Football is a game designed by masochists for masochists. Any game where you spend approximately 98 per cent of the time watching it engaged in a perverse sort of hell has to have something very wrong with it indeed. But that's enough about your correspondent's lack of Pro Evolution Soccer skills; there was a strange and mystical era in the late '80s/early '90s when football games were purer, more instantly enjoyable, simpler yet deceptively deep and didn't require the sort of combo knowledge that would scare off the average Street Fighter II fiend. In many ways, the likes of Sensible Soccer and its sparring partner Kick Off 2 really were God's Football.

As Sensible Soccer's long-overdue rebirth continues apace, Tower Studios and Kuju Entertainment have revealed the first tantalising details of the mobile phone version of the all-time footy classic.

Shigeru Miyamoto's hinted that the custom Wii Tennis characters we all had a good laugh about at E3 were more than just a conference showpiece.

With the last day of E3 looming already, despite reading our excellent coverage of the rest of the show, and getting to hear what Miyamoto and Sakurai think of the new Nintendo Wii (they think it's brilliant, shockingly) you're probably wondering where on earth our hands-on coverage of the Nintendo Wii first-party titles has been.

If we had a new Dreamcast game for every time someone said, "That was definitely the last new Dreamcast game," we'd pretty much be in the situation we are now. Hrm. Anyway, Under Defeat is Japanese shoot-'em-up developer G.Rev's latest attempt at a eulogy for Dreamcast, a system still doggedly scratching at the inside of its coffin - at least in native Japan - five years and two months after Sega pulled the plug.

Everyone loves Katamari. That is to say, everyone who's played the PS2 games - Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari - seems to love them. To bits. And that includes us, so we had high hopes for the first PSP instalment in the series. Unfortunately, since we started playing it, our hopes have been - well, not quite dashed exactly, but sort of rolled down a hill and smashed into a giant barking dog so hard that some of the bits have come off. If you love Katamari, you'll know what we're on about.

Nearly four years after rhythm action title Gitaroo Man arrived on the PS2, Koei has announced that a PSP version is on the way.

Monkey Ball - a series established by tilt control. Nintendo Wii - a console designed to harness gestures and hand motions. The "perfect fit" intro practically writes itself. Monkey Ball and Wii - the perfhnnh! Hrrr! Gnngh! Khhhk! Grakt! Right, stopped it writing itself. So, instead, let's talk about how much the new controls are going to wind people up.

It's official - Lara Croft loves Eurogamer.

There came a point during Nintendo's E3 conference - somewhere between the time Reggie was banging on about "innovation" and "feel" and "change" and "it's hot if it's disruptive" and "the next leap" and "inclusion, not exclusion" and the time we tried to fashion a noose out of our laptop keyboard only to realise it was over and we could go home - that it dawned on us there wasn't really a lot of time spent discussing the new new things.

Out of all the publishers at this year's E3, Ubisoft housed some of the most impressive games at the entire show, so much so that we had to wait for a certain Steven Spielberg to finish admiring their wares before we could squeeze into a tiny all-white demo room that was showing off its next big hope, Assassin's Creed. Made by an all-star Montreal team comprised of members that contributed to various incarnations of Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six, the buzz surrounding the game is understandably high already.
