As you've probably spotted, we've got a brand new Tabula Rasa trailer up on Eurogamer TV at the moment, giving you an idea of what to expect from NCsoft's latest MMORPG. Not content with that, we've also got hold of a quick Q&A with Destination Games head and Ultima legend Richard Garriott. We didn't get to ask the questions, sadly, but nevertheless it's an interesting update - giving you an idea of what's changed since last year's build, how the game compares to rival MMOs, and what we can expect to see in this year's E3 demo.

Charismatic Nintendo exec Reggie Fils-Aime put in an appearance at the Nintendo World store in New York last week - and dropped a hint about something we can expect to see during E3 week on Nintendo Revolution.

It must be tough to be a racing game. Of course I've never been burdened with being a racing game myself, but I do rather suspect that there would be two things I'd be concerned with were I to be so magically transformed.

The vehicular combat of Pseudo Interactive's Full Auto is to return this E3 - but to PlayStation 3 rather than Xbox 360.

Eden Studios is adopting a TV-show style format for its forthcoming survival horror game Alone in the Dark.

Relic Entertainment's waking up the Necrons for a new Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War expansion called Dark Crusade - and throwing in the Tau Empire race too.

While Halo 3's often been linked with next Tuesday's Microsoft press conference, IGN now claims that it's confirmed that the game will be shown off in video form.

Ubisoft's set to publish From Software's Xbox 360 RPG Enchant Arm in Europe and the US this summer, the publisher's announced.

THQ's announced a multi-game publishing deal to bring the GTR racing sim series to Xbox 360 - starting next spring.

Valve's announced that Half-Life 2: Episode One is now available to pre-purchase and pre-load on Steam.

Oh, it's a shame to see what Hollywood's doing to CG-animated movies these days. Back when Toy Story was released, it was a fresh, innovative and exciting genre of infinite possibilities. Today: a formulaic rehashing of the same wacky group of anthropomorphic characters wise-cracking the same tawdry jokes with a moderately serviceable wink to the grown-ups, and transparent parodies of modern-day culture. All tied up in some high-concept plot that tediously echoes the previous one on the production line. The more things change the more they stay the same.

It was a codename after all. Nintendo's just announced the new identity of the console previously known as Revolution - it's called Nintendo Wii.

The Road to the World Cup was as rocky as it's ever been for EA. After some appalling defending and ill-advised tactics, the critics were sharpened their knives in readiness as another blunderous effort went wide. "2/10!" howled an exasperated Bramwell. "Dreadful...a terrible disservice to things that merely inspire dread," he fumed. Even the more generous, forgiving critics and diehard FIFA fans were less than polite in their assessment of EA's first next gen footy title. When even this lot mumble "I'd have given it a 6, personally," you know something's up.

There are many reasons to hate Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. There's the dwarf-tossing. Alone, that's unforgivable. There are the myriad, meaningless plot changes. They're far too numerous to mention. But worst, worse than even randomly altering the flow of Tolkien's epic, is the omission of Tom Bombadil and Goldberry. For that, Jackson, you go to Hell.

As we all know, Nintendo is hoping to revolutionise gaming later this year with a new form of control input. It may be just what we need really. Because game developers are never, ever going to give us fully configurable controls.

The scariest thing about Ghosts 'n Goblins isn't spooky graveyards, or things rising from the ground arms outstretched. Nor is it the fact that the game's renowned for being one of the most challenging platformers of all time. It's the fact that it's now over TWENTY years since we first played it. Crumbs, blimey and indeed 'zoiks' that makes us feel old.

In my head, Capcom's divided into two parts these days. The first part makes all the obvious stuff - Resident Evil, Onimusha, Devil May Cry, and all the other breadwinners. The second part basically takes drugs all the time and occasionally does a game about a schizophrenic assassin who has sex with nurses, or a wolf who is actually a god and uses a paintbrush to cut people in half in heaven in between listening to a garrulous flea ramble on about mice with swords.

The atmosphere is thick with sweat and probably tears. Improbably dressed men and women lunge menacingly at you from every direction, ducking into freshly wrought trenches as you prowl amongst them, a giant pack strapped to your back and bloodlust in your eyes - all the while you're conscious that if you don't hurry, you'll run out of energy and it'll all be over. Time's against you, and you're just ONE MAN against an ARMY OF SIN.

Microsoft exec Peter Moore's been allowed into a room with a microphone again - and this time he's talked a bit about games.

The PlayStation 3's final controller design and the console's line-up of launch software will be unveiled at E3, Sony Worldwide Studios head Phil Harrison said yesterday.

Bioware's revealed a bit more about Xbox 360 RPG Mass Effect - including the fact that it'll be playable at E3 in May.

Whilst Sony may yet be the last of the big three to launch a next-generation console, the company is stepping ahead of the competition with its pre-E3 press event - which will take place before both Microsoft's and Nintendo's.

Ubisoft is currently working on a Revolution game titled Red Steel, according to the latest issue of US magazine Game Informer.

NCsoft has announced that the third instalment in the Guild Wars series will go on show at this year's E3 in May. But behind closed doors, mind, so only a select few will get to take a peek.

You might not be able to rocket-jump into helicopters, but Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is still looking like a mighty fine earth-versus-aliens alternative to Battlefield 2.

Capcom's officially unveiled God Hand, the next game from Clover Studio, which is due out on PS2 this year.

With E3 just around the corner, Capcom's getting in there early - giving us the chance to try out some of its titles including Lost Planet, Okami and Ultimate Ghosts 'n' Goblins - and releasing a ton of new screenshots.
