So This Is Au Reviour

Mandrill — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:54:03 +0000

As I may have mentioned, I have a young son (18 months) he’s lovely really but as he gets older he’s becoming more and more labour intensive. Therefore I won’t be able to post as much as I have been doing in the past.

Mandrill — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:27:31 +0000

The countdown ended yesterday, I would have reported it then but I was up all night with an upset baby so spent most of Wednesday walking around like a zombie without the ability to string a coherent sentence together. The big announcement was actually a collection of announcements.

16 Player GTA? Yes Please

Mandrill — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:53:45 +0000

Someone let slip at a Playstation event in Toronto that GTAIV, due out early next year, is aiming to have 16 player online multiplayer, along with having the entirety of Liberty City open from the start of the game, doing away with the frustrating hoop jumping of earlier titles. No comment on the leak from Rockstar but you’d expect them to be playing their cards close to their chest. The more mystery and rumour ciculating about GTAIV the better from a marketing point of view.

Episode 2 Designers Pay Tribute To Lost

Mandrill — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:13:50 +0000

Lost, you either love it or hate it. The TV series which is a puzzle from beginning to end (which we are yet to see) seems to have some fans at Valve. Hidden in Half Life 2: Episode 2 are references to the series, two confirmed with possibly more hidden around the various maps.

This week’s Releases (UK)

Mandrill — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:33:25 +0000

No release list this week, there’s plenty out but I’ve come to the conclusion that my usual source for release dates is not very accurate. For instance it has The Orange Box down as coming out on the 19th when its actually out already. I’ll be emailing them and letting them know. So I am once more on the hunt for a site with accurate release dates, any suggestions are most welcome.
