Ok Ok i know its only by 1 week but i had gone and got myself super pumped about condemned 2 but here is the kicker…………. Its now out on the exact same day as Dark Sector AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

it seems like whatever games i have the remotest interest in seem to gravitate towards each others release date, however upon reflection i have decided to treat this as a blessing rather than a curse because……….. thats right im gonna get both lol.

Anyone who knows me probably expected this anyhow but seeing as i have £35 worth of vouchers to spend it means i only have to actually pay for one of them so WOO HOO more achievement points for me.

Now I don’t know whether or not I’m being a bit slow here, or whether I’ve been hiding under a rock and everyone already knew this, but I didn’t so I thought I’d make a post about it.

There’s a new trailer for GTA 4 coming on 27th March 2008.

The trailer’s title is “Good lord, what are you doing? AKA Everyone’s a rat”

HMV are offering 1000 MS Points for free if you pre-order the 360 version of the game. Game and Gamestation (who are part of Game now anyway) are offering double reward card points, 500 MS points and 4 exclusive art cards. All 3 retailers promise to have the game with you on day of release. Pretty good deals there. My copy is  already pre-ordered with Game and has been for some time now.

Woot!

Peter Moore, the guy in charge of EA Sports has confirmed that the company are working on no less than 8 new titles for the Wii.

In his March 14th update on his blog he said:

” I’ve seen speculation the past few days about the comments we’ve made recently about new IP coming this year from EA SPORTS. While we’re still a couple of months away from any official new game announcements, I’m encouraged by the interest and excitement. As I’ve said many times over the past few months, as EA SPORTS looks to expand our brand and capture new audiences, developing new intellectual property - such as FaceBreaker and future unlicensed titles - will be a key component of that strategy. As an extension to those comments, and coming fresh out of our sku plan reviews of last week, I can tell you we now have EIGHT titles in development for the Wii, testament both to the global impact of that console currently in the global marketplace, as well as to our desire to attract more consumers to experience EA SPORTS games, no matter their experience playing games nor their prowess with a traditional controller. “

With it’s unique method of control the Wii is perfectly suited to sports games, but so far most of the titles have been lacklustre (with the exception of Wii Sports of course). Hopefully EA will deliver something fresh and new to play on our Nintendo consoles.

Facebreaker does look awesome…

The developers the awesome looking PS3 title Little Big Planet have revealed that the game is getting close to alpha stage in it’s development in their latest blog post.

“Basically this means all the cool stuff we said will be in there should be playable, even if it isn’t pretty enough to release. The game seems to change every day at the moment and it is very exciting to be able to sit down and play what feels more and more like a complete experience.”

This game looks awesome and is definitely a day of release purchase for me. The wife wants it too!
