I was recently lucky enough to be invited down to Rockstar’s offices to play Grand Theft Auto IV for the first time. My preview was embargoed for a decent length of time, but it’s now available over on GameSpot.

From the article:

“Grand Theft Auto IV is looking superb. Perhaps even more importantly, it’s looking finished. The millions of eager fans who were disappointed by the game’s postponement can rest easy, because bar a major catastrophe, the game should make its planned April release date.”

This is Start/Select, a new show that I’ve been doing for GameSpot UK. We’re now on episode five, with the latest edition seeing us transported to Montreal for a first look at Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 and Far Cry 2. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I may be imagining things, but the last time I was at Sony’s 3Rooms ‘brand space’, there was a PSP encased in plastic above the toilet. Yesterday at a LittleBigPlanet hands-on event, they’d mysteriously disappeared. Had the East-London property been burgled? Was there an electrical failure? Can you solve the mystery of the disappearing PSPs?

Sony’s 3Rooms is still a remarkable place though — pretty much anyone’s ideal flat if they’re at all into technology or gaming. Sony uses it to show off its new releases, and with an abundance of large flat-screen TVs and PS3s, there’s never any trouble finding something to play with. Impressions of LittleBigPlanet and PlayTV should follow shortly, and in the meantime here are some shots of 3Rooms from an earlier event.

The Answer were at the Gibson Studios and we were there to interview them and see them live. Have to say, I loved all of it-was great to meet such a down-to-earth up-and-coming band.
