Race Driver: Create & Race looks and plays really well, but what are particularly interesting are its many customisation options, including a touch-screen course editor.
We expected a simple tool to give you about as much artistic freedom as Rolf Harris in a straight jacket, but it's actually incredibly flexible. You put together a course first, which can have hills, dips, and cross-over sections using either template course pieces or drawing freely on the touch screen.

Polish developer Nibris has announced Raid Over the River for DS, a vertical shoot-'em-up that's got a fair few ambitions up its sleeve.
Taking in a total of 10 stages, it's a journey through several eras of air combat - past, present and future - that sees a pilot attempting to foil the plans of an evil sect. The story stretches over some 3,000 years and straddles six dimensions, each one related to Earth, and features time travel that results in a non-linear game
Whoa there, sit down, classic Atari fanboy - developer Nibris' new vertically scrolling shooter Raid Over the River DS bears no relation to the legendary Activision game River Raid. It does, however, involve a storyline that reaches across 3,000 years, six dimensions and an armada of alien ships begging to be blown away.
Crazy plot or no, we're rabid fans of strong-armed shoot 'em ups, so seeing a new one land on the DS is enough to get us excited. But sadly, it's still unknown exactly what'll

It's been barely a day since we reported the first details on Nibris' Raid Over the River and now a handful of screenshots have popped up. You can raid the shots for yourself by clicking the images tab at the top of this page.
Raid Over the River is a vertical-scrolling shooter that features six stages from different time zones, each with multiple missions and its own attack craft - ancient Greece, WWII Europe, Cold War Soviet Russia, the present-day United States,
It's perfectly fine to rip off other people's ideas in videogames. Just change the game name and no-one will care. That's the lesson to be learned here as Rapid Racoon turns up on DS wearing a WipEout disguise.
As you can see, that game has you racing around similarly rollercoaster-like courses in similarly hovering anti-gravity ships in a similarly futuristic setting. It will have a similar weapon pick-up system that give you mines, missiles, magnets, bombs, speed boosts and other similar

We were quite surprised when we opened the press screenshots of new DS racing game Rapid Racoon. On hearing the name and learning it was due to release on DS in February next year, we had images of a Racoon in a canoe in our heads. Sadly that wasn't to be. What we've got, however, appears to be a game that's essentially WipEout with a different name. Life's full of surprises, isn't it?
The game features futuristic hovercraft racing through futuristic industrial, forest and
A videogame version of Ratatouille, Pixar Animation's latest project about a French rat who really wants to be a great chef, will be launched on just about every gaming platform you can think of next summer.
In case you can't think of that many platforms, here's the list: PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, GameCube, PC, DS and PSP. Mon dieu.
As the Parisian rodent, Remy, you'll be skittering through a bunch of minigames and cookery challenges themed around what publisher THQ promises are "the film's
Rats aren't very cute, but neither are bugs, monsters and hillbilly pickup trucks. But somehow Pixar has been able to take those characters and make some pretty great movies. Whether or not the videogame tie-in for Pixar's next animated film, Ratatouille, can borrow that mojo and make a game that appeals to everyone remains to be seen, but now we've got a trailer to give you a better idea of what to expect.
Our recent look describes the platformer as borrowing "everything from Super Monkey
Three things would survive the wanton destruction of a nuclear holocaust: cockroaches, bacteria and Rayman. That's right, he's coming back. Age cannot wither him and mass indifference does not bother him because Ubi Soft have announced that the floppy-eared furry fool will return next year, with stylus and wireless play for Nintendo DS in tow.But the limbless wonder is just one of the three games that the Gallic giant plans to pump out when DS appears over here.

We know all you have on your minds today focuses on Warfare that's Modern,
but if you get tired of World War III and need colorful cartoon people to unwind,
tomorrow you’ll get an early taste of next week’s release of Rayman Origins.
Maybe you’ve seen gameplay from it before, but were confused about the game’s
story, so today’s launch trailer for Origins makes things a little clearer.
Though we’re less clear on why this launch trailer was released a week before
the actual launch…
