Posted by guycocker in gamespot, podcast, video games on April 10, 2008
We’ve decided it’s time to upgrade the GSUK podcast banner, as users are tired of seeing my ugly mug alongside the logo. We have two new banners which we’re throwing open to the public, so to cast your vote on the images below, head over to the GameSpot UK forums.

I was recently invited to Rockstar’s London office for yet another look at GTA IV, this time at the multiplayer game.

Head over to the preview at GameSpot for more information on this highly-anticipated game.

Buzz! Quiz TV Hands-On
Posted by guycocker in video games on April 5, 2008
Sony recently sent in a bundle of upcoming PS3 titles such as Wipeout HD, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and the new PS3 version of Buzz. Shipping with wireless controllers and including online play, this is definitely the best version I’ve played, and as a fan of the series it may be one of the contributing factors to my purchase of a PS3 to play it on. The preview’s over at GameSpot now.
