A Pure Competition! - Win A Copy Of The Game!
September 27, 2008
That’s right, Zath is holding a Pure competition! Last week Ender wrote about what he thought to the Pure PS3 demo of the upcoming extreme racing game that Disney Interactive Studio are releasing on the 25th September 2008 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Pure is an intense extreme sports, off-road quad bike racing game that involves lots of jumps and tricks. It has been developed by Black Rock Studio in collaboration with the esteemed quad racer and film director Wes Miller.

Rockstar has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 4 will be released on the PC!
The release date for North America is 18th November, while us Europeans will have to wait an extra 3 days for it to arrive on the 21st November 2008. I don’t mind, I’ve waited since April to hear this, so a few more days is nothing!
You might remember me mentioning in my post about digital gaming distribution that I actually managed to buy GTA 4 on the Xbox 360 a few days after release - it was quite task to do that even!
However, since buying it, I’ve tried playing it a few times on the Xbox 360, but have all but given up on it, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great looking game and I really *want* to play it, but the control system using a (cheap) wireless Xbox 360 controller just feels far too unnatural for me when I’ve played the last three GTA games with a mouse and keyboard on the PC.

July 6, 2008
Around a month ago I found that you could get Football Manager 2008 cheap on the Xbox 360, which was a real bargain at the time for the console version, but now you can get it cheap on the PC too!
Football Manager 2008 still has plenty of life left in it as the 2009 version probably won’t be coming out till at least October time, Football Manager Live still has a tentative release date of summer 2008, but who’s to say whether that will make it out the door in time for us wanna-be football managers to keep busy with over the summer holidays?

The annual update to the best football management series - Football Manager isn’t due out till around October time (the current release date is scheduled to be 19th October 2007), however this is the first cheap bargain pre-order price that I’ve seen for it that’s below £24.99.

May 20, 2007
‘Railroads!’ is Sid Meier’s follow-up to his great Railroad Tycoon games - I remember many evenings and weekends were lost to that 2D top-down aspect game on my Commodore Amiga, especially since it was one of the first business/economic management game with real depth I recall playing.
‘Half Life 2: Episode One’ Bargain
May 10, 2007
Half Life 2: Episode One is the follow-up installment to the brilliant Half Life 2 game. I got it when it was first released on the Steam downloadable platform, it’s Valve’s first attempt at episodic gaming and as such means it’s not a full length game, but while it lasts it’s certainly an action-packed experience with some great gaming moments!
I’d highly recommend you playing if you have even a passing interest in first person shooters, check out some of these reviews.

April 30, 2007
I found this interesting article at GameSpot that talks about the impending release of Halo 2 on Windows Vista and includes some examples of the upgraded graphics that you can expect from the PC version.
I mentioned that I was thinking of taking a look at Halo 2 when I was recently commenting on the Halo 3 multiplayer design. I was basically thinking of picking up Halo 2 for Xbox on the cheap and play it on my Xbox 360.
Now when you see the comparison between the Xbox and Windows Vista versions of this game, it does me you wonder whether I should just hold and wait until I’ve upgraded my PC to Vista, which I’m planning to do in the coming months.
