Four of them were Lumines titles, including a brand new Xbox Live Arcade version announced during Microsoft's pre-E3 conference - featuring Madonna, of all people. But it was actually Gameloft who helped us track him down - the French company had Lumines Mobile on display on its stand, and we arrived just in time to see them attaching a few "Best of Show" nomination plaques to the display.

Blizzard Entertainment has reached a settlement with a Florida man who was blocked from selling an unofficial World of Warcraft guide.

If you're entering the world of massively-multiplayer games, there's one particular world which you're going to have to be careful about not entering too much. That of the World of Warcraft.

The only thing to do is... well... do something else.

There's a very good reason why people are instantly suspicious about movie-licensed games - because nine times out of ten they're a monumental waste of time that insult the intelligence of even the most dim-witted gamer. Case in point X-Men: The Official Game, a tired, generic beat 'em up so bored with its own pointless existence that it even decided to commit suicide on us shortly before the (anti) climax.
