Sega Rally is the only of the incoming racers that boasts an entirely new feature: deformable terrain that makes a physical difference to the driving surface, therefore, your car handling. Today, Sega Racing Studios have released the 360 demo allowing us to see whether this is a gimmick or whether it will become a new [...]

This is an update to my personal 360 / PS3 BC list.
Xbox 360
Turns out that Project Zero and Fatal Frame, despite being the same game, are not equally backwards compatible. Project Zero is not compatible with Xbox 360.
As a bizarre (hehe) side-note, I also played Project Gotham Racing 2 on the 360 and noted with [...]

And so my car painting days resume. This time I have the distinct pleasure of Forza Motorsport 2 and a brand new garage and HD wonderfulness.
For my career I decide to start in Europe (I dislike the laughable handling of most American cars and the Gran Turismo series usually forces you to start with Japanese [...]

Stories about stupid people are great. Stories about stupid criminals simply bring joy to the world.
Our hero this week is Peter Addison who, brilliantly, wrote his full name on the wall of a children’s campsite building he broke into and vandalised.
Peter Addison was here!
Not just
Pete was ‘ere!
but his whole name. And just in case there [...]

UPDATE: Imageshack appear to have removed my screen grab so I’ve reposted using Windows Live Writer auto-image uploading.
Windows Live Photo Gallery is a photo viewer. I am running Windows XP. However, I cannot include the My Pictures folder in my gallery.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen an entertaining trailer for a video game; one that made me laugh or that I found fun. Well, Sega Rally Revo’s “Drive like a man” viral adverts have changed that.
IGN have posted two ads calling Starting Line and Breakout which can be viewed from their Sega Rally Revo [...]

I have been very happily using Windows Live Writer Beta up until Sunday gone when publishing now returned me a nasty error message that gave the impression that something horrible had gone wrong when, in fact, the blog had been successfully updated.

Plot
Based upon a true story.
1884: [...]

The demo for Electronic Arts annual serious racing franchise is now up on PlayStation 3’s United States PlayStation Store. Sadly, it appears that 2008 is going to be a very bad year for Electronic Arts annual game franchises and this iteration still doesn’t bring the feature set of the previous generation console games to the PlayStation [...]
