GTA, GTA, GTA!

GTA is everywhere. Grand Theft Auto 4 has to be the most anticipated game at the moment. About a week away from release, this game has already doing lots of rounds in the media and stirring up it’s own pre-release hype and paranoia. Here is a list of articles that are rapidly being shared on social bookmarking websites:

• Shacknews.com posted a video that shows off the graphics and physics engine for the game. Euphoria as they call the engine has been developed by NaturalMotion.

• The Variety.com runs a short story about how the critics have already started decrying the violence in the game. While the violence in the game sells to a targeted market, there is choice people have and it is there’s to make. No one is forcing the game down their throats.

• IGN.com reviewed the game for us, and has given it an astounding 10/10. Read the review here.

• GamesRadar.com has an interesting article about how kids can still play GTA 4 and list all the 6 reasons they think make the game so playable. They also take subtle jabs at politicians, critics and parents in the process.

• I don’t really know who does this, but almost all of the time a major game is about to be released, there happens to be a major leak of the game into black market. BlooDLusT shared with us a link that mentioned one such online leak, last week. A publicity stunt? May-be…

• Kotaku’s news story deals with how Microsoft is reconfiguring XBLive servers to avoid massive spikes like the ones they faced on CoD4 and Halo 3 releases.

The is due to be released on April 29th of this year, on PS3 and XBox360, and after a not so popular San Andreas, it is hoped that this game, a recreation of the darker Manhattan, is worth it’s salt. The game will feature multiplay-ability over online services like Microsoft’s XBoxLive. Saddly, this service is unavailable in Pakistan.
