Gran Turismo Prologue headed to Europe in MarchFiled under: NewsEuropean release dates are usually up in the air until someone announces a big delay, or some kind of issue causes a game to get a much later release than its Japanese or American counterparts. Sony has promised that Europe will see a release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue sometime in late March. No price or solid release date, naturally, but it's still interesting to see the game almost upon us. The US release date is still tentative, but aiming at a mid-April launch. When we get more solid confirmations, we'll let you know!

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Tata Motors plans to introduce its ultra-cheap Nano car to the European market in four years' time, the head of compact car projects at Tata Motors told German magazine Focus. "We will develop a successor model in four years time, which will meet the Euro 5 emission regulations and the crash standards in Europe," Girish Wagh was quoted as saying by Focus in an advance abstract on Sunday. The main target was to reduce the car's fuel consumption to three from currently five litres per 100 kilometres, Wagh told the magazine. Tata Motors unveiled the $2,500 Nano, the world's cheapest car, in January and said the new four-seater would roll out later in the year from its factory in the eastern state of West Bengal. Tata has said it will initially produce about 250,000 Nanos and expects eventual annual demand of 1 million units. Tata has said it would focus on the home market for two to three years before considering exporting the Nano to countries in

By Christian Lowe and Conor Sweeney MOSCOW (Reuters) - Europe's main election watchdog cancelled plans on Thursday to monitor Russia's presidential election next month, citing unacceptable restrictions imposed by Moscow. Dmitry Medvedev, an ally of outgoing President Vladimir Putin, is overwhelming favourite to win the March 2 contest that Kremlin opponents say is slanted in his favour. "We made every effort in good faith to deploy our mission," said ODIHR director Christian Strohal in a statement. "The Russian Federation has created limitations that are not conducive to undertaking election observation." A verdict from the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) is regarded by Western states as the best yardstick of whether a vote is fair and the group's withdrawal is likely to damage further Russia's democratic credentials. The pullout follows weeks of argument over the observer mission. Russia said the monitors could arrive only 11 da

The arrogance and conceit of some of our leading politicians almost takes my breath away and I might add it is not only politicians. The manner in which Tony Blair is being touted around the EU Chancellories as a contender to become the President of Europe, which is a new position created under the Lisbon Treaty defies reality. It is as if Mr Blair and his supporters are oblivious to, or are contemptuous of public opinion, let alone the man’s short comings as a democratic politician. The fact that the position of President of Europe is an unelected post is bad enough, but it is just not on to even consider placing into this position a man who not only ignored the will of the British people when he took the UK to war against Iraq, but that he did so by using slight of hand methodology which most legal experts regard as being illegal; and to this day he refuses to admit he made any major mistakes when it comes to Iraq.The right-wing French President Nicolas Sarkozy is at the forefront

A right-wing populist party has just announced an attempt to get the construction of mosques banned (more...) in an Austrian state. Meanwhile a right-wing group in Cologne is trying to stop a mosque from being built there (more...).But why have right-wing populist parties suddenly seized on the issue of mosques?Because mosques provide the perfect topic for right-wing parties and how they are forcing mainstream parties to shift to the right.

PS3 to beat Xbox 360 in Battle for EuropePS3 officials have announced that the number of PAL PlayStation 3s will exceed that of Xbox 360s by the end of this summer. David Reeves, the man in charge with Sony's affairs in Europe said: " In terms of installed base in some of our major markets, such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy, plus some distributor territories in smaller markets like Switzerland, our current cumulative installed base is now higher than that of the Xbox 360." Reeves also added that Sony's wonder console has outsold Microsoft's machine by 3:1 last week in PAL territories, and he expects the PS3 to outnumber the 360 in Europe, by the end of this summer. All this talk of Europe, Germany and France made me think about WW2. Maybe Microsoft represents Germany and Sony, the Allied Forces. If history repeats itself, will Sony come up on top in the end?!?

Did you know, Denmark has the highest rate of income tax, with citizens paying over 65% of their earnings? Yet, Copenhagen is rated as one of the world's best cities to live in, despite the high cost of living. Accommodation is quite affordable for the average person compared to London and Paris. Copenhagen hotels and other Denmark hotels, in that respect have comparatively lower rates. Danish people love music – from open air concerts and festivals to small places playing all types of music. Anything from jazz, blues, folk, pop to rock . If you are looking to discover Danish night life, the chances are you will be listening to live music. Other great options for taking in some live music are at the new bars, which often have a kind of club culture or disco in them. Modes of transport include trains and buses.Apart from a metro system, Copenhagen has a good suburban rail network that is electrified. Just recently, significant investment has been made in the country's roads. Many inte

Most notable to us, of course, are the 360 games on the list. Probably the biggest title on the list is Condemned 2: Bloodshot, the sequel to one of the 360's better launch titles, which releases March 14 across the pond. The other titles on the list are as follows: The Club - February 8 Universe at War - March 7 Viking: Battle for Asgard - March 28 SEGA Superstars Tennis - March 28 Naturally, we can expect that these titles should hit North America at approximately the same time.

Europe Gets Wii Chess, And They Can Keep It ThereNintendo of America's winter 2008 lineup is still largely undefined, but we know at least one game our friends in Europe are getting: Wii Chess. And damned if it isn't ugly. NOE's penchant for releasing basically anything occasionally lets our friends across the pond get their hands on games like Tingle's Rupee Land, but I don't envy them Wii Chess for a minute. I (of all people!) understand the principle that simple graphics are non-threatening, and that they'll likely make a ridiculous amount of money off of this, but check out this line from the official web page: "You will be able to control the movement of your pieces by simply holding the Wii Remote vertically and using the +Control Pad and A and B Buttons." So, what, you don't even use the pointer to move? Watching the video on the page seems to confirm this. From all appearances, the production values on this make Ninjabread Man look like Gears of War.

You may not guess it from the sky-high prices of the top Bordeaux chateaus (some fetching in excess of $1000 USD per bottle - and presumably on allocation to those who can afford their own islands), but the European wine market has been in trouble for a few years.With labels that many international consumers find confusing, and laws that restrict varietals, winemaking conditions, grape production, and dictate what techniques can be used by winemakers, EU (aka "Old World") producers have been searching for the magic formula that will allow them to better compete with their "New World" counterparts...While many producers in the EU have strong 'brands' (mostly linked to the most famous of their chateaus), countries like the United States, Australia, Chile, and Canada have stronger marketing, cheaper land, and encourage more innovative vineyard and winemaking practices by having far fewer restrictions on their production. Which is why, in the cheaper wine department, these countries are t
