Bizarre Creations has very kindly told us what to expect from the Project Gotham Racing 4 Xbox Live demo - just as soon as it comes out of certification and lands on your Internet face.

The demo will consists of five vehicles (made up of cars and bikes), with a demo-only Arcade mode chapter set in Macau. This will consist of new challenges that have been custom-built for the demo.

Not content with that, they are throwing in a Nurburgring Snow Time Challenge - so you'll be able to see just how pretty the track (rebuilt for PGR4) looks when it's blanketed in snow. The snowy Time Attack also includes full leaderboard support.

The full game, for which our final-build hands-on will go live oh-so-shortly, splits single-player gameplay between Arcade (128 medals from Steel up to Platinum) and Career (difficulty pre-set by user, then a season of races and events).

And of course it has lots of Internet play, with a greater focus on Friends-based leaderboards and tournaments that are suitable for players of all skills, rather than the "best in the world or nowt" mentality of old.

Sounds rather good, no? We'll let you know when it's up there.

PGR4 is due out exclusively on 360 on 12th October

SEGA has just released another of their environment movies which this time features the sandy canyons. The road surfaces will be somewhat different here compared to the alpine environment and should mean gamers will need to adapt their driving style to suit.

SEGA Rally Revo is the new benchmark in next-gen off-road racing, turning every lap into a new experience. Experience truly deformable tracks for the first time, using proprietary GeoDeformation™ technology. Bumper-to-bumper races in single-player and multiplayer modes on a constantly changing track surface, using fully customizable licensed cars. The genre-defining SEGA Rally arcade brand sets a new off-road racing benchmark with SEGA Rally Revo, made possible by the processing power of next-generation platforms.

Key Features:

GeoDeformation – a unique feature which dynamically changes the course during each lap with revolutionary surface & environment deformation.

Vehicles – over 30 in total across 4WD, 2WD, Classic and Bonus types, most with three variants each (Road, Rally & All Terrain).

Environments – wide range of hyper-realistic next-generation deformable environments including Safari, Artic, Canyon and Lakeside.

Tracks – a range of off-road and on-road tracks, with a variety of surface types and creative track designs.

Multiplayer – speedy online and offline multiplayer modes for up to six people.

Action-Oriented Arcade Heritage – in contrast to other simulation-themed rally racers, SEGA Rally Revo features action-oriented next-gen arcade racing unlike any other game.

It folds up like an ironing board, apparently.

If you've already bagged a sword and shield for your Nintendo Wii, snapped up a waterproof case for your Sony PlayStation Portable and are now able to entertain yourself on-the-go with a Microsoft Xbox 360, you might be close to thinking that all your gaming needs have been satisfied. Not so, says PlaySeat, not unless you've purchased its latest revolution in gaming – yep, an expensive place to plant your buns.

The PlaySeat Evolution has just been released in the United Kingdom and promises to offer a "whole new dimension and simulation to the experience of racing games." It’s even sponsored by the Dutch A1 racing team and has been given the official once over by their professional drivers, don’t you know?

Despite the fancy name and official endorsement, the PlaySeat Evolution is pretty much a chunky chair that you can plonk in front of your gaming machine of choice in an attempt to enhance your experience of the latest racing titles. It is compatible with the PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, PC and Wii, although you'll have to buy a steering wheel separately. And priced at £229 (approximately $480 USD), GamerSquad can't imagine the average gamer will be gleefully handing over their debit card details any time soon.

"It's the best car game accessory ever made, even I can use it for training and it really gives you a feeling of actually being in the car," beamed Henning Solberg of the Ford Rally team.

He obviously hasn't seen THIS yet.

The PlaySeat Evolution - the best racing accessory ever?
