Bulletstorm gameplay shown at GamesCom
It's a bit Duke Nukem, it's a bit Gears of War, and it's kinda bad-ass. I'm not entirely sure yet if it's my type of game, because what I'd coin as 'mindless shooters' generally don't interest me, but this looks atmospheric, energetic, cinematic and down-right gorgeous. Forget my jaded ranting though, a demonstration of gameplay has been shown at GamesCom, so you can make up your own mind. ...

Dead Space 2's space walk at GamesCom
Dead Space 2 looks to carry on all of what was loved in the original, but rips us out of those claustrophobic corridors and sends us hurdling into daunting, vast and eerily silent space. For a while, at least. See for yourself in this space walk demonstration streamed from GamesCom. ...

Mana Bar takes gaming and drinking along the East coast
Only 5 months ago did Australia's first gaming bar, Mana Bar, launch in Brisbane. I live a mere 30 seconds walk around the corner, and pass it each and every day to and from the train station. Unsurprisingly to me, it's always packed. The screens light up the bar with animated gaming ambiance and the button-mashing can be heard from the street.
What has been created here is an evolution and revitalisation of arcade culture, but without the need to insert coins. The promise and potential offered by such an establishment leaves any retro gamer that likes a drink all warm and fuzzy inside. As does the bourbon. Could we soon see the city streets of Australian capitals littered with like venues?

This final video developer diary for F1 2011 features Senior Producer Paul Jeal and Chief Games Designer Stephen Hood, talking about those aforementioned season updates.
