With the Digital Comic service coming to PSP soon and Ben Templesmith, creator of the weirdly wonderful Wormwood, visiting London earlier this month, we decided to put two and two together and come up with a video. Ben very kindly took the time to speak to me outside his hotel in London’s Docklands. It’s a beautiful location that happens to be on the flight path to City Airport, which is why we had to make lots of cuts in the final edit.

Wormwood is not one of the Digital Comics launch titles but it will be arriving soon after. While we’re here, and as Adrianna and Pete (who I interviewed just before gamescom) will no doubt be reading your comments, which comics do you want to see included in the service?

Ratchet week continues today with a rather cosy sofa interview between myself and James Stevenson, Community Relations Manager at Insomniac. I asked you guys for some questions, and you certainly delivered. So excuse the length of the video, but I didn’t want to cut out any of your great questions.

James was on the last leg of his European media tour, having shown off Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time to press around the continent. I asked him to put together a diary of the trip for the blog, so look for the first part of that in the next day or so. In the mean time, check out this interview and prepare yourself for the release of the game later this week.

Last week, two gentlemen from Insomniac Games, T.J. Fixman and James Stevenson, came along to SCEE HQ to talk to journalists about Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, now that it’s tantalisingly close to release. I caught up with T.J., who has been a Senior Writer on the series since Tools of Destruction, at the tail-end of a gruelling schedule of interviews.

Here’s the whole thing in magical interweb-video form:

Before you cry foul play, the questions you all so willingly submitted last week have been asked — Jem issued them to James Stevenson, Community Manager at Insomniac, and that video will be published later this week. Great game, by the way. Took two weeks of lunch breaks to finish it.

Hello everyone,

We’ve been busily working on a new title here at Relentless Software. It’s called Blue Toad Murder Files and it’s coming to PSN in December. It’s the first time we’ve self-published a game so we’re really looking forward to it. Blue Toad is an episodic murder mystery game exclusively for the PlayStation Network.

Jem came down to our studio in Brighton a couple of weeks ago and put the game through its paces. He also interviewed us, as you can see below. We’ll be back on the PlayStation Blog soon with some more info and a new trailer, but if you’d like to find out a bit more before then you can head over to our website at www.bluetoadmurderfiles.co.uk.

We’re around in the comments to chat about the game (or, in fact, anything!) So come say “hi!”

Thanks!

David & Andy

Remember gamescom? I know, it feels like it was years ago now. We have a special interview that we shot at the show with none other than the head of Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima himself.

We’ve been itching to get this up for you and, after a few complications, it’s ready for you to have a peek at. Kojima-san talks to us in depth about the co-op features in his upcoming Metal Gear Solid PSP sequel, Peace Walker. He also discusses what he’d like to do next and confirms that a sequel to a certain beloved franchise is more a case of “when”, not “if”. We’ll let you find out for yourselves which it is in the video below.

Since this video was shot I’ve had my hands on the TGS demo of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and can confirm that what I’ve seen looks and plays brilliantly. The game’s 2010 release cannot come soon enough.
