GTA IV Annoyances #1: AI? What AI?

Yeah, you must’ve heard that Grand Theft Auto IV is all that, but it doesn’t mean we should all be raving fanboys. Aside from the good stuff I’m churning out about the game, rest assured that there will be well-placed rants, like this post.
What am I going to lambast this time? Artificial intelligence or the […]

The joys of GTA IV #1: Liberty City is a breathtaking sight

Clearly, Niko Bellic is not the star of Grand Theft Auto IV. He may be the lead character in Rockstar’s latest murder simulator epic crime drama, but the pièce de résistance is sprawling Liberty City, which is modeled after The Big Apple, New York City.
According to Wikipedia, Rockstar sent full-time researchers to NYC twice during […]

Living the American Dream in GTA IV is about riding cabs ‘cause you can

I’ve just hit the jackpot in Grand Theft Auto IV, and it’s only going to get even better. Remember when Rockstar representatives said that the game is a progression of “rags to slightly-better rags”? I think the publisher’s powers-that-be should sack these reps because they don’t really know what they’re talking about.
At my current playthrough, […]

GTA IV How To’s: Performing hits in peace

One of Grand Theft Auto IV’s major highlights is the ability to roam a massive virtual city and do whatever one wants. Jack any vehicle? Check. Swim in the river? Check. Waste time by playing pool, surfing the ‘net, or shopping for clothes? Check.
On top of all these features, GTA IV is a third-person shooter […]

First impressions: GTA IV feels fresh with improved shooting

Grand Theft Auto IV still feels like a GTA game. You’re treated to the familiar tongue-in-cheek humor no matter what corner of virtual New York you look at, you still drive around a massive city, you still jack cars like there’s no tomorrow, and you still shoot people in the face.
However, the act of shooting […]

GTA IV is finally here!

Yes, it took a week but finally, Grand Theft Auto IV hits our local store shelves. There were no crazy lines that greeted me, no muggers out for my blood. I’ve managed to take a picture using an old phone; unfortunately, it doesn’t look so good when I transferred it to my PC.
The GTA IV […]

Gears of War 2 looks even better than the original

So you don’t have a 360. That’s too bad because Gears of War is going to have a sequel. We’ve shown you a teaser recently announcing this, but what you haven’t seen is how sweet part two is going to look. Good news: there’s a tech demo available, and you can watch it here:

Xbox 360 fans commend MS customer service, but are fine with console unreliability

I love the games in the Xbox 360. What’s not to love? You’ve got the best shooters like Bioshock, Gears of War, Halo 3 (despite my dislike of the previous installations, I actually like the latest one), The Orange Box, GRAW2, and I’m not even talking about the other genres yet.
What I don’t like about […]

Clive Barker’s Jericho review

If Clive Barker’s Jericho is capable of moving your bowels, then you may consider the game as art. However, the horror author’s second foray into video games is more reminiscent of a glossy Hollywood film—big on production value and budget, but rather shallow in depth.

It’s not clear up to what extent was Clive Barker’s […]
