The end is in sight. It's very visible actually, clambering over us like a poppered-up celebrity chef in the throes of alleged infidelity. To be fair, there are still one or two interesting releases destined for 28th November, like Resistance 2 and, er... Well, we did say one or two.

But in general that's it. There's Prince of Persia and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon waiting for a go next week, but otherwise everyone's gone to sleep for two months.

Not us though. There's still games to review, like Sonic Unleashed (do you think this ends well? Do you?) and there's Chrono Trigger for the DS to look at on import. It's going to be a bit of a fight between new Fire Emblem and old Square at Christmas, at least for our cartridge slot.

Meanwhile, the PS3 Wireless Bluetooth Keypad allegedly goes on sale tomorrow as well. We had hoped to bring you our impressions of it beforehand, but sadly the pre-production one Sony sent over last weekend didn't work, so all we can tell you is that it has a sturdy clip, looks a bit like a Terminator stingray and has microswitched buttons.

Hopefully we'll be able to elaborate on that soon. In the meantime, give up.
