To be bundled with Resident Evil Outbreak File #2.

Plus, we have new shots and footage of Sony Japan's Saru EyeToy, the Ape Escape themed one, which looks rather messed up in the head.

Bikes, apparently. Could've been several things, really.

Hideo Kojima will be on hand at the German Games Convention this August, and Konami will debut Metal Gear Solid 3, Pro Evolution Soccer 4 and others.

(This week's European releases.) Not a whole hell of a lot, although when does that ever stop us?

What? Against walls, obviously. Witness John Vattic taking out his frustrations on crates, too, as he gets to grips with his latent psychic powers.

The war's different, but the tactics are the same.

Rockstar won’t talk to nobody, fool. You can’t see Rockstar. Until now. Eazily Dan approach, the microphone because he ain’t no joke…

Return of the Mach.

We go hands on with the concluding chapter in Naughty Dog's trilogy, and chat to game directors Evan Wells and Amy Hennig about what comes next, how the game fits in with previous instalments, and the speed with which it's all come together.

Rockstar North’s art director, Aaron Garbut, gives the rarest of interviews on the look of the biggest game of all time. Pray silence, for the man in charge of the San Andreas style.

Big games on the way
