News Guys, Errr, Just To Let You Know: Max Payne 3 Is Still A Thing
Completely out of the blue, Rockstar's released the first new screenshots of Max Payne 3 in two years
The images — which were attached to a Tweet stating "he's coming" — appear to be pulled from a new trailer of some sort. The game's been delayed multiple times since its announcement. If we were betting men, we'd put money on a new...
News Private Take-Two Casting Call Outs Returning Grand Theft Auto Character

Rumour Sony To Showcase Rockstar's Agent At E3
Let's be honest, we all figured Rockstar's PS3-exclusive Agent was dead
Announced at 2009's E3 with nothing more than a logo to its name, neither Sony nor Rockstar has mentioned the game since. But questionable sources claim the platform holder are set to showcase "jaw dropping" footage of the game at this year's E3. Plausible? Yes...
News There'll Be No Collector's Edition For L.A. Noire, Confirms Rockstar
Rockstar's confirmed that there will be no collector's edition for L
A. Noire</a> when the game releases in May. It's a semi-refreshing change for an industry that demands any remotely popular game franchise must have a special edition. Of course, it's not a first for Rockstar — Red Dead Redemption also launched without a special edition...
News There's Definitely Still A Touch Of Uncanny Valley To L.A. Noire
L
A. Noire</a> screenshots are pretty hit or miss. While the game looks absolutely amazing in motion, the still shots can look a bit... Odd. It's, of course, the faces. They look like they've been stuck on with a Pritt-Stick. It reminds us of Goldeneye 64. Remember how the guards had a photographs for faces? Yeah, that was weird.</em>
Report Rockstar Didn't Enter Red Dead Redemption Into The BAFTAs
There's a bizarre omission in last night's BAFTA results: Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption is nowhere to be seen
It wasn't even a nomination in fact. Why is that? According to the BAFTA's chief operation officer, Kevin Price, it's because Rockstar didn't enter. "We dont have the right to automatically enter a videogame, he said. We...
News L.A. Noire's Campaign Is Roughly 25 Hours In Length
Hopefully nobody will be moaning about the length of L
A. Noire's</a> single-player campaign, as a report on PlayStation Lifestyle pitches the experience at about 25 hours in length. Apparently that time-span relates purely to the main campaign, and not side-missions and cases that help to flesh out the secondary characters.
News Grand Theft Auto IV Shifts An Extraordinary 20 Million Copies
Don't ever forget: Grand Theft Auto is big, big business
Despite it's brand-name dominance dipping slightly to the prominence of the Call Of Duty franchise, Take-Two has revealed that Grand Theft Auto IV has still managed to sell a whopping 20 million copies to date. That really is an extraordinary tally since the game's April 2008 release. In fact,...
News Ok L.A. Noire... We All Know You Look Amazing, You Can Stop Teasing Now!
Another year, another Rockstar game, another potential game of the year
The PR cycle is now in full-flow for L.A. Noire. Everytime a new trailer pops into our inbox we can't help but wish that May release date would come sooner. It kinda reminds us of last year, when Rockstar employed the exact same strategy for Red Dead Redemption. We all remember...
Rumour Did The Cast Of The Next Grand Theft Auto Just Leak Onto The Internet?
Grand Theft Auto V could be codenamed Rush
That's according to a Hollywood casting call picked up by video game spy Superannuation . The call includes a number of character descriptions, revealing a rag-tag group of personalities befitting of any Grand Theft Auto experience. Sounds like the misfits will be dropped into a modern-day Los Angeles...
News Confirmed: L.A. Noire Still (STILL!) Looks Amazing
Argh
The music. The visuals. The animation. The premise. Everything about Rockstar's L.A. Noire looks so darn good. The latest trailer details one of the game's additional missions, available with pre-orders from GAME in the UK and GameStop in the US. Sure it looks pretty macabre — we're not sure we could hack this detective lark — but, man, it...

News This Is What L.A. Noire's Box Looks Like...
Team Bondi's crime detective title, L
A. Noire</a>, is due out on May 17th in North America and May 20th in Europe. It's a tired cliche, but we cannot wait. Rockstar seems to be making a habbit of scooping the game of the year every 12 months.
News ALL ABOARD THE L.A. NOIRE HYPE TRAIN, DEPARTING NOW! CHOO-CHOO!
We've been critical of Team Bondi's L
A. Noire</a> in the past, but we're finally well and truly aboard the hype train. This. Looks. Incredible. The first gameplay footage (embedded above) shows off both the free-roaming GTA-esque action, and some of the interrogation options. Starting life as a Sony funded PlayStation 3 exclusive, it makes...
News Ok, Now We're Excited For Rockstar's L.A. Noire
We've been a little harsh on L
A. Noire</a> lately. The focus on the game's technology has really taken us away from the core of what's been developed here, and for that we apologise. The latest trailer for L.A. Noire has reminded us that behind Team Bondi's facial animation technology, there's actually going to be a video game. And it's...
News L.A. Noire Confirmed For May 20th Release In Europe
Rockstar's just slapped a big official release date stick on L
A. Noire</a> with the words "May 20th" clearly marked down in red Sharpie. A leaked trailer confirmed a May 17th release date for North America over the weekend. All makes sense now, eh? There's a new trailer due this afternoon. L.A. Noire breaks new ground for us,...
News These L.A. Noire Screenshots Are All About People's Faces
We're beginning to wonder if there's anything else to L
A. Noire</a> other than "OMGZ LOOK HOW GOOD THE FACES ARE WITH OUR MOTIONSCAN TECHNOLOGY!" Every single screenshot, trailer and piece of PR has focused on the same thing. The faces. Look at the goddamn faces. Y'know guys, we think Rockstar want us to look at the faces. As it...
News L.A. Noire Sports Over 50 Hours Of Dialogue... 50 Hours!
Team Bondi's Brendan McNamara has lofted that L
A. Noire</a> sports over 50 hours of dialogue: We captured over 50 hours worth of dialogue in total, all using MotionScan its equivalent to about two full seasons of a TV show, he told IGN. Each case has its own twists and turns depending on the choices you make, leading you down...
News More Crazy People Create Trash Movie Entirely In Grand Theft Auto IV
If crazy people aren't making unofficial Killzone card games, then it appears they are making feature-length films in Grand Theft Auto IV
The Trashmaster, embedded after the jump, is a full 90-minute movie created by Mathieu Weschler. It took him two-years to create the movie. Insane. We watched the opening and it's actually surprisingly well done...
News Feign Excitement: Call Of Duty: Black Ops Is The UK's Best Selling Game Of 2010
Surprise!
We nearly called it and then we were like, nah, too crazy. Who'd have thought Call Of Duty: Black Ops would become the UK's best selling game of 2010? Our money was on the Nintendo Wii's Just Dance. We were close. That came in second. But blimey. Black Ops — crazy that. Gran Turismo 5 fared pretty well, coming third on the PlayStation...
News There's More Than A Hint Of Uncanny Valley In This L.A. Noire Trailer
Look, the tech behind L
A. Noire</a> is clearly absolutely phenomenal. We get that. At the same time, the game just looks weird. Because the technology is so amazing and the facial capture is so realistic, the crappy looking character models just make everything look weird. We hope the rough edges are just a result of early development or...
News New L.A. Noire Trailer Is Good, Fine, Serviceable, Alright, Two-Squares, Whatever
We hopped onto Twitter shortly after the embargo for L
A. Noire's</a> latest trailer lifted and couldn't really fathom the trend of, "OMFG L.A. NOIRE IS TEH BEST THINGZ EVER," that filled our stream. It looks good, for sure. The tone's neat and the facial animation is incredible. Outside of that we're not quite sure what...

News Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Goes Live In Europe, Plus Members Get Discount
PlayStation Plus is the gift that keeps giving
Honestly, we totally get why people are against it, and at the end of the day that's fine; it's a completely optional service, either you want it or you don't. But with yesterday's Killzone 3 beta and today's 20% discount on the Red Dead Redemption DLC we'd already planned to buy, it all starts to add...
News There Are TV Ads For Downloadable Content Now? What Madness Is This?
We know that Red Dead Redemption's "Undead Nightmare" pack is a big deal
The sheer number of emails we've had from Rockstar PR confirm that much. But is this the first case of DLC being promoted on TV? Did the GTAIV DLC get the same treatment? Either way - it's kinda mad.

News Stop Moaning About Zombies Yo, This Red Dead Redemption "Undead Nightmare" DLC Looks Rad
Zombies are so bloody divisive right now
People love them but hate them at the same time. See, because we all love zombies so much, game developers have decided to put them in everything. And that's pissing some people off. We reckon people should get over it. Yes, it would be nice to see something different from time to time, but whatever. We can't...
