It's a little late, but here is our selection of our favourite shows published on GRTV during the month of October. Shot in a number of different countries during a number of different circumstances they give you some idea of the range GRTV is capable of.

7. Richard Jacques Interview

Filmed: Playfest, Ubéda (July)
Published: October 22

We've portioned out the composer interviews from Playfest at a slow, but determined pace. Our Spanish editor-in-chief David Caballero met up with veteran video game composer Richard Jacques who is perhaps still best known for his longtime working relationship with Sega that included work on games like Headhunter, Metropolis Street Racer, several Sonic games and a track for Jet Set Radio.

6. Hitman: Absolution - Gameplay Director Christian Elverdam

Late September Rasmus Lund-Hansen paid IO Interactive a visit to have a closer look at the upcoming Hitman: Absolution. In the second of two interviews conducted at the visit he talked to gameplay director Christian Elverdam about crafting the Hitman experience and how it has evolved in this the latest instalment of the popular franchise.

5. Far Cry 3 - Lead Designer Jamie Keen

Filmed: London (October)
Published: October 10

Gillen caught up with Far Cry 3 lead designer Jamie Keen for a long and chat about the full Far Cry 3 experience and how the developers what to insert doubt and questions into the minds of the players as they shoot down their enemies. It's an example of where a seated interview sometimes makes for a more relaxed conversation. We typically prefer standing interviews, especially when pressed for time as the answers come out shorter and more to the point, but in this case sitting down was the right choice.

4. Impire
Yves Bordeleau (Cyanide Studio)
Filmed: Gamescom, Cologne (August)
Published: October 16

Impire is a very interesting re-interpretation of the genre spurred on by Dungeon Keeper by in the 90's. We caught up with studio head Yves Bordeleau in a Cologne hotel room during Gamescom, and as one of the last videos to be edited and published from the German show we onlined the interview in October.

3. Review: Dishonored
Thomas Blichfeldt & Rasmus Lund-Hansen (Gamereactor)
Filmed: Copenhagen (October)
Published: October 17

One of the more important releases of October was without a doubt Arkane Studios' Dishonored. Rasmus really "luuuvs" it and tells us all about the first person supernatural assassination game. "Definitely play this if you're remotely interested in sneaking up and killing people." Yes sir, we shall.

2. Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Cockpit 458 Italia Xbox 360 - Review
Lorenzo Mosna
Filmed: Monza (October)
Published: October 23

Who better to review a Ferrari wheel than our Italian editor-in-chief Lorenzo Mosna? Noone, that's who. Well, it's not just a wheel, but a full "cockpit" in this case - a great idea for those looking for an improved racing experience without the need to rearrange the living room. Anyway, it's something different and that's why it's on this list - a hardware review.

1. Need for Speed: Most Wanted Bonanza
Matt Webster (Criterion), Arrtu Rajala (Gamereactor), Julia Pirlich and Sebastian Hornung (Porsche)
Filmed: London (October), Leipzig (October)
Published: October 15, 18, 22 & 29

In many ways October was the month of Most Wanted on GRTV. No less than two interviews with executive producer Matt Webster, a talk with Porsche representatives, gameplay footage and a video preview starring our Finnish racing phenom Arttu Rajala. Enjoy the ride!
