I rented a brand new 2008 Mercedes C-Class Sports Saloon in Black with AMG Styling over the bank holiday weekend. Gorgeous car, I want one badly! I put almost 400 miles on it too.

What's new in April 2008

Loving:
  • Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3) - gorgeous driving game for the PS3. Definitely the most realistic graphics I've seen in a drving game and more than manageable driving physics when using the handheld controller (rather than a steering wheel)
  • Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel (Xbox 360) - very nice gadget, the force feedback really means that it needs to be bolted down rather than rested on you lap. Great for Colin McRae: DIRT (Xbox 360) and Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360).
  • iPhone - first gen limitations aside (eg. No umts, hsdpa or gps) the iPhone has grown on me. So nice to have Safari (Flash support please!), and 16gb audio and video podcasts at hand to get through boring commutes. WiFi is gorgeously seamless, hoping on trusted networks automatically. Email client is much better than blackberry, with gorgeous rendering of html emails. Definitely not as quick to type on as BlackBerry, but so much sexier. Looking forward to proper Exchange support in firmware 1.2.
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (Xbox 360) - next release of my favourite 360 FPS. Excellent game, very playable great multiplayer.
