Oh, it's been a cranky few days in PC gaming land.

The big news this week is from Infinity Ward, developers of the upcoming and long awaited Modern Warfare 2. It seems that the PC version of the game will be lacking both dedicated servers and modding functionality... and it's got the gaming world in a storm - read our story, and the 50-plus comments, to see what it's all about.

In happier gaming news, we've also got an exclusive chat with Blizzard developers about the upcoming Cataclysm Warcraft expansion. If you're an MMO fan, cheer yourself up with that one.

We've also gone off the movies to catch Terry Gilliam's latest, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. It's... an odd film. Read our review to find out why.

And, finally, get some RTS loving with our Engine Room feature on R.U.S.E., the next big WW2 strategy game.

And don't forget, all the other great news and reviews. Bye!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
