Now  that I’ve recovered from whatever I got down in London, I can finally look at the screen without getting the urge to proclaim that the light burns. Nor do I hack a hernia-inducing hurricane when I’m trying to sleep. Now you’ve got that thought in your head, let me say that it was good.

Nay, it was great.

That’s right folks. We’re big enough to warrant a presence at EUROGAMER EXPO 2008! Only we’ll be covering it, not actually being part of it. We’ll be checking out all the games that are touted for release up until about April next year, so it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on us. Plus, we’re press rather than public, so we’ll have the good news where other sites won’t.

So, catch us down in London on the 29th (Next Wednesday), down at the Old Truman Brewery. Visit http://expo.eurogamer.net to get the few remaining tickets, and come down to say hello. Or laugh at how bad I am at HAWX. Or how bad Dave is at EndWar because his accent is unrecognisable.

Update: I have decided to attend the event as Agent 47.  I have also convinced Dave that he too should dress up as agent 47. So, if you want to put faces to names and voices then look out for us at the event. We are still trying to persuade Allan to dress up as Lara Croft, but he swears that his legs won’t be waxy-smooth in time. Pah! Excuses, excuses.

Update from Author: I think you can well and truly stick that where the sun don’t shine, my friend.

As part of HMV’s initiative to expand further into the gaming market, they are offering an exclusive deal where if you preorder Far Cry 2 with them (due out this Friday), you get 4 exclusive missions for free with it. These missions promise to set the scene for Far Cry 2 and act as a prologue to the game, giving you some extra background information on the scenario in which you will play.

It is to be assumed that the game will come with an unlock code which you can enter on Xbox Live, PSN store or whatever they’re planning for the PC. The missions will presumably be available as DLC further down the line.

This is a UK exclusive for HMV so you won’t get it anywhere else. We do not know whether this is being offered in other territories, but keep an eye out.

Details on the individual missions over the break…

Yep, Video Friday is now Video Thursday. Because Thursday just says “moving images” more than Friday, which says “new games, where can I buy ‘em?!”

First up is another video of the Far Cry 2 editor, in a sort of ‘versus LittleBigPlanet’ remix. If the level editor’s anywhere near as powerful as implied in this video, FC2 could be on to a real winner.
