The Dar-For-The-Win-ia chaps at Introversion have released a brand new demo of Darwinia, one of the most interesting PC games we've played since, er, their other one, Uplink. And, brilliantly, it's an entirely new scenario not included in the full game, so you'll want to check it out even if you already own the game.

Rockstar plans to release a Grand Theft Auto Trilogy pack for Xbox and a Special Edition of San Andreas for PS2 featuring a video DVD in the run-up to Christmas. So that's the GTA Threesome and the GTA Big Disc Edition for those living in a parallel universe where Jack Thompson hasn't been invented.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment has clarified comments made by CEO Howard Stringer recently regarding a spring launch for PS3.

Combat flight simulation developers have never needed much encouragement to go rummaging in the dusty steamer trunk of History; the same, however, can't be said of racing sim creators. In the last ten years how many of the 70-odd PC motorsport recreations released have looked to the past for inspiration? Three? Four maybe? You could understand the drought if the cars of yore were characterless and the races they participated in were tedious parades. When that accusation actually describes the racing of today far better than it describes the contests of yesteryear you really have to wonder why devs have been so reluctant to time travel.

A flying car zooms through a canyon, hot on the heels of another. Twin machineguns pop out of its bonnet and start spraying lead. Hurrah! Flying vehicular combat - we've done that. Aha, buuuut, it's not shooting the other guy; it's shooting the wall up ahead of him; and as the bullets cut across the surface they loosen a selection of rocks which fall just in time to smash the other guy to the ground and leave him stunned. A couple of seconds he's up again, and the chase resumes.

Creative Assembly's headquarters nestle in bosom of Mother England's green and pleasant land. It's an unassuming building to have to been the home of the genesis of some of the greatest PC Strategy games of all time. However, Eurogamer's visit here isn't to talk about that. It's about something quite different: Spartan: Total Warrior.

With just a few weeks to go until The Warriors is released on PS2 and Xbox, Rockstar has released some more details of what we can expect from your actual gameplay.

Square-Enix has confirmed to Eurogamer that forthcoming PS2 sequel Dragon Quest 8: Journey of the Cursed King will come bundled with a Final Fantasy XII demo over in the States - and hinted that we might get it, too.

A new interview with the development team behind Perfect Dark Zero, Rare's forthcoming Xbox 360 title, has appeared on Xbox.com.

Strange as it may seem, it has taken Sony over a year to get around to releasing this 'new' version of Everybody's Golf. But if that seems tardy, then consider this: the third version never made it out here at all, meaning PAL gamers have been forced to endure a wait of over five years since the last game in the series was released on the PSone.

Nintendo has announced plans to celebrate the launch of Nintendogs by knocking a tenner off the price of the Nintendo DS.

For a very long time, it was PlayStation Importable. Then, £179.99 and September 1st later, we realised it was PlayStation Portable instead - as the release schedule groaned under the weight of games we already owned and stuff we expected to buy on other formats. We want new games. What's the point of spending all that money if we're just being taxed for the option of taking our normal console toys out of the house?

Electronic Arts is teaming up with FIFA and Xbox once again to bring you the second FIFA Interactive World Cup.

Many dismissed the concept of a PlayStation 2 port of Resident Evil 4 as a pointless waste of effort; an embarrassment waiting to happen. Whether these premature opinions were borne of partisan conclusion-jumping or valid technical concerns, it's not entirely clear, but few expected Capcom to be able to bring its much-admired GameCube masterpiece to the PS2 without some hefty compromises. Surely the creaking architecture of the veteran Sony machine would be unable to cope with the lavish demands of Capcom's survival-horror epic and PS2 owners would be left with nothing but a pale facsimile of the glorious Cube original? And wouldn't the rush to convert the game to a machine it wasn't designed for merely amplify the PS2's shortfalls? Apparently not.

Following the emergence of "leaked" screenshots purporting to be from the first PS3 GTA game - complete with all manner of naked bits and naughty business - Rockstar has issued Eurogamer with a fervent denial that the pics are anything to do with them.

The folks over at Rockstar Games are taking time out from their busy schedule of developing Grand Theft Auto titles and upsetting Miami-based lawyers to produce a brand new documentary film.

Sony chairman and CEO Sir Howard Stringer has confirmed that the company plans to launch PlayStation 3 in the spring of next year, according to German website Gamefront.

Visitors to the EB Games online store can no longer pre-order Microsoft's next generation console, as the company announces it has sold out of all allocated pre-order stock.

Three phrases guaranteed to chill the marrow of the journeyman games reviewer: 'It's a lot like Falcon 4.0 apparently', 'It's Derek Smart's latest space simulation' and 'Gary Grigsby had a hand in this'. GG's past output - hardcore wargames like War In Russia and Uncommon Valour - are some of the most complicated, labour-intensive PC strategy games ever inflicted on the gaming public. With that in mind, World at War is rather a pleasant surprise.

Vivendi has announced that a new expansion pack for PC shooter SWAT 4 is currently in development, releasing some screenshots into the bargain.

Rising Star Games has announced that PSP shooter Space Invaders Evolution is hitting European shelves this November.

New details have emerged of Animal Crossing: Wild World, the DS version of the hit Gamecube and N64 title that sees you taking of the role of a cute animal, living in a cute town and doing cute things.

Ubisoft has released a playable demo of Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood, now available for download from the game's website.

Winning Eleven's a bit like Michael Owen - a demon on home soil, but kind of enigmatic when it goes abroad. On PS2 it's heavenly (in spite of the demonism, obviously); on Xbox and PC it's been a bit oversold (the multiplayer implementation, in particular, hasn't lived up to its billing). On PSP? Well, Konami must be on the phone to the bank manager ordering a larger vault, but from our perspective? Like we said - enigmatic.

As part of our ongoing series of discussions with NetDevil, creators of massively-multiplayer vehicular-combat game Auto Assault, we talk to president Scott Brown about the endgame and beyond, the lessons learned from other MMOs, and what the development team will be doing once they've finished working on the game. Auto Assault is due out in Europe and the USA simultaneously in spring 2006. You can read more about it by glancing at our recent preview.
