Love the new GTA IV advert

18 Apr 2008 In: video games

This UK TV advert for GTA IV is brilliant, not only because it features LCD Soundsystem, but also because it’s unlike any other game ad I’ve seen before. Kudos to Microsoft for investing in it, although I imagine it’ll be worth their while financially.

My Gaming Setup

15 Apr 2008 In: video games

I’m reviewing Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 on Wii from home today, so I thought I’d take a photo of my home gaming setup. Note the two Wiis (one is my housemate’s) and the abundance of cabling bursting through the cabinet. Oh, and the 37-inch 1080p Toshiba LCD TV.

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.

Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer Preview

9 Apr 2008 In: video games

I was recently invited to Rockstar’s London office for yet another look at GTA IV, this time at the multiplayer game. It’s looking mightily impressive, and rather than being a tacked-on online experience, it looks set to be an integral part of the game. Head over to the preview at GameSpot for more information on this highly-anticipated game.
