It looks as if the first reviews for Haze are filtering through and leaving the proverbial glass half empty. There are only about 3 or so official reviews at the moment but suffice to say, the highest score it has received so far is a 65. Need I say more? This is without a doubt a surprisingly thunderous disappointment. When I say “surprising” I am referring to the look of shock which must be bleeding out of numerous Sony gamers, many of whom who were anticipating this First Person Shooter at least a little.
It looks as if Sony have been talking out of their backside once again with all the hype and promotional videos which they have published in the continual fashion of rarely fulfilling their wild prophecies (which attracted many to invest in their latest console in the first place). Talk about “fan service”, the only service their offering their fans so far appears to be a sharp kick where the sun doesn’t shine.
Hit the jump for the reviews as of yet… Read more »
Hello gamers. You may or may not have realised that something rather large is happening in the gaming industry in the next week or so. Something which is likely to define this generation of technology and set the bar for every developer out there. That large thing is called GTA 4 and it’s landing on Xbox 360 and PS3 on 29th April. Did you care to preorder this phenomenon? If not then you are, to put it simply, Screwed!
Don’t worry, If you still want to get it on release then there is still one hope… the Collector’s Edition. Although you have to bear in mind that you’d be shelling out a pretty hefty sum (£69.99) and it’ll probably be in stock within the next week or so (if you seriously think you can wait that long).
Anyway, this feature isn’t about whether you’ve pre-ordered GTA4 or not, it’s aimed at all of you (pre-ordered or not) who are hugely anticipating the game. Those who want to savour every last juicy morsel of information released before it’s monstrous launch. This is a round up of all the essential info released, from launch to present; rumours, reviews, previews and finally our own individual opinions on the upcoming ground-breaking game.
Before we start let us quickly walk you through the premise. In GTA4 you play as Eastern European Niko Bellic, who recently moved to America to start a new life after much coercing by his cousin Roman. His cousin fibbed that he was living ‘The American Dream” and that he was rich, when in fact he’s in pretty serious debt some very powerful people. He wants you to come and work for his taxi company to help him pay off his loans. Niko has committed some heinous crimes in his past but he’s prepared to put all that behind him. After he learns of Roman’s deception he throws all that away and vows to become top dog in the gritty, criminal world of Liberty City. Rockstar put it quite well themselves in the trailer below…
Daniel plays the role of Sony’s Christmas Ghosts whilst avoiding the savage jaw of Sean Millar
The Playstation 3 has had a pretty rough time. It was released a while after it’s next-gen primary rival, the Xbox 360 and as such, has had a bumpy ride so far. Few of the promised IPs and exclusives have materialised thus far and those which have been released have been disappointments of varying degrees - from the short, but sweet Heavenly Swordto the abomination which goes by the name of Lair.
It looks as if the first reviews for Haze are filtering through and leaving the proverbial glass half empty. There are only about 3 or so official reviews at the moment but suffice to say, the highest score it has received so far is a 65. Need I say more? This is without a doubt a surprisingly thunderous disappointment. When I say “surprising” I am referring to the look of shock which must be bleeding out of numerous Sony gamers, many of whom who were anticipating this First Person Shooter at least a little.
