive around in a big circle all day and all night...

At its heart Codename Eagle is a mission-based first person shooter set in an alternative history where Tsarist Russia has invaded Europe before the Germans could kick off the First World War.
