The last Gran Turismo mini-release, HD Concept, ended up being very good. Removed from the typically dismal AI competition and focused on one very good track, Eiger Nordwand, getting the most out of every car proved very enjoyable - especially when you factored in the Drift Trial element, which took GT's exacting race model on a tour of Project Gotham-style power-sliding demands.

Dear old (Bandai) Namco and its dear old light-gun shooter games. Bless its little socks. Still partying like it's 1996 in the staunch belief that there's nothing quite like wielding a plastic weapon at a screen and blamming away at scripted perps until your carpal tunnels beg for mercy.

There are two people at Tokyo Game Show I feel sorry for. One of them is me, and the other is the NiGHTS woman on the SEGA stand. I feel sorry for me because I'm in the middle of an horrendous cold, with a soaring temperature, and after shaking my way through endless queues on the show floor my fingers are about as steady as tissue paper in a gale, and there's so much sweat on my forehead that - to borrow from Mitchell & Webb - I probably look like I'm in the midst of some sort of gritty smack battle.

My bosses will no doubt argue that the ability to compose What's New on a train stranded at Watford Junction on the way back to Brighton that doesn't even go to Brighton and will involve switching at Gatwick and probably getting home at 10.30pm is a fantastic thing and a cause for celebration. I am putting that in italics in the hope that they will glance only at it and not this bit about how I disagree and it's rubbish and I wish I was safe at home tucked up in wine.
