As a massive James Bond fan it pains me to say this, but the latest 007 game to appear on the next-gen consoles – Blood Stone 007 – just isn’t very good… Vastly derivative and plagued with niggling annoyances, Blood Stone 007 is particularly frustrating simply because it could have been so good. The most […]

Loved the uber-sexy Shinari concept shown by Mazda a few months ago? Yeah, us too… Say something very rude when you found out it would never make production? Yeah, us too… But the sexy Shinari was always more of an indication for the future of Mazda design than an actual production possibility, and now Mazda […]
So, after a massive five year wait, Gran Turismo 5 is finally here. Originally slated to be one of the PS3’s launch titles, GT5 has been delayed constantly to the point where it was in danger of becoming irrelevant in the face of ever-improving competing racing games. But now it is finally here, and the […]
The BMW 5-series has become the first car in the history of the New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild Car of the Year Award to lift the top prize three times by taking victory yet again. Presenting the Peter Greenslade Trophy – named after the late motoring editor of The Press in Christchurch, who was one […]
Sometimes it is cool to own something with a car logo on it. Mainly only a car though. These 10 things are NOT cars… 10. Bentley Luggage Tag (NZ$54) Brilliant! Not only does this say that in all likelihood you DON’T own a Bentley, it also tells everyone that you spent a silly amount of […]

Oh, sure, it looks great, with its consciously fashionable, ever-so-slightly purposely over-designed styling, it is a truly attractive and, more importantly, interesting entrant into the premium supermini segment. But when you start looking at the meat of the spec-sheet – the engine and transmission […]
I can get this review of Call Of Duty: Black Ops out of the way remarkably quickly. With two words as a matter of fact: Massively Disappointing. COD: Modern Warfare, World At War and Modern Warfare 2 were awesome games, Black Ops isn’t. Simple as that. Even ignoring the slightly retarded storyline, mental AI and […]
Okay, this is confusing, so pay attention! Group Lotus and Genii Capital, who now own the majority of the Renault F1 team, have joined forces to form the Lotus Renault GP Formula 1 Team. Got that? Good. But, what’s that I hear you say? “What in the name of Sweet Dancing Jesus are you talking […]
Seeing the Porsche Panamera in your driveway can fill you with a number of different feelings, largely depending on what angle you are looking at it from. Catch it front ¾, from down low and the 911-esque nose and wide, muscular stance makes it look sexy. However, catch it from the rear and slightly above […]
BMW recently unveiled a lavish facelift for the cars in the 3-series range that feature only two doors – the coupe and convertible, that is. Actually, scratch that, they played about a bit with the bumpers and tweaked a few other bits that you won’t notice and that’s pretty much it for the visual changes […]
