        Wow

        What a weekend of motorsport mayhem

        Firstly gratz has to go to our boy from Stevenage showing his maturity with such a disciplined bit of racecraft. Still, HOW CLOSE?!



        Well done Hami, you’ve done us proud.

        Congratulations to Kidd Dash who showed the oldies right up with a staggering 44.385" lap in the closing hours of competition.

        Well done matey. Prize is winging its way to you

        Keep those engines warm chaps. The 4WD cup will be upon us shortly. Rules will be disclosed next

        Hi Guys. Well that's another highly successful GF5 cup done and dusted.
        Head over to the V12 Cup sister site for all the results and coverage.

        A big thanks goes out to everyone for taking part and an special big up for BD for the extra time spent testing and test running the tw

        01/31/08
        So Rez HD launched on XBLA yesterday to great acclaim. I’ve been waiting for this for ages, as I’ve never actually had a chance to play it for myself but from what everyone was saying about it, there was no way I wasn’t going to like it.

        ‘cept, I don’t.

        Actually that’s not str

      • Advance Wars DS: Black Hole Rising
        01/25/08
        By rights I should love Advance Wars. The original GBA version pretty much propped up a 27 hour plane journey to NZ (and filled in some nice little bored evenings in a camper van in the middle of Taupo). The DS version (the first one at least) left me cold though, and still sits in my collection gat

        Bio shocked. That's what I've been for the last few nights.

        My new years resolution of only playing one game at a time has already gone completely out the window. The rusty tin of Rapture has been glinting at me for some time now, sitting unloved on my shelf just waiting for m

        01/21/08


        Gah! Y'see, y'see, this is why I remember going off PC gaming. Yes you do get shiny pretty loveliness but oh my gawd how much time did I lose this weekend just twiddling and tweaking and trying to get things to work?

        Gaming wasn't so much the problem - just Vis

        Holy crap!

        The HD console scene has been quite satisfying for the length of time I've been out of PC gaming but having a proper yardstick to compare it to - hell, that really does put the cat amongst

        Here is the PS3's killer app. Why do I believe this? Because for me it sums up exactly what I wanted from the so-called "Next Gen"

        Nope, not merely a bunch of polished-up last gen games dressed in new shiny HD clothes - but something really "out there"

      • Blu without you
        01/09/08

        Without turning this site into a techy bitchfest I want to look at the HD “war” again.

        It now looks like Paramount have bowed out and are heading exclusively to Blu Ray. Of course this has set the interweb forums alight with “zomg!11 HD DVD is dead” and to be honest, they might have

      • That's Blu Folks
        01/07/08
        Well it would seem the format war took a turn for the Blu this weekend as Warner pledged their allegiance to the united states of sony, sorry, BluRay, meaning that from May 08 all work on HD DVD releases are to be ceased. As pretty much the only big name left on the fence the decision to think Blu r

      • Where did all my gaming go?
        01/02/08
        So there you have it...

        A week off work and all I managed was 2 hours of Mass Effect and a few rounds of Call of Duty. Oh and 1 level of LocoRoco, whilst having a particularly interesting time on the throne.

        However. it would appear even gamers need family time.

        12/31/07


        The PS3 had a bit of a dusting down after its brief flare of activity surrounding the disappointing (for me anyway) Drake's Fortune. Bizarre Creations, famed for their fantastic PGR arcade racing series seem to have turned their combo-tastic touch to things more concerned with shoot

        This thing's a work of frickin' genius. I remember the Magnetic Scrolls adventures on the Atari ST (and Amiga though to a lesser extent). The problem with most emulated versions is that they involve sitting there at your PC fiddlearsing around getting 'em to work. Now it l

        You’ve headshot the henchmen, circumnavigated unscripted crossfire, and topped the top boss. It took you 2 months and you’ve restarted the last level 7 times alone. You’ve caused loud upset to your (and the neighbours’) household and your pad’s proper dented. … but you’ve done it and now, at long la

        12/20/07
        Managed to nab an R4 DS for my...well my DS. It's a lovely little bit of kit for (ahem) Homebrew and does allow you to start using your DS as a neat little emulator machine too. So far I've got a decent E-Reader installed on it, SCUMMVM (old LucasArse adventures FTW!) and even a really nif

      • Sensi goal ruled offside
        12/19/07
        So our long standing favourite sports title ever, Sensible World of Soccer. was released on Xbox Live today. Unfortunately it was only available for about an hour before the collective interweb were screaming “HAX” and Microsoft quickly pulled the plug.

        Bugger.

        Well. Bug anyway

        It’s been far too long, but Groove Factor 5 is back and ready for action once again. The seminal community based gaming clan of the mid 90’s to early naughties has evolved and it wants you back…
