KO. You've spent the last thirty seconds pummelling the life out of your opponent, be it with your fists in more traditional fighters or a sword the size of Wales in Soul Calibur and, apparently, your hapless victim is simply 'knocked out'. It's amazing how many games skirt around the actual lasting effects of such punishment and it's here - if anywhere - that you have to take your hat off to games like Mortal Kombat. Don't worry - it's just this once. Being able to actually finish your opponent brings closure to proceedings so when your foe explodes in a shower of blood, there can be little doubt whether they'll be getting up again.

Microsoft's Shane Kim has played down the significance of Sony's recent PS3 announcements, claiming that the company will not be changing its ongoing Xbox 360 strategy.

"I don't get to go on many adventures in real life," says tall Girl A scratching a furry ear. "Final fantasy XI allows me to be a heroine, to fight alongside people; people that sometimes go on to become close friends. It's a social thing and a questing thing. That's why I play."

It may all be very exciting, this PS3 nonsense, but there's one announcement that got lost in the mix yesterday - and it's nothing to do with Sony's next-gen console.

The Movies expansion pack that Lionhead said would be announced shortly has been announced - and with the press release only running to about 250 useful words, s'probably fair to say it's been announced shortly. [Fired -Ed]

"Every single developer that's tried to work on a Naughty Dog franchise before has failed miserably."

Street Fighter II was the game that shifted most fighters from arcades to home consoles. Since those days though, we've seen some truly abysmal offerings. Who can forget the nightmare that was Capcom vs. SNK EO's appearance on the GameCube? Or the abominable Capcom Fighting Jam?

The Nintendo GameCube has to be one of the poorest wee souls of gaming. Despite hosting some of the best games seen on any system, I imagine that by now anyone with a GameCube has relegated it to doorstop status, with only the mildest of worries about an unstopped door swinging in the wind when The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is released. With even the Dreamcast somehow scraping a steady stream of high quality, largely exclusive shoot-'em-up titles in Japan over four years since the end of it's production, it's depressing to see nothing but a dribble of off cuts from multi-platform franchises lining the release schedule for the GameCube.

Sony boss Ken Kutaragi has confirmed plans for a worldwide release of PlayStation 3 in "early November" at a press conference in Tokyo, which has now concluded. And by worldwide he means Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.

The first Buzz was a great game. No, shuddup. It's the only game my parents played last year. It's the game which people - even more so than Singstar - turned up at my house, stinking of booze, and demanded an opportunity to play. Hell, I spent the last six months in an increasingly estranged relationship with my girlfriend, but no matter how bad it got and how the hatred simmered, we could always play Buzz silently until it lightened our mood. When I finally got around to returning the game to the person I borrowed it from, we split two weeks later.

Comebacks are almost always rubbish. Who can forget Paul Gascoigne's harrowing spiral into League 2 obscurity or the sight of a tormented, chubby Paul Merson waddling out onto the Tamworth turf the other week? It wasn't meant to end this way. They were great players who didn't know when to quit, and it's a painful thing to witness first hand.
