No, not the Triumph…

Excited about Gran Turismo 6 yet? No? Well, maybe you should be. Why? No, not because of the new trailer above (and it’s whining, annoying music…), but more for this little snippet of information that has been floating around for a while but has largely gone unnoticed: “The [Course Maker] feature, available at a later […]

REVIEW: Driver San Francisco (PS3)

While it has its faults, Driver: San Francisco is a triumphant return to form for the once-great Driver series, following the awfulness that was the clunky DRIV3R on PS2 and Xbox.

Previously said to be an Xbox exclusive, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City has now magically, through the power of “lots of money to be made”, finally popped up on a PlayStation near you. Comprising, as the title suggests, of two separate ‘episodes’ – each available separately for download through the PlayStation Store, or […]
