Watching this video, you be forgiven for thinking that finally your grandmother will be able to record a TV programme! People have struggled with video recorder instructions for years, but there really couldn't be anything simpler than this.

Take a look for yourself.

Courtesy of a lack of clarification either on our part or on the part of Touchstone, we ended up with a sizeable amount of egg on our faces yesterday when we stated that the Turok demo wasn't coming until February. It still isn't, if you don't have a US account that is.

So whilst European PS Stores lack a Turok demo, it did appear yesterday for our friends in the US.

Turok is due to be launched on 8th February in the UK and elsewhere. On Tuesday this week a single-player demo arrived on Xbox Live. A number of people were clearly expecting the same demo to arrive on the PS Store today.

The news is that you'll have to wait until launch week to 'get your dino on' if you're a PS3 owner. Touchstone have confirmed to PS3 Attitude that the Turok demo won't arrive until the 7th, one day before launch.

Whilst Turok is another FPS in a PS3-world full of FPS titles, it does have its differentiators. I mean, where else can you get to shoot both human and dinosaur enemies in one game?

Of course, that's if you go around shooting enemies. The game has recently courted a mild amount of controversy for delivering a 'reward' (named Grab Bag) for shooting teammates. The developers are ready for any issues though - they have a patch available to disable the achievement should it kick up a real fuss after release.

We'll have more on Turok as we get closer to the release of both the game and the demo.

[UPDATE] It appears that Touchstone's UK office gave us information for the EU PlayStation Store update only, and it looks like we got our wires crossed since the demo arrived in the US today.To clarify, then, Turok will not appear on the EU PSN until February 7th.

The Frag Dolls have just put up a video where Jam gets to speak with Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software.

The video was made during his Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway press visit to London. He discusses amongst other things how they got the best out of the Unreal Engine, and why Hell’s Highway is much like The Empire Strikes Back!

You can watch the video at the Frag Dolls' site by clicking the link above.

Looking much better than we frankly imagined it would, The Agency has now grabbed a decent slice of our attention.

Our friends at PS3 Fanboy have posted a great behind-the-scenes video and we suggest you check it out. Once you get past the out-and-out shooting aspect, The Agency promises some really interesting and fun gameplay. Even Q*Bert could be important to your progress!

Insomniac are on a short break at the moment and are due to hit us all with an announcement about their next title on Thursday 17th.

So how is it that everyone already knows what is going to be announced!?

I can only assume that the Resistance themselves got to Insomniac and made them talk.

With every man and his dog giving out details of Resistance 2 it was no surprise that ThreeSpeech put out a post about the forthcoming sequel. Here's their rundown of the new features Resistance 2 sports:

A huge co-op component featuring eight player story-driven campaigns over PSN
(two player local) alongside single-player campaigns.

Sixty player competitive modes with a focus on squad-versus-squad combat set in huge United States landscapes.

New enemies including Chameleon and Stalker with total cloaking ability

Multiplayer class system. Three basic templates - tank with heavy weaponry, special ops for distance (bullseye modified with zoom) and medic.

Online matching - standard difficulty discarded for scaled challenges for team skill.

Partially randomised geometry making levels different with each play through.

Insomniac have been listening to players complaints about the first game and are also further tapping the power of the PS3 to give more enemies onscreen and improved AI. They are also working on a solution to the long checkpoints and health system.

The 'partially randomised geometry' is an interesting one. I know FPS fans like to learn every nook and cranny of a map so having the map change with every play is a good way to level the playing field for those more casual gamers.

We'll have more details soon. The game is due for release this year.

Of course, it would be even better if Insomniac announce a completely different title this Thursday, such as the next Ratchet & Clank game. We need to find out how the story continues, dammit!

Dubbed the 'Pick 'n' Mix' bundle, you can choose from top games such as Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Motorstorm and even Singstar (with microphones).

So if you were thinking of buying a PS3 in the next four days, we recommend you hang on an extra day and save yourself a bundle.
