There's a recurring theme in this Weekly Update - the balance board. My Health Coach: Quit Smoking with Allan Carr doesn't use it, but everything else featured in this episode does.

The games featured are Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party - a contender for most annoying name ever - Shaun White Snowboarding on the Wii and Skate It, the Wii version of the fantastic skateboarding game.

Can you think of a worse name for a video game? Typically games in episodes have pretty bad titles - we're looking at you, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective.

Rockstar sent word to let us know that the Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360 Exclusive DLC is coming in February 2009.

The DLC will be titled The Lost and The Damned and will include new missions, multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles and a new "diverse soundtrack". Hopefully DJ Green Lantern gets another round.

Sam Houser, Grand Poobah of Rockstar said,

Making these episodes has enabled us to expand the narrative and the experience of interacting with a game world in really innovative ways. We hope fans of the game enjoy the new way of experiencing life in Liberty City contained in this first episode.

We're looking forward to seeing what this DLC has to offer, though this news is a blow for punters who picked the game up on the PlayStation 3. Meanwhile the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV is coming out on December 3 and we've got some new trailers in our library to scope out.

Mirror's Edge certainly had us hyped - the combination of a dystopian world, parkour and the first person perspective had us chomping at the bit to play DICE's newest game.

Unfortunately sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to. Mirror's Edge is a shining example of that - as we explain,

Unfortunately, the sense of immersion created by the first person view, the bouncing camera and the fantastic use of sound and music is dashed every time Faith (the main character) clips through one of the objects you're reaching for and plummets to her death. It happens so regularly that eventually plummeting to your death for no reason will be something you come to accept - an average day at the free-running office.

Read the full review in our reviews database now - and if you think we're completely wrong feel free to let us know below!

We also have the new Mirror's Edge PC trailer which - if nothing else - looks awesome. Watch that in our videos library now.

Where have you heard this before?

Console manufacturer suggests moves are being made towards supporting communitisation on their platform, and claims third party publishers haven't really come to terms with their console yet?

If you answered: "from every console manufacturer at some point or another", you're right.

If you answered "from every console manufacturer at some point or another, especially Nintendo, you'd be even more right...

Andy's got his voice back and we're rocking his special eGames Expo 2008 feature - he scopes out everything the event had to offer, from the new titles being shown off to the Cosplay competitions - Andy's all over it.

Watch the video now - if you attended see if Andy caught you doing your thing (and pray you're not those guys singing Eye of the Tiger). What did you think of eGames 2008 if you went along?

The Championship Gaming Series shut its doors earlier today, the league's official website announced.

The American based pro-gaming league ended today after two seasons of gaming, claiming the idea was ahead of its time "in the esports space" and that the idea was would take too long to become profitable.

Australia had its own CGS team, the Sydney Underground. We're attempting to contact them now to see what they think of the developments - we'll let you know their comments when we do.

What do you think this will do to competitive gaming? The structure for the series came under a lot of fire for its game choices (Counterstrike Source, Dead or Alive 4, FIFA 08 and Forza 2 the game choices) and the league's structure, and it was never actually televised in Australia - do you think it's a great loss?

There's a bit of a fighting game renaissance underway at present. There's a great new Soulcalibur game out, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD remix is poised to tax some of your (pick your in-game currency), Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is shaping up into something quite decent, and hello: Street Fighter IV early next year. It seemed like a good time to reflect on exactly what it is that makes fighting games great...

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is a pretty cool outfit. They take hot celebrities and get them to strip for expensive ads. They also get a bit angry about how animals are treated as well, and are considered the largest animal rights group in the world.

According to Wikipedia, PETA's slogan is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment", which begs the question: what's their point? Anyway, PETA has lined up the videogame industry in their sights this Thanksgiving (=eating turkey in the USA) season with an aim of slamming one title in particular. Is it one of those boring deer shooting games? One of those Big Game Hunter titles that seem to sell a tonne? Hell no - they're going after... Cooking Mama.

PETA has made a flash game in Cooking Mama style that is going after one of their corporate targets - click the full story to have a crack.

The Killer's new album is heading - in part - to Guitar Hero World Tour for a same day release in music stores and in-game. The new album Day & Age hits on November 25, and two tracks - "Human," "Losing Touch - plus "Mr Brightside" will be available in a track pack for $9.95 or $3.45 separately.

The Killers are a pretty good pick for Guitar Hero World Tour - they're a band with something to offer every player without leaving anyone in the dark.

Have you picked up Guitar Hero World Tour yet? Have you noticed any issues with the drums? We had some initial problems with the sensitivity - issues that quickly went away with a new set of cymbals - and we've heard varying reports about the quality of the drums - some very good, some very bad. How have you gone?

If you're one of those lucky people who "works" from home (Kreese) and you're not currently addicted to World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (not Kreese) and you like zombies (e v e r y o n e) you should be aware that the Steam version of Left 4 Dead is out today.

If you are working from home today make sure your midday nap ends before the following times (depending on your location).

NSW, VIC, TAS - 4:00pm
QLD - 3:00pm
SA, NT - 2:30pm
WA - 1:00pm

We're keen on checking out the versus mode - and of course seeing what the rest of the game has to offer. Make sure you add Joaby on Steam if you feel like jumping in a server with a person who will shoot every single car alarm. Start preloading now - and check out the new trailer in our videos library.

Update - Daylight Savings works the other way, apparently. Times edited!
