Experience Kane & Lynch Multiplayer from the inside. Be a fly on the wall as Kane briefs Glazer’s men – a team of criminal ex-pats – before a heist. Focus is essential and paranoia can quickly distract you. Without eyes in the back of your head you’ll never know if your teammate is also your biggest risk. Work together as a team and watch each other’s backs. But will the temptation of escaping the heist with the most loot be impossible to resist? The critically acclaimed Fragile Alliance Multiplayer is back with innovative new multiplayer modes, based on Greed, Betrayal & Revenge.
I haven’t really bothered saying much about Gran Turismo 5 so far, basically because I thought it was going to be the same old, highly polished, crap. That’s right, I’m a hater, but only because Gran Turismo is the worst racing game ever, due to it’s ‘bump and go slow’ collision mechanics. However if the new trailer is anything to go by, this may be about to change, although there does seem to be the usual Gran Turismo ‘cars never get damaged’ formula still in place.
Sony’s been a bit patchy in sending review material recently, but if a copy of Gran Turismo 5 comes my way, I’ll certainly be keen to put it through it’s paces and see if it can turn me into a believer.

A recent survey suggests that despite the ongoing growth of digital goods consumption, videogame consumers still prefer having their titles on physical discs.
A report by research firm Ipsos MediaCT (as reported by UK trade magazine MCV) says that over 64 percent of the over 1,000 people surveyed preferred to have their games on disc over having digital copies.
Interestingly, amongst the same respondents, only 45 percent preferred having their music on disc, and only 51 said they would rather have DVDs than downloadable movies.
A representative from the research firm said that the thriving pre-owned market is what is keeping consumers interested in physical games media. – 1up
I was visiting a friend over in Glenfield today and we had to pop out to the local Dick Smith to pick up some blank discs. Whilst there I was (as usual) drawn to the gaming section where I noticed that they were selling Crackdown 2 already (The NZ release date is July 8th). They didn’t seem too concerned when we pointed this out to them, so I guess if you’re keen to get your hands on Microsoft’s GTA killer early, you know where to go.
There is something about me..
