This review is proving awkward to write.

The first thing I remember is waking up in the back of a warm taxi cab, speeding through the driving rain. The driver, a frog, introduces himself as the Kapp'n, and asks me a variety of questions to find out who I am - secretly it helps me ascertain that very thing myself. It turns out my name is Mathew. I'm heading to the town of NewGenki, a small town populated by animals, and I have no money to pay the fare. Despite that fact, he drops me off cheerfully.

Oh dear. With Tony Hawk games you're supposed to begin with one of those quick historical rundowns of the previous games in the series, in order that you can file the latest in the correct slot. But it's all got too confusing. So many games. In order to survive this, let's say that this is the first Tony Hawk game for the DS, acknowledge that Vicarious Visions have been porting the series over to Nintendo systems for a good long while, and recognise that there are parallels between American Sk8land and the current big-boy consoles' American Wasteland. And we'll also all agree that things went a bit wonky with the two Underground games, especially the horrid rubbish of THUG 2 and its Jackass-infected non-skateboarding lameness. Phew, eh?

Vacillating, a decision wavering somewhere between a four and a five, I wonder: would I feel differently about Stubbs the Zombie if I were to know nothing about the people behind it?

I just want to slam my fist into this whining hostage's face. Is it too much to ask?

Pick up your DS. Hold it above your head. Walk outside. Go somewhere busy. Now shout: “I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY!” Then go back home.

HP Lovecraft wasn't exactly famous for his pleasant children's fairytales. Rancid putrefaction, a loose grip on sanity, and a malevolent cast of abject weirdoes were just a few of the ingredients you could expect from your average bit of HP sauce - a point certainly not lost on Brummie studio Headfirst in its long-delayed horror adventure title, Call of Cthulhu.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, you lot! That's it from us - we'll be heading back to our respective corners and plotting a boozy course through the winter wilderness until we re-emerge, "refreshed" on January 3rd.

Over the hill, across the bridge, through the valley and under the shade of an old oak tree, a brilliant white flower sways gently on the virtual breeze.

Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble thinks about dreams up ways to make it matter in a 2d fighting game what the DS can do and then.

Microsoft has reportedly started to replenish stock of Xbox 360s in American retail channels.

Most of the time, when people say "with the best will in the world," or "I don't mean to be rude," you know full well they're probably going to follow it up with something unnecessarily harsh. It's a cheap way of softening the blow, when, in fact, you'd perhaps prefer they just came out and said something. But in this case, we really do have the best will in the world for this ridiculously long overdue port of Operation Flashpoint. It's one of the most progressive, ambitious, forward-looking military shooters of its time - that time being 2001.

The NHL and the NHLPA continue to argue over the issue of exclusive third party videogame licenses, as negotiations are resumed with both Electronic arts and Take-Two Interactive.

We've popped some new trailers up on our Eurogamer TV Beta this week, giving you the chance to see the new Act of War expansion, Day of Defeat: Source's game engine cinematic effects, that slightly ludicrous Hellgate London cinematic trailer and footage from Lineage II Chronicle 4.

Epic Games has reportedly confirmed that Unreal Tournament 2007 will be coming to PlayStation 3 - and in spring 2006.

Danish dev Runestone has announced that its MMO project Seed will launch in April, with beat sign-ups kicking off next month through the game's website.

EA has come over all benevolent, manoeuvring its twenty-billion-dollar frame down the Xbox chimney and festively depositing little parcels of war under the Downloadable Content Christmas tree.
