Which means I was going to go buy GTA IV today! GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas absolutely blew me away with the quality of the narrative and distinctive and unique open worlds. Best of all, guilty pleasures all in a consequence-free environment!

Fans of this blog - of whom there are at least six (see mum? 100% up on last year, despite the lack of official updates) - will know that I hold a special place in my heart for October, or as the cool kids like to call it, ROCKtober. Why does October

I'd heard they were out, but couldn't find one for money nor begging at the local shopping centre this weekend. This either means they're really popular, or we just sold all four we imported! Consumer: Drat. Shareholder: much rejoicing.

We announced what appears to have been the world's worst-kept gaming secret! From my perspective (as an Australian owner of a White Xbox for the last year), I'm not fussed; HDMI is non-present on my current monitor, and I'm quite happy with the VGA cable.

"Experience" is a lovely word for a corporate blog. Discuss. Anyway, my experience was that it didn't work the first time round. That was at 7pm. it's now 9pm, and I've just finished my first laps around Barcelona in RFactor , using the Wireless Racing

Gah! The whole weekend spent playing Crackdown! What has the world come to!? Crackdown does a bunch of stuff phenomenally well. I've had to think, I've had to react quickly, and in some areas I've just had to sandbag my way through. Climbing up the sides

It's great that it's finally out in the US... Not so good that I got back last week, dagnabbit! Now I just need to wait for Aussie availability, so I can play RFactor with Racing Wheel comfort until Forza 2 drops! Mmm. Racing wheel. Combine that with

About time! March brings us Aussies the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on. $249 looks like the magic number - nicely equivalent with the US RRP. Can't wait to watch MI3 and Superman Returns... And Kotaku said it even ships with King Kong in the box ! Awesome! I

My eyes just haven't been the same since the tusk incident, and the medication seems to be making them worse. I'm typically the last person you'll see away from the office, but with eye things, it's better to not take the risk of spreading them. Still,

If you've got an Xbox and broadband but haven't upgraded from Silver, give it a go! It's free until 10pm Sunday. I've been playing Gears of War this week, and am *itching* to take it online, but my phone line decided to suddenly choke my ADSL connection

What am I looking forward to this Christmas? Well, two have really caught my fancy: Gears of War - 23 Nov (I mean seriously, with a metascore like that , I'd need to seriously justify not buying it) Rainbow Six Vegas - 23 Nov ( metascore not there yet,

To the beach, once more. Since going on holiday a couple of hours ago, I've: - bought Civ 4 and Psychonauts from Steam (played the Psychonauts demo a while back, absolutely loved it, but didn't buy it for a reason I can't remember right now) (they're

Today: 1. Saints Row should become available locally for the Xbox 360. Liked the demo. On the subject, did anyone try out the Just Cause demo from Marketplace? That was really over-the-top latin american fun! I wonder if it'll have Live capabilities,

Tycho (linked page contains harsh language) expands on something I've been unhappy about for years - my emphasis in bold: I was interested to read an interview with the man who designed Lara Croft, where he makes it clear that their Tomb Raidin' gameplay

Fantastic. Incidentally - we were excited when we saw Big W had the premium pack for 628 on the launch Thursday, but Dick Smiths at Macquarie currently have the premium pack for 615 - 35 bucks off! My preorder was $650, but I got it at 20 past 12 on Thursday
