The game is part of the PSOne classics available on the system, and as such, won’t have any new features such as online play. It’s a [...]

GTA IV Comparison Video; 360 vs. PS3

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

For the eccentric fanboy, the always reliable GameVideos has a direct comparison between the two versions of the new Grand Theft Auto. The difference? Good luck finding any. Once could say the PS3 colors are slightly richer, but that could just as easily be the means of recording. There are also a few frame rate [...]

Ubisoft has delayed the release of pretentious first-person shooter Haze from early December to the first quarter of 2008, according to Gamasutra. The timed PS3 exclusive, Free Radical-developed shooter should be worth the wait, however, because it’s, like, totally a work of art, man.
