Wii Fit Video Diary

22 May 2008 In: gamespot, video games

This week, I was stupid enough to embark on a one-and-a-half month Wii Fit challenge. Me and my fellow GameSpot editors will be using Nintendo’s exercise-em-up for the next six weeks to see if it can help us become fitter and healthier. The first part of the video is below, and I’ll be posting more updates on the GameSpot Wii Fit Editors’ Diary.

Housewarming video

17 May 2008 In: general thoughts

Last night, me and my housemates had a housewarming party to celebrate moving into our new flat in North East London. After reading a cool guide on Lifehacker on how to document the party, I set up a time-lapse video using my Mac Mini in the living room and left the thing running all night. I think the results are pretty sweet, but let me know what you think in the comments.


Pendulum Gig Review

13 May 2008 In: video games

Xbox Live held a live music event last night at Fabric to celebrate the launch of Pendulum’s new album (they’re also taking part in ‘Game with Fame‘ later in the month).

I’m by no means a drum ‘n’ bass fan–my last live encounter with the genre was Roni Size back in 2000, but I enjoyed this band and would recommend them live to anyone with a passing interest in dance music.

The only bad part about the night was the guy who introduced them. Having recently reached the heights of the UK Singles Top 10, the introducer assured us that it was still ok to like Pendulum despite their mainstream success. Check out the cringe-worthy video below.

LittleBigPlanet preview Wednesday

12 May 2008 In: gamespot, video games

I love what I’ve seen of LittleBigPlanet so far, and last month I was invited down to play the game’s create mode for the first time. Crazy journalism rules dictated an embargo of about a month on what I saw, but my hands-on piece will finally be up on GameSpot this Wednesday. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a new screenshot from the incredibly cute game, more of which can be found here.

UPDATE: This preview is now live.

A multimedia compilation

9 May 2008 In: gamespot, video games

I’ve been doing lots of audio/video stuff at the moment, and being the resourceful sort I thought I’d compile some of it in one place. First up is an amazing podcast that we did with Rob Yescombe from Free Radical Design, and the next is an episode of Start/Select that compiles all the best stuff from the recent EA 08 showcase. Both are available on GameSpot, so check them out and post comments over on the site.
