If you can't wait for Tenchu 2, head along to your local importer and order a copy of Tenchu: Shinobi Choice of 100. This add-on for the original Tenchu is comprised of 100 missions created by fans in a recent contest. There will be three distinct mission types - find and kill all the baddies; assassinate a particularly bad baddie; search for the treasure. Some of the levels have obviously been inspired by other popular action titles such as Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. Tenchu: Shinobi Choice of 100 will be released in Japan on November 5 for 2,500 yen (around £13).

We can now confirm our story of May 20th... this autumn will see the release of Namco's Pacman World ~ 20th Anniversary in Japan. The yellow ball-shaped fella will feature in three separate modes of play - Maze, Quest and Classic. Quest mode is an all-new 3D action-adventure set in six different worlds. Maze mode is more like the Pacman we all know and love, tarted up with 3D graphics and some new features. Classic mode is, you guessed it, a collection of all the classic Pacman games. Waka-waka.

Taito are currently working on a bizarre new arcade driving game called Power Shovel Simulator. You get to drive around a building site in a great big digger, using the mechanical arm to... erm... dig. But it's not all digging - you'll also need to manipulate various objects, too heavy to lift by human hands. Maybe you'll also be able to sit around on your fat arse, eating big sandwiches and shouting at six in the morning.
