GTA 4 vs GTA Fan

Grand Theft Auto 4 has received great praise from fans and critics for its realism (just feel that femur give way before my bat, mmm what a crisp sound for a fine mornin’), but all is not well in Liberty City. VideoGamer.com has published a rant about Rockstar’s latest, which perhaps borders on being too […]

Valve Is “Not PS3 Developers.”

It’s probably not a big surprise to learn that Valve isn’t hip with the Playstation 3. Anyone who played EA’s port of The Orange Box can deduce as much. But speculation is best fortified with, like, quotes and stuff, so here’s Kombo’s story on the matter.
In an interview with CVG, Doug Lombardi noteth:
“We’re not […]

Iron Man is Flaccid

Iron Man is burning up the movie theatres with one of the most successful releases in movie historee, but his pathetic video game adaptation ain’t making any friends. What’s wrong with it? What’s always wrong with these movie-oriented cash-ins? Bad controls, repetitive environments and missions, rampant boredom in general.
If you’re interested, GameTrailers has a video […]

Squeenix: “No FF VII Remake, Everyone Go Away.”

Square-Enix has been torturing us slowly in celebration of Final Fantasy VII’s decade of existence. First there were gems like Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children, though we did receive a dose of painkillers through the Zack-oriented Last Order and Crisis Core.
Now it’s over. Time to change the linen and scrub the blood off the […]

Metal Gear Solid 4 With Extra Controllers

The prodigal rumble function has returned to the Playstation 3, and everyone is delighted about it. Except maybe Sony, which has tonnes of extra SixAxis controllers that are destined to rot in warehouses. But the Big S has a plan: It’ll be slipping a SixAxis into a new Japanese-exclusive bundle pack.
The bundle, which is called […]

Street Fighter IV: Shadaloo Returns

So maybe newcomers like Abel and El Wrestler Fancypants aren’t getting you excited about Street Fighter IV. Still, here’s a good reason to cheer up: lots of new Street Fighter IV screenshots, including M Bison and his original lieutenants from Shadaloo! It’ll be interesting to see what role they fill (hint: meat-stuffed punching bags).

Something Weird on the PS3

We all know that the Playstation 3 is powerful enough to become sentient and kill everyone within a mile radius. That’s what’s cool about it. What’s less cool is that games like the highly-anticipated Ghostbusters must be held back to make it as similar as possible to the Xbox360 version.
Terminal Reality President Mark Randel says:
“The […]

Kotaku: SixAxis Suxx On GTA 4

Ah ha ha, that title is the height of clever.
Once again, Sony’s half-baked attempt to coup the Wii with SixAxis motion controls crashes and burns…quite literally. Kotaku reports that SixAxis controls bring absolutely nothing to Grand Theft Auto 4 except “frustration and burning helicopter chassis.”
Brian Crecente says:
When Mike told me that he didn’t like the […]

Grand Theft Auto IV: Do You Care?

Keane Ng over at Kombo.com talks about his apathy towards the Grand Theft Auto series and what Grand Theft Auto IV is doing to make him excited.
I’m still unsure if I care about Grand Theft Auto anything. When I played GTA III, it made me terribly motion sick and I just never bothered with any […]
