So. Binge drinking then. The government says it's a bad thing and no mistake, and they're going to get the rozzers on anyone who does it. Apparently, people who drink are outcasts from righteous society and smell, to boot.

At last! The next generation cavalry marched into Eurogamer's offices yesterday afternoon, allowing us to finally get up close and personal with Microsoft's eagerly-anticipated new games console. Retail and debug units arrived at the same time and Microsoft's penchant for marketing whimsy is pervasive even now - most evident in the Xbox 360 briefcase, its foam-padded interior snug host to a wireless controller, chargers, remote control, optional controller battery packs and game software. Wrenching the console free of its cardboard packing, it feels roughly as heavy as an Xbox, yet stands unshakably on its base, the solid DVD tray opening invitingly when called upon.

It's nice to see that enemies can put aside their differences in the name of sport. Just as the hyper-violent females of Dead Or Alive are placated by a bit of sunshine and beach volleyball, so the head-bonking and surreal rampages of the Mario cast are put on hold for a few rounds of baseball.

Imagine lugging Tolstoy's giant novel War and Peace home in your satchel, the physical weight of its 1500 pages mirroring the life-enriching substance of the prose; an epic in the true - oft-misused - sense of the description.

Prepare to be astounded. This reviewer is one of the fabled 'UK Dozen' - the remaining twelve British citizens that still haven't read a Harry Potter book. This either makes me a fantastic choice for this review or an atrocious one (make your views known through the usual channels). On the positive side I'll be able to give you an assessment completely free from Potter-love or Potter-loathing. On the negative side, diehard Potterites will have to put up with me using ignorant terminology like 'Potterites' now and again. Swings and roundabouts...

Reviews of game adaptations of blockbuster movies are full of self-righteous bile, forever ruing the fact that game companies evidently see it as an opportunity to make megalithic mountains of cash, as opposed to, you know, actually making a decent game along the way. As promising as the preview showings suggested, we couldn't help but feel that King Kong would suffer the same fate. Michel Ancel or not, there are a million unique ways to screw these things up. We should know: we've seen every single one over the past 25 years.

Not all students are workshy layabouts, you know - it's just the ones doing arts degrees. But even they sometimes find time in their busy schedules of trying to get on You Say We Pay to do a bit of work now and again, as six students at the Royal College of Art have proved.

As I check the time on my mobile phone before I start writing, I notice that it’s 11:11. Normally, seeing this time reminds me what a complete idiot Uri Geller is, but today, having spent the last few days playing the console Call of Duty sequel, it makes me think about... well, nothing really. A good way to start the review?

Rare has revealed that it took a big risk with Perfect Dark Zero just so that we could all be sure of playing it on Xbox 360 launch day.
