Games of the week for 05/10/09: Ray Peacock edition

I am very late to the game, but I recently discovered the Ray Peacock Podcast thanks to community member Half Left. It kept me entertained on a boring flight to LA and I have to say that it’s the funniest bloody thing I’ve heard in a long time. The show is basically Ray Peacock and Ed Gamble, a pair of comedians, bullying and mocking ex-Eastendersstar Raji James with a complete lack of compassion....

GDC 10: Mount and Blade: Warband impressions

Paradox Interactive’s latestMount and Blade,Warband, might tickle KOEI fans in their special hidden place. The combat in particular has that breezy, disconnected feel of a hollowDynasty Warriorstitle. ButWarbandhas its share of differences. Foremost is the choice of its medieval setting, and of course, the class-based MP mode that support up to 64 players in a single match. I sawWarbandearlier this afternoon and left the demo unimpressed. The long and sweeping attacks of either melee class made for several uninspired battles against players participating in thegame’s beta....
