Codemasters' let us know that the “demo” that is being circulated online for Codemasters’ TOCA Race Driver should be taken as unofficial. Very early demo code produced several months ago for US long lead-time magazine usage, the code was not intended for distribution online. The code is not representative of the current status of the game, nor should be taken as an example of the finished title, which will be released in September. It has only experimental car physics, basic AI, the car damage is an early test model and it will not run on a wide range of machines, as it is not optimised code.

Blizzard confirmed last night that the
Pandaren Race story was an April Fool's 'joke'. Indeed, for Blizzard, a race of Panda-men seems rather sensible. "It was indeed a joke," claims Beau Yarbrough (which may also be a joke name; we're not sure). "I'm afraid we have a rather dry sense of humor here, and I apologize if it didn't scan as us being silly." Of course, given April Fool tradition, making any kind of joke after midday on April 1 means that the joke is on the joke-maker, so nah nah nah-nah nah!

LucasArts has released the
official PS2 trailer "5.6 Mb" for Star Wars Racer Revenge and the good news is that it looks as if we're in for a visceral combination of high danger and brutal Pod-bound violence packed with special effects. Much of the game's content is revealed here, including an interesting glimpse at some extremely varied tracks, a lot of interaction between Pods and a very brief look at the oddly monikered (not to mention bizarre-looking) pilots that you'll soon be able to get to grips with. The game's not due until the second quarter of this year, but this is definitely a worthwhile download to get your appetite fully whetted.
