I spent a good majority of my day today playing through Wipeout HD on the PlayStation 3. The game plays really well, with improved handling since I encountered it earlier in the year. I’d say I made it about halfway through the single-player campaign during the day, the highlight of which was becoming the number one ranked player in the world in a number of races. Sadly, I doubt that will last even ten minutes once the game is released later this month.

Anyway, I took a number of videos as I was playing, so ahead of the review, gorge yourself on some of these rather fine videos for a taste of the finished game.

Sony’s PlayTV arrived in the office a while back and I was lucky enough to give it a whirl ahead of its release. Aside from an ugly box and a lack of a PSP transfer facility, I like PlayTV, and if I had a PS3 I would definitely check it out. In-depth impressions will be going up on GameSpot shortly, but in the meantime here’s a video I captured during testing.

I’m in the process of setting up another blog, so I thought I would consolidate my hosting to one company. After researching the options, I had a ‘eureka’ moment when I found out the hosting package I bought for my girlfriend offered unlimited domain support, allowing me to cancel my GoDaddy hosting, move two blogs over and save myself quite a bit of money over the year!

It’s a nightmare moving over a blog with its databases, but I actually learned a lot more about how these things work along the way.

With the new iPod Touch being released yesterday, I thought I should update my blog to work with the site. Thanks to the excellent BraveNewCode plugin, the site should now automatically format itself for the iPod Touch and iPhone whenever you visit on the device. Let me know what you think!

It’s been a big week for me, with trips to see Codemasters followed by Leipzig in Germany. Here are a couple of videos from my experience.
