One of the main aspects of Zen Studios’ upcoming Planet MiniGolf is the ability to build and customize entire golf courses. The latest trailer showcases the create feature and how easy it is to create a variety of holes, complete with obstacles and power-ups.
Charles Cecil, the MD of Revolution Software (the UK developer behind Broken Sword and Beneath a Steel Sky), has been speaking about downloadable platforms such as the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Of course, there will be some fresh faces as well…
There’s no doubt SOCOM 4 was announced to a mixed reception – but the revelation that it would come with Move support has certainly grabbed people’s attention.
