GTA IV Shatters Sales Records! 2008-05-01 20:15:00 It has only been one day since the release of Gran Theft Auto IV, but the numbers have the look of a game that has been around for a month. With roughly over 2.5 million units sold in States, and over 1.4 million units in Europe, the total number is somewhere near 4.2 million units which generates at least $170M just on US soil...add almost that onto it with European and Asian sales and the number look staggering both unit and revenue-wise. If you were wondering, in US & surprisingly in UK, Xbox 360 outsold its Sony counterpart at a 3:2 rate, but Europe in general we see a mirror image of US by PS3 outselling 3:2 ratio. Considering how many PlayStations are out there, GTA sold more units per console on Sony.Source: Numerous reliable websites.

Snake Got Hot Flashes! 2008-05-01 19:03:00 In a recently released video, Hideo Kojima wants us to see that he threw in some gameplay from the Original Metal Gear Solid that was released back in 1998 for PSOne, which come as flashbacks to Old Snake
in the upcoming MGS4. Which don't come as a surprise to me, because the story kind of revolves around a little girl, who is said to be Sniper Wolf's daughter, plus the bosses of the game(The Beauty and The Beast Unit) are named after those in the first game(FOXHOUND). Also, another reference to MGS would be Meryl's Combat Unit is called The New FOXHOUND.

GTA IV Xbox360 / PS3 Comparison 2008-05-01 16:38:00 Just yesterday, I had a friend over to bring his Xbox
360 version of GTA IV, so I could compare both consoles and see who comes on top. After playing for about an hour on both systems, I...uhm, We came to the conclusion that, both consoles are equal. Basically, on my TV, there were no visible diffrences while playing both on 1080i resolutions, except of course some pop ins on xbox, but thats because ps3 version loads a 3gig file on hard drive to minimize both that and load times. Audio-wise both systems deliver stellar performances. On a visual note though, xbox seems to be little more cleaner overall, but ps3 version has better smoke effects during explosions.Overall, both parties have nothing to b!*c# about...this is GTA at its finest.

Iron Man Review 2008-05-04 11:47:00 Iron Man, has always been one of my favorite superheroes, he is just like Batman; a self-made superhero with no powers really, just a great mind and lots of money to buy all the things he needs to fight crime... On Friday, I went to see the movie, Iron Man, and I'd say it is tons of fun, with a few hints of a sequel in works. Then on Saturday afternoon, 12:15Pm exactly, I received my copy of Iron Man, the excitement was hard to bear...so, without wasting a second I went in...popped the CD in my PS3 and within 5 minutes I stopped to check if I got the PS2 version by mistake...And by 1:30Pm the game was back in its envelop sealed shut waiting to ship back on Monday. I am not even going to dignify this game with a full review.Graphics: 4I literally have seen better graphics on PlayStation 2. Read more:Iron Man

GTA IV Review 2008-05-06 16:05:00 I know, I know...I said the review would be up by Saturday. But, it turned out I underestimated just how much one can do in Liberty City. Well, without further ado, I give you my review of Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty City.When the game first starts, we get to see our protagonist Niko Bellic, lovable Eastern European guy with a chip on his shoulder, coming to US(Liberty City to be precise) on a cargo ship. Although his background is unclear; we know that, he used to be in the Army of a made-up Eastern European country that was ravaged by war, and his squad got ambushed because of an inside job, and now he is in the U.S., to find the guy who sold them out. Within the hour of his arrival Niko realizes, his cousin Roman, who picked him up from the port, isn't really living the good life as he

Haze Review! 2008-06-04 15:46:00 Announced back in E3 ’06, Haze has been in development by Free Radical, the creators of N64’s acclaimed shooters Golden Eye and Perfect Dark, for years. It was first announced for all, Xbox360, Ps3 and Pc. Later on Free Radical dropped 360 and PC versions of the title. But, focusing on one system did not really make any difference to the end result.

Wars...and I have to say, I am a huge fan of the series, or I should say I was until I switched to consoles to get my daily dose of games...Since then, it has been one disappointment after another. I do recognize that Id doesn't really work on console versions themselves, but rather let other studios handle the task, but I'd expect them to be mor Read more:Quake Wars

Battlefield: Bad Company Preview 2008-06-15 12:15:00 Last week, I downloaded playable demo of BF: Bad Company
. And I've been playing online ever SINCE! It may not have the realism found in Call of Duty 4, but it sure has a lot of fun packed in. First of all, being able to destroy walls to get to my objective is probably the most satisfying feature in a multi player game(even though, I can't drop in on people by blowing up the ceiling :{ ).
