It means you all can enjoy MotorStorm Pacific Rift and we can all go on holiday. Except by this point, the UK is accelerating into winter in typical rainy, cold fashion. So it’s the Southern Hemisphere for the sun worshippers amongst the team, and a catching-up on a big pile of games in a darkened room for us redheads that find the sun overrated.

Once were all rested its back to the development bunker to finish off the DLC we have lined up for you guys in the coming months. We’ve got a pile of stuff waiting in the wings, and, you’ll be glad to know, a lot of it is free. We’re going to try and give you something new to play with every week, and we’ve also got some major packs in development that should be on the store after Christmas.

In the meantime, get those Time Trial lap times up on the leaderboards (you’re lucky as I’ve put a moratorium on our QA guys posting up there for two weeks, to let you guys get good at it), have a laugh with split screen, and enjoy this next bout of brutal off-road racing.

Laters!

With Wii Fit arriving over here sometime before the summer and the arms of the nation still aching a bit from all the tennis, we now have a way to keep in shape when away from the Wii - thanks to Ubisoft’s My Weight Loss Coach for DS.

Here’s what Ubisoft’s senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key had to say about it:

“My Weight Loss Coach allows us to approach casual gamers with something innovative. The game creates customized coaching sessions based on skill level, and, for the first time on DS, includes a pedometer. My Weight Loss Coach not only allows users to take control of their physical well-being, but it does so in a fun and engaging manner.”

It’s a rather unnecessary development, to be honest. There’s only one diet that really works. The Don’t Eat So Many Chips And Curries Plan. Do we really need to be lectured about eating soya beans on the train to work every day?
