Xbox 360 Is Fallout 3’s Primary Platform
Posted on 2008 under News, PS3, Xbox 360 | 1 Comment18 Apr
Speaking to videogaming247, Peter Hines (Bethesda Marketing Boss) stated that the lead development format for Fallout 3 is in fact the Xbox 360.“The 360 is our lead development platform, so we got it working on that one first. I mean, we develop them all simultaneously, but one of them’s got to be the lead, so it was 360.”
I can hear the PS3 fanboys screaming bloody murder right about now. Or maybe not, considering the possibility that they played Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. That’s one title fans of the series would rather forget.

Posted on 2008 under PS3, Previews, Xbox 360 | 1 Comment10 Apr
Kotaku recently posted an article about multiplayer on Grand Theft Auto IV. Here’s a brief description of what to look forward to:
All but one of the multiplayer modes supports up to 16 players. (The co-op missions only support up to four.) The host has an amazing array of options that they can control. While setting up a game, the host can choose to modify the routine, like re-spawn times, weapon selections and friendly fire, or the unusual, like the time of day, the weather, how heavy the traffic is or how many people are on the street. You can even control police presence in your matches.

Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer Details Revealed
Posted on 2008 under PS3, Previews, Xbox 360 | 1 Comment16 Mar
Controversy aside, the Grand Theft Auto series is a shining example of how to make a single-player sandbox experience. It dropped you in the middle of a city with a myriad of things to do. Your greatest limitation is your life because there’s usually not enough time to do everything that you want to do in a single sitting.
For all its positive points, there is one thing that GTA has been lacking: multiplayer. It’s not a major downside, really. The games provide you with so much to do you don’t really notice that it’s missing until the end, when you’ve realized how cool it would be to whack somebody online. GTA IV will let you do just that, apparently. Here are some of the details:
Army of Two Reviewed: A Co-Op, Thinking-Man’s FPS
Posted on 2008 under PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360 | 1 Comment8 Mar
Opposable Thumbs has a review of Army of Two and it looks like it’s a winner. Amidst the competitive world of first-person shooters, Army of Two provides great co-op gameplay that requires players to think first and shoot later. Don’t let that deter you though. Just because I said you have to think means that you get less of the action. It’s an FPS through and through. You just can’t play it run and gun-style and expect to do well.
Flashy action like the back-to-back, Tequila Bomb-esque sequences that start in a hail of gunfire and end in an empty room of bodies and bullets will have action-loving gamers floored. On the surface, this is like the best summer action flick you’ve ever been to with a buddy.
