Access Episode 11

Time for some Friday fisticuffs now, as Access Episode 11 drops onto YouTube starring Soul Calibur V as Game of the Week. In a thorough hands-on with Namco-Bandai’s sidestepping brawler, the team try out the fresh-faced trio of newcomers that is Patroklos, Leixia and Natsu, plus get stabby with guest star Ezio Auditore. Don’t worry – old favourites Mitsurugi and Voldo are given worryingly special attention too.
Elsewhere on the show, Access pays a visit to Special Effect – a gaming charity set up to help disabled gamers play the games they love by making custom-built controllers. Charity founder Dr. Mick Donegan gives us the lowdown on the work the organisation has already been doing, plus you can hear how Prime Minister David Cameron got thrashed by racing enthusiast Shaz Hossain.
Access also chats to trouble-happy twins James and Oliver Phelps – otherwise known as Fred and George Weasely from the Harry Potter movies – as we celebrate the launch of The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 on blu-ray. You’ll never guess what James (or is it Oliver?) nominated for his favourite ever game. No really, you never will.
As always, there’s a glossy hi-def roundup of the best PS3 news and Store content – make sure to check out UFC fighter Rashard Evans looking particularly imposing.
