Yahtzee reviews Haze and doesn’t hate it as much

Here’s something one should pay attention to when watching one of Benjamin “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s video reviews: the guy is not big on praising games that belong to the FPS genre. If Yahtzee doesn’t hate (place shooter title here) as much as Turok, then the fanboy in you would likely deem it as worth the purchase. […]

Why I trust GameTrailers’s Haze review

GameTrailers has finally given its two-cents’ worth on Haze, a PS3-exclusive shooter that hasn’t been doing very well in the reviews department. Among the verdicts you’ll see, this video is perhaps one of the more grounded.

Haze multiplayer ad: Worst. Clip. Ever.

You’ll probably hate me for posting this, but the following promotion video for Haze is perhaps the worst I’ve ever seen. The acting is terrible, the script is tasteless, and the supposed jokes are not funny.

The Haze demo really does exist

It’s confirmed. The Haze demo does exist. The latest PlayStation Store update says so, at least. According to the announcement, the demo lets you play the beginning of the Haze campaign in single player or coop mode. Be ready to put your download in the background because the demo is a hefty 1.43GB.
I have a […]

Haze four-player coop demo coming today?

According to CVG, Sony will launch a Haze demo on PSN later today. The big question: is this four-player coop demo for real? Last time we heard of such news rumors, it was the Spanish PS3 website that supposedly showed the announcement. Well, this tale was unceremoniously quashed thanks to Babel Fish.
Until I see with […]

Korn’s exclusive Haze track now has video

Remember that bit about nu-metal band Korn writing a song for Haze, the PS3-exclusive shooter? Now that my view of Haze has been upgraded from “meh” to “rental,” I’m not sure what to think of Korn’s song, which incidentally, we found a video of.

Haze video preview shows compelling features

Frankly, I’ve always been skeptical of Haze, the PS3 exclusive being developed by Free Radical Design because it looked like a poor man’s version of Crysis when facing the game’s vegetation. I felt that there wasn’t any major feature that compelled me to get the upcoming FPS when it comes out next month. At least […]

Haze screenplay is over 1K pages in length

Haze writer Rob Yescombe shares that he aims to “convince everyone that Haze is awesome.” At least, that’s what the marketing slave’s writer’s do-list says. As you’d expect, Yescombe has a lot of things to say about Haze, the PS3-exclusive FPS being developed by Free Radical Design. You can watch all of it in this […]

Korn writes an exclusive track for Haze

I thought my indifference for Haze would never get any worse. CVG recently revealed that Korn, that nu-metal band, has written an exclusive track for the seemingly-generic shooter.

The song will debut over the radio and in videos next month.

Funny how these two ended up having some sort of connection. Here’s how they’re wired […]

This shooter’s a Haze in the crowd

More and more first-person shooters are coming out and Haze, a PS3 exclusive being developed by Free Radical Design, is just one of them. Have a look at Haze’s jungle gameplay:

Is it just me, or is this game (at least the jungle part) a poor version of Crysis? The video also had a […]
