Videogames. Board games. Tables. Just three of our favourite things. But if only there was a way to combine them all into the same object...

Rise of Legends isn't the safe option for Big Huge Games. The predictable thing would have been to glue a "2" to the end of the original game's title and return to the scene of a previous real-time strategy triumph - to reaffirm brand qualities, or whatever marketing speak's popular in corporate boardrooms this week. But to their credit, Big Huge Games said screw that for a game of real-time soldiers and did something a little different.

Capcom has unveiled a new special edition version of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - but the bad news is that it's only down for a US release so far.

It's been nearly two years since Infinium Labs announced the forthcoming release of its Phantom games-on-demand service - and despite promises of a Christmas 2004 launch, it's still nowhere to be seen.

Epic Games' Mark Rein has settled any lingering doubt about Unreal Tournament 2007's relationship with the PlayStation 3 launch, arguing that since nobody knows when the console will launch and Epic can't predict when UT2007 will be finished, the entire point is rather moot.

One thing you might not know about my PE days (that's Pre-Eurogamer, as opposed to physical education, just to stave off any potential lawsuits/general confusion) was my pretensions to be a guitar hero. Ok, fair enough, Macbreth never made the cover of NME, but our manager (aka my dad) did once get savaged by John Peel's hounds and told to 'piss off' when he turned up at the late DJ-legend's Suffolk farmhouse one cold day in 1992. Frankly, his valiant efforts to get our EP played were good enough for me. I was always a bass man myself, but that was only because all my mates had been playing lead or rhythm since they were about ten. I wasn't bitter or anything. Ok, maybe just a little miffed that I was arguably in the least sexy position in our indiepop band of champions, but it was still great to chunga-chunga through the set and pogo around during end of our set stomper 'Take Me Up'.

It says "Peter Jackson's" on the front of the box, but for a lot of gamers it was the involvement of Michel Ancel that gave Ubisoft's King Kong film adaptation its credibility. Ancel's Rayman games are sometimes derided, but with the release of his original action-adventure title Beyond Good & Evil, a game often pegged as a "grown-up Zelda" (arguably a comparison that's slightly unfair to both camps), interest in the French developer increased dramatically.

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has announced that he's hoping to following up MGS3: Subsistence, which features secondary online modes, with a game that will properly take the series online for the first time.

It's a source of great pride for me that I can get through an entire festive period without having my doorstep - let alone the inside of my house - polluted by the presence of other people. If the revolution comes tomorrow, and all of London is a blizzard of flying bricks, people will know who they can turn to for shelter: everyone else. I like people outside. I just don't want them in here.
