Five Live — Nintendo 3DS, Tax Breaks and UK games chart

guycocker — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:30:26 +0000

I was on BBC Five Live again last night, doing my usual section on games. I talked about the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, tax breaks for UK game developers, and the top five games of the week. It’s a ten minute section, have a listen to the last ten minutes of the show! (Note: the BBC iPlayer link below will only work in the UK until Saturday 2nd April.)

Wipeout HD Videos

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.

My first GameSpot Video Review

My first video review has just gone up on GameSpot, for GRID from Codemasters! We’re just getting into the swing of doing video reviews — sending HD footage between international teams is a bit of a nightmare — but I really enjoyed doing it. The game itself is also well worth checking out, so read the review here.

Start/Select from Ubidays

Last week, me and Ash from GameSpot UK headed to Paris to attend Ubidays, and our video documentary is now up on GameSpot. Also check out the site for my previews on Soul Calibur IV, Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway and Far Cry 2 on Xbox 360.

Love the new GTA IV advert

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

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.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Hands-On

guycocker — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 12:18:30 +0000

After spending a day playing the press preview of the game, I’ve just posted my hands-on impressions of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on GameSpot. From the preview:

As with all previous games in the series, Gran Turismo’s love of cars is obvious from the moment you load it up. If you’re a casual racing fan, you might actually find this automobile obsession almost to the game’s fault, given that it prevents you from actually racing anything before you’ve spent a good few minutes setting everything up.
