It’s been a bit quiet on the site of late, I think this is just things catching up with me. Easter was a tiring time with Lucy’s birthday thrown in. Too many dark days and bright nights were enjoyed, but now I need rest. The only interesting item to post about was I purchased iLife05 from Apple. Because I only got my G5 at the beginning of the year (two days before the release of iLife05), Apple...

Just a quick one to say happy birthday to Lucy! Thanks to all those who came out last night and enjoyed a drink, I took a few photo’s, so I will see if any are worth putting up. Until then, back to the...

SCI has today announced a bid to buy into Eidos. Eidos recently have not been on top of the world despite bringing the world Lara Croft, along with many other titles which completely slip my mind. They announced a major loss and requested a takeover to secure their future. The first to step forward was Bono (US lead singer) orientated partnership, Elevation Partners. Obviously, SCI has considered...

Gravy2012 and I had a quick go on the Logitech wheel over the weekend. Well, a quick go soon turned into about an evening’s worth. Add some beer and ales to the situation, and as you can imagine we soon ended up making a night of it. The real reason for the extended ‘testing’ of the wheel was the simple fact that it is so god-damn good! I was expecting some nice feedback from the reviews I have...

To be honest, I’m not normally a fan of driving wheels or things like that. I just think a video game is just that, a game, and anything like these is simply overkilled. I will stand corrected and eat my hat and whatever else you have to do, as today Lucy managed to find a Logitech Driving Force Pro steering wheel for the PlayStation2. The reason for this sudden change of heart is simply down to...

I’m always inspired by the endurance races in motorsport, the main one being the Le Mans 24h. Just the idea of a team of people running a car flat out for a day without stopping. Just to keep the drivers awake would be enough, but to then build a car that will run on the limit for this time is one achievement in my book. So imagine my delight when I discover that Gran Turismo 4 has some real time...

Monday mornings are never really the best, but this morning was a different matter. For some reason, there was an extra brightness in the sky and the air was smelling just that little sweeter. Does this mean spring is on the way? I damn well hope so, I’m fed up with the cold and miserable weather, I need some sun and a bit of warmth through my veins? This extra feeling carried all the way to work...

easyMobile.com — the discount mobilephoneco backed by no frills airline entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Ioannou — has taken off at last. And as reported, the cost of UK calls is 9p a minute while texts cost 3p. However, this is only a limited offer and from June, those charges will revert to 15p and 5p respectively. “We are very pleased to launch our service in the UK, and I fully believe British...

Microsoft’s second version of its Xbox console will feature a CPU with PowerPC cores, according to GameSpy, which claims to have scooped the specifications. I heard rumours of a PowerPC chip behind this machine many moons ago but decided not to believe the hype until confirmed. I’m still not convinced this is a 100% waterproof M$ approved spec sheet, so here’s to still holding your...

Today was the release of Gran Turismo 4 for the PlayStation2. I recieved my copy as usual and as of, yet I’m undecided about the game. By far, Polyphony have spent their time on the look and feel of the game, but this whole photo gallery idea instead of some good network play seems a bit strange. True, you can play a nice lan battle, but with Xbox running away with the Live scene you would have...
