A fleeting glimpse of the upcoming remake of that ZX Spectrum classic Jetpac currently being completed by RARE. I remember many moons ago listening to those whining and bleeping noises emanate from my tape deck as the interminable twenty minutes passed by loading this into my ZX Spectrum 48k. I wonder if time will have been kind to this much played title? RARE have reproduced both the original version and a new luxury Xbox 360 version so either way if nostalgia doen't win it perhaps the new graphics will?

With the PSP and PS2 versions of SBK: Superbike World Championship still on schedule for their end of April release, Eurogamer has reported that the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game will be available in October.

Black Bean Games spokesperson Livio Cantagallo told Eurogamer, however, that the demo will be ready "near the end of the summer." At least fans will get something to pass the time with while they're waiting for the official releases. There has also been no confirmation yet regarding the rumored PS3 version. According to Cantagallo, "We are going to think about a PS3 version, because we are just moving onto the next-generation consoles, starting with the Xbox 360 as it's similar to the PC."

The game, created by Italian developer Milestone, will feature TV-like authenticity when replicating racers, tracks, bikes, multiplayer support is expected in the PC and 360 versions, and will feature Quick Race, Race Weekend, Championship and Challenge modes to keep you entertained.
