Hi all,

I was a little ticked off that Tekken official website – tekken.com – did not have any forums, so I have set up a fansite unofficial forum myself.

Hopefully if you’re interested in tekken and their upcoming games, events, competitions and much more, you’ll make a few comments there.

Here is a link to the unofficial Tekken forum.

Hi all,

Got home and unpacked my fresh version of GT5. Oh lordy lord.

The smell of the instruction booklet’s fresh print. *shiver runs down spine*. This is it. It’s here. It’s finally FUCKING here.

Installation:
It takes ages to install GT5. 43 minutes on my PS3 classic 40GB. The game needs a fair bit of space. If I remember correctly, it was 8GB and some… which is fine!

Introduction video:
*drools*. So much machinery, I don’t know what to do with myself. The video was very cool. It demonstrates the process of car creation including all the metal making parts which was absolutely fantastic. All in 1080p… yum yum.

The User Interface:
My date and time were wrong so after the initial panic of the fact I could not select any of the menu options because it could not sync, it all seemed pretty good. Slow, but good. It looks beautiful and makes sense. Very nice intuitive layout. I like the idea of the home page, very cool.

The simulator / Game:
*drools*. GT5 has the physics absolutely spot on! I cannot believe how real this game feels. It’s actually scary. Graphics are a bit shit, but the simulator is addictive. The events are plentiful. The game just feels so right. I love it with a passion.

The Multiplayer:
The server list is extremely slow, and my joystick seemed unresponsive whilst the server list loaded. It reminded me of Battlefield Bad Company 2 when it first came out on PC. My connection cut out half way through it updating and GT5 would not respond after it had done so. I had to restart in the end.

Apart from that, the multiplayer itself was very cool. I assume that there will be a lot of work to be done in updating the whole multiplayer feature… It’s all a bit lacking. But don’t worry, you’ll love it nonetheless.

Music
The music is gorgeous, and plentiful. A lot of it is very loungy so it really fits well with the whole driving theme.

Verdict – 4/5
Haha, ver-”dick”-t. Anyway. I love this game. If you like driving, you must get this game. Trust me, it’ll be everything you were looking for and more. It’s my favourite racing game so far.

Oh by the way, it has our car in it: Mazda 6 MPS, first race you participate in:

Here’s some other reviews:

• IGN – 8.5
• Gamespot – 7.5
• Joystiq – 4/5 Stars

Please take them with salt, they are very focused on it being a game rather than a simulator, thing is. If you love driving, you’ll love this game. I don’t understand why they are attacking it so much. It’s a very big success, its a 3 thumbs up (“Incest in the morning… 97.1″)

Gran Turismo 5 Uk Release Date has finally been confirmed for November 24th. With the release date nearing, I can’t help but feel a little twitchy about the upcoming press.

I have to be honest, i’m extremely excited about it all now. I’m trying to get my hands on a nice Logitech G25 racing wheel set but everything is a little pricey at the moment – Goose is getting fat and all that.

Fingers and toes crossed that there is no more delays.

Guess what, my Mazda 6 MPS is in the game too!

Here’s a list of cars present in Gran Turismo 5

Ok… Gran Turismo 5 Uk release date delayed again. No problems *bites nails*… Delaying the game until Christmas is ok with me *rips child’s head off*… I’ve not been affected in the slightest *vomits on floor and cries like a baby girl*.

There we have it…

Gran Turismo 5 will now be released in UK “before Christmas”…

This is what they say:

“We are sorry to say that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available on the previously announced release date of November 3rd, but the game will be released before Christmas,” a statement read.

“We sincerely apologise to GT fans for the delay, however creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating a racing experience of the highest quality.

“We are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches later this year. We’ll have more information for you in the near future.”

That’s all folks!

Do you realise how many times I have raced the GT5 Prologue tracks?

Enough to be ridiculously excited about the release of Gran Turismo 5.

Gran Turismo UK Release date is confirmed: 2nd November 2010.

Here’s the official E3 2010 trailer to get you as excited as I am:

Hi all,

A little birdie told me that Mafia 2 was available for download on Steam.

“Vito has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay, someone who can be trusted to get a job done. In this hot leaded playable demo, you and Joe get one of your first serious assignments, to deal with a chump that isn’t playing ball the way the Mob likes it.”

So go download the demo here and tell me what you think of it by posting a comment below!

It looks freaking awesome! I can’t wait…

Hi all,

I just found out there will be a Tekken vs Street Fighter game. W00t!

As If I wasn’t already excited enough about The old Republic for PC,  Street Fighter and Tekken 6 for the PS3. This is going to be amazing…

I thought the best way to hype you all for this pretty gnarly news was to post a few links to some forums and vids that share the same enthusiasm as me for this revolution!

And a few forums that got me excited:

StarCraft 2 release date UK is set for July 27, 2010. *pisses in underwear*. I can’t freaking wait. I haven’t played a good rts since Red Alert 3.

“StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival…”

I mean, comeon… This sounds epic, I honestly cannot wait!

But why is it that Blizzard never release their damn games on Steam. I want to see it on Steam, It’s where a hell of a lot of my games are held these days and it just makes sense to have it released there. I can only being to imagine the amount of sales they will get from releasing it on Steam over and above the already outstandingly huge fan base of StarCraft 2

So here is a question: Will StarCraft 2 be released on Steam?

And here is an answer: StarCraft 2 will not be released on Steam.

It will, however, be released on battle.net

After the hype of Skate 3 and all of its new features, I naturally ordered a copy as soon as it came out and made plans for a good old gaming session with my friends.

I booted Skate 3 up on the PS3 and enjoyed the cinematic movie. Fantastic and as funny as usual.

The layout of the interface was a little different so I struggled to find the multiplayer options for party play and decided to start a career instead, leaving the party play for when my friends came.

That evening, I was running on caffeine; totally excited about the evening, I decided I’d get the party play mode for Skate 3 prepared.

“Where is it, where is it. Must be here somewhere!”. I read through the instructions… Nothing?

I Googled it.

I cried.

Skate 3 has no party play mode. Why the hell would they have taken one of the greatest elements of Skate 3, out of Skate 3. It makes little to no sense. I demand an explanation from EA themselves for this stupid decision.

We want Skate 3 offline party play mode and we want it now!
