Steven at GameSpew writes: "Ive always slightly distrusted the alpha male fascination with cars and collated hours of supporting evidence from the antics of this unusual pair. The most startling thing about their behaviour is that they didnt even complete races. All they did was tinker with cars, bash them about on track for a lap or two and then enthuse about the extra torque theyd achieved through some infinitesimal adjustment of an engine setting. They would turn the volume up and listen to the sound of engine revs with the dreamy attentiveness of a romantic attending to lovers whispers. This was Gran Turismo. A game made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. A game beginners could play and experts could love. A game that set a new benchmark for the racing genre. A game that changed our lives."

Rich at GameSpew writes: "So, as an avid PlayStation 4 owning adventurer youve completed The Witcher 3, seen all it has to offer, and still have a craving for more gritty open world action. What title do you turn to next? Theres not much choice really aside from the disappointingly dull Elder Scrolls Online and the decidedly average Arcania: Gothic 4. But never fear, Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition is here to fill the void, or at least, try to. While this absorbing journey into distant lands is largely enjoyable, it has numerous issues that hold it back from being on the same level as CD Projekt Reds magnum opus."

Jack Small at GameSpew writes: "You know youre off to a good start when you wake up in the middle of a dojo to a woman as old as time sipping steaming hot coffee and asking you to throw discs at crash test dummies to a soundtrack of old school arcade music. Just another average day at the office, right? You thought wrong. DiscStorm is a journey unlike any other where youll play ring-around-the-rosy with flesh-eating rats, go toe-to-toe with a mummy that just doesnt want to die, and ultimately die a dozen times because your own disc came reflecting right back at you even after killing a whole wave of zombies. The idea is simple: throw discs, kill things, survive. Its one of the easiest concepts youll ever play this side of the millennium yet itll be harder than any of the games youve been wearing your thumbs out on recently."

Taylor at GameSpew writes: "Some genres just never die. Thats not to say some shouldnt a wizened sage once prophesied the demise of the dating sim, but unfortunately this has yet come to pass. Nevertheless, the side scrolling shootem up, also known as the shmup, has been steadfastly plugging along. With the help of Kickstarter, independent Brazilian developers Cyber Rhino Studios are attempting to bring the shmup back to its former glory in the form of Gryphon Knight Epic, although they might be overcompensating with that title."

Rich at GameSpew writes: "Forgoing the clichéd boy saves world storyline in favour of something more grounded in reality, Celestian Tales: Old North is a JRPG that attempts to stand out from the crowd. Luckily for its developer, Ekuator Games, the gambit pays off, and matched with high production values and old school feel this is quite possibly the best traditional RPG Ive played in recent years. What first strikes you as you begin to play Celestian Tales is just how beautiful it looks. Environments have that classic 2D RPG look but are superbly created and are resplendent with detail; creating a sense of nostalgia yet impressing with their crisp clarity. Characters are similarly impressive, with each member of your party having their own unique and charming appearance. Even more beautiful than the visuals however is the sumptuous soundtrack that accompanies the game; each track marries the location or situation you are in perfectly. In fact, I found the whole audio-visual ex...

Rich at GameSpew writes: "Started in 1998, the Colin McRae Rally series by Codemasters was a pioneer of the realistic rally simulator genre, driving itself to both great critical and commercial success. Developed with the help of the titular Colin McRae, who sadly passed away in 2007, the series saw its name changed to Dirt in the same year, a move made maybe to reflect the inclusion of a whole host of alternative rally categories such as Raid and Hillclimb. Dirt 2 introduced even more event categories thrown into the mix, but it was Dirt 3s inclusion of a gymkhana mode that pushed many long term fans over the edge, feeling that the series had strayed too far from its rally sim roots."

Its a mass transportation creator and simulator in which players have to build an integrated transport system in some of the worlds largest cities, juggling limited resources and trying to meet the requirements of an ever-expanding location."

Paris Games Week kicks off in... well... Paris, France this October, and the PlayStation manufacturer will be holding a media briefing at the expo.

Sony has started sending out invites to select members of the press, detailing its "PlayStation Media Preview," which will air on Jeux Video on October 27 at 5 PM UK time, 9 AM PT. Here's a look at the invite that was sent to GameSpot (I'm still furiously refreshing my email inbox in the hopes of receiving one myself!).

Sadly, Sony offered no hint as to what it will be showing, but that isn't going to stop us from speculating what the house of PlayStation may have in store for fans. Seeing as how the event takes place in France, in incredibly close proximity to Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream, perhaps we'll get a glimpse at its new project.
