According to a news blurb over at Well Rounded Entertainment, Fox Interactive's upcoming action/adventure game, Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be delayed until at least the first quarter of 2001.

New today on EuroGamer is our review of Take 2's action adventure game, Martian Gothic : Unification. A kind of Resident Evil with brains set on Mars, Martian Gothic certainly looked promising when we previewed the game a few weeks ago. Now we have a final boxed copy of the game, can it live up to its promise? Read our review to find out!

Thanks to event organisers ClanBase and their partners GamePoint and the unfortunately named NOB Interactive for making it all possible!

August 6th, 1996 - NASA hold a press conference. An announcement is made that a meteorite discovered in Antarctica, originating from Mars, contains possible microfossil bacteria .. primitive life. A surveyor flight visits Mars in 2005. It returns with evidence that microorganisms may have existed a million years before. But nothing conclusive.

We've got a real treat for you today, in the form of an exclusive review of Evolva, the gorgeous looking third person squad action game from British developer Computer Artworks, which is due for release in the UK tomorrow.

Until recently, British company Computer Artworks was known for developing evolutionary art programs rather than games.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the biggest show of its kind in the world, giving companies that develop and sell electronic equipment and games the opportunity to show their wares off in public. Not only does the world's press attend the event, but with the advent of the Internet, the hundreds of thousands of gamers around the world can catch up on the action as it happens, and discover the ins and outs of a previously inaccessible media event. Currently the ConsoleGamer staff budget doesn't stretch to overseas airfares, so our editorial team has remained firmly grounded here in the UK. But naturally, our enthusiasm for such events prohibited us from just sitting on our haunches during this exciting time, so we've scraped together all the information we could on what will be on offer and have set it into various categories for your perusal. You can find out who's demo'ing what at the event and check out our mammoth collection of links to event coverage elsewhere. So, if you can't be at the event like us, enjoy it anyway, and check back regularly for updates!

I spotted over at VE that Avault have posted some information (straight from E3) on EA's upcoming Quake III engine powered action/adventure game, American McGee's Alice. They even got three brand new shots from this game which is slated for a Quarter 3 2000 release.

Today's preview here on EuroGamer is a little different from usual, as the game we are previewing has already been released in a "Gold Edition"... So why are we previewing it? Because thanks to the wonders of modern technology (and a handy util called Static), Aliens vs Predator is being given a new lease of life with vastly improved multiplayer support.

In throwing myself into Aliens vs Predator skirmish and single player, the online AvP fix I craved still eluded me .. until now.

Randy Pitchford of Gearbox Software mentions in his latest .plan update that they will be showing Half-Life: Opposing Force CTF at E3. So if you're interested in taking a peek at (and maybe even play) the soon-to-be-released icial Gearbox Capture The Flag before anyone else on the planet then go to the Half-Life display at the Sierra / Havas booth.

I spotted on Blues that Chris Taylor and Sarah Boulian from Gas-Powered Games replied to a few posts on the Gamer's Lounge Forums regarding their upcoming RPG, Dungeon Siege. In the first post (second from top) Chris describes the magic system in Dungeon Siege which seems very cool and in the second post (fourth from top) Sarah responds to the inevitable question "When will the game be released?".

I saw on the Shack that Valve Sector have posted an article filled with in depth information about Valve Software's upcoming game, Team Fortress 2. This article contains information about some of the weapons in the game, armor and a bunch of other very interesting things, remember that all things mentioned in this article are subject to change during development of the product itself.

Griff from Challenge EU has posted a preview of the EuroCup Quake 3 clan tournament, the finals of which are taking place in Holland this weekend. I'll be there bringing you full coverage of the event for EuroGamer, so keep 'em peeled!

Southpeak sent word that Catherine Bach, the actress who played Daisy Duke in the cult (in other words, bad) 80's TV series "Dukes of Hazzard", will be at their stand at E3 tomorrow helping to promote their new game "Dukes of Hazzard : Racing For Home".

Yes, it's here - the eagerly awaited map pack for Unreal Tournament by Epic's French Connection, level designer Cedric "Inoxx" Fiorentino. Grab it from your favourite outlet -

First person shooters are arguably the most popular genre in gaming these days. But fans of portable gaming have been left behind when it comes to FPS in your pocket. Until now. After over 12 months hard labour, James McCombe has finally released Dreadling - the first ever FPS game for a handheld. But those of you with GameBoys will have to wait for T-Rex later in the year, and NGPC fans miss out all together, because Dreadling only runs on Palm. Yes, the pocket organiser. And it's really rather good. To find out more, read PocketGamer.net's review of the shareware code.

New today on EuroGamer is our review of Fireteam, the multiplayer isometric squad action game from French publisher Cryo. It might not be as graphically intense or as well known as Starsiege Tribes or Unreal Tournament, but is it still worth your francs? Read our review to find out more!
