Grand Theft Auto IV – buy it now!
The hugely anticipated, new installment in the ground-breaking Grand Theft Auto series is set to arrive in April, and Play-Asia are already offering pre orders. GTA IV focuses on the story of Eastern European immigrant Niko Bellic, and takes players back to Liberty City and promises a cinematic story told like only Rockstar can. The Gran Theft Auto IV world is vast and detailed, and features gameplay like the series has never seen before.
PS3 media server – made easy.
If you want to setup a media server on your PC that can communicate with your PS3, forget about Windows Media Player 11, and get TVersity instead. It’s free, and it works. The only problem I’ve found with TVersity is that sometimes you need to reboot the PS3 to see any updates you’ve made to your media library. It’s not a big deal, and it’s certainly a lot nicer than using clunky old WMP.

It’s here! Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has finally been released – we all knew it was going to be something special, but I don’t think any of us were prepared for just how jaw droppingly beautiful this game really is. To put it simply – it’s a 10/10.

Hori Real Arcade Pro 3
The Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 is easily one of the best arcade sticks available for the PS3, with the only real competition being Sega’s Virtual Stick High Grade. The HORI features the excellent Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK stick, which is exactly what you’ll find in many Japanese arcade cabinets. Although the buttons on the HRAP3 are generic Hori buttons, they’re still good – and it’s easy enough to snap in some Sanwa buttons if you really must. This is as close to using a real arcade controller as it gets, and just like the VSHG, the HORI Real Arcade Pro 3 will also work on a PC (Mame, emulators, etc). There really isn’t much between the new Hori stick and the Sega VSHG – they both have superb build quality and component quality, and both sticks are fantastic to use, it really just comes down to personal preference. Although we prefer the VSHG (only just!), the Hori seems a little more solid – so if you’re enthusiastic gamer who really likes to bash your controller around, then the Hori might have the edge.
PS3 Eye no longer a ‘toy’
The new PS3 Eye for the PlayStation3 has been announced – and it would seem that Sony have actually listened to the complaints and suggestions regarding the original PlayStation2 EyeToy – and have made a vastly improved camera this time around. The new camera has four times the resolution of the original EyeToy, and has a maximum framerate of 120 fps (twice the EyeToy framerate) which will allow for ultra smooth video capture and game control – you can even record and edit your own movies using the bundled EyeCreate editing software. The lens on the new PS3 Eye has an adjustable zoom lens so you can zoom in for video chat, and a wide 75 degree field of view for playing games – there’s also a new low-light mode which is twice as sensitive as the old EyeToy. The Eye uses a USB cable too – so hopefully we can find a way to get it working as a PC webcam just like the EyeToy.
