And so we burst into the New Year in our own inimitable style. We won't be resting on our laurels though (but, like a certain footballer, we might wear our wives' knickers) because we've got tons of stuff to bring you next week. All the usual news, previews and reviews will be there, as well as the continuing story of the development of RISK II alongside our main feature.

What else can we tell you about next week's issue? What can we divulge that's going to ensure you remain subscribed to this glorious organ? Should we tease you with talk of monster competitions and chances to make money? Should we state that we've got exclusives no other print or website magazines will have? No. We'll just say that's it's going to be a darn good read if you're interested in videogames and let it go at that. See you next week.

Future Gamer 61 will be in your mailbox on Thursday January 13.
