Our weekly update specialist Andy Wells was in Paris last week for Ubidays 08 - and boy was he busy. He scoped out a Brothers in Arms and Shaun White Snowboarding interview.

You can grab each video from our video library, but there are quite a few videos so you might miss them (I did - sorry Andy!) so we've got them here for you.

Next up we have the Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway interview. This one explains a bit more about "historical fiction" and pumps up the story behind the game a bit more.

Last but not least we have Shaun White Snowboarding. Using the same engine as Assassin's Creed this one's looking very hot - scope out the interview of what's shaping up to be an SSX challenger.

**EDIT** - The Far Cry 2 interview we had up is going down - poor old Andy hadn't slept when he did that one up for us so he's got a new one coming - stay tuned for that one early next week!

As we mentioned earlier, our Weekly Update Specialist Andy Wells is in Paris this week scoping out Ubidays 2008 in the Louvre. The event has wrapped up now, and Andy got us a video from the event before he hit the hay for some well earned rest.

Hit up the video for news on Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Brothers in Arms Hells Highway, Soul Calibur 4, another look at Far Cry 2 and Tom Clancy's EndWar. It's all in the Wrap-up!

Those hideous rabid rabbits are back on the Wii again, and they're adding even more mini-games to their arsenal. Announced at Ubidays 2008 was Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, the third game in the Raving Rabbids series.

This time Rayman will be catching the rascally rabbids with a brand new weapon - the Wii Balance Board. President and CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, said,
The Rayman Raving Rabbids titles have been an immense success, entertaining the world over... The inclusion of the Wii Balance Board into the game was a huge source of inspiration for our development team and I guarantee you will see the Wii Balance Board used in ways that will be surprisingly unexpected!

The game everyone has been waiting for - Allen Carr's Easyway to Quit Smoking - is finally coming to you thanks to Ubisoft, the French developers revealed at Ubidays 2008.

A press release from the event let those of us who haven't heard of Allen Carr in on the deal. You see,
Published in 50 countries, Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking book is an international best seller, and Allen Carr’s Easyway network of clinics spans the globe. Over 10 million smokers worldwide have already turned to Allen Carr’s Easyway books, clinics or DVD in order to stop smoking.


Managing director of Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking, Robin Hayley, is pumped about how the game has been coming together. He said,
There was an amazing synergy between Allen Carr’s Easyway team and Ubisoft as we worked on this project. Our experts worked hand in hand with the Ubisoft team to create an entertaining and illuminating game that delivers Allen Carr’s Easyway method in a new, dynamic and highly effective way.


One hitch in the plan - the target audience for the DS is below the legal age for smoking. What do you think about the ever-increasing market in self-help games - Wii Fit, My Health Coach and now this?

I'll be putting together a wrap up video of various interviews/gameplay of the day... Stay tuned!


And there was one game Andy didn't mention Ubisoft are showing off - Beyond Good & Evil 2. Ubisoft gave up teaser assets, but didn't mention which game they were showing - the assets say it all however.


Beyond Good & Evil
