Gran Turismo 5: Hands On

Posted on 2009/08/22 BY DARRYL

Sony were out in full force during GamesCom 2009, an event hosted in Cologne, Germany. As part of their booth, they had a section dedicated to their upcoming racing game, Gran Turismo 5. In Europe, this has probably been one of the most highly anticipated PlayStation 3 titles, and Gaming Union had a chance to try the game out.

The game had quite an impressive setup, with it hooked up to a fully functional force feedback peripheral. There's nothing like playing arguably the most attractive looking racing game with a steering wheel and pedals. The demo was actually quite limiting though, with players only able to sample the Tokyo Route 246 track for two laps in a Subaru Impreza WRC 2009. It would have been nice to get a feel for one of the super cars, but that will have to wait a little bit longer. More »

Sony Looking To Regain Momentum

Posted on 2009/05/25 BY DARRYL

Sony's showing at E3 2008 didn't exactly set the world alight, but it certainly wasn't lacking impact. They announced a few new games and a few new bundles for their existing systems, while trying to stress what they'd achieved since the PlayStation 3 had launched. However, since then, their sales momentum has actually shifted the other way and this year's E3 is extremely important for them to regain that momentum moving forwards. More »
