PS3 GTA IV 'Not Next-Gen'

News has just filtered in that the Playstation 3 version of Rockstar's latest crime, murder and sex simulator is in actual fact not next-gen.

The game runs at 630p rather than the Xbox 360's 720p, making the PS3 version of GTA IV look almost as bad as a Wii game.

Check out the comparison below.

Echochrome to Receive BBFC 18 Rating

This image has not been altered in the slightest.

I have no idea what Echochrome plays like yet but I've been looking forward to it for a while. There's an English language demo available either today or tomorrow or sometime soon at least.

Here's hoping it's not shit.

Bourne Conspiracy: About as Exciting as a Wet Piss Sandwich

Excellent fight scene in which Bourne realistically fights several men one at a time while the others stand and watch. Listen out for the spack who gets halfway through shouting "He's getting away" before Bourne, who isn't getting away but standing directly in front of him, smacks him in the gob.

Other things to watch out for:

Bourne shooting a man who is already dead.

Bourne having a bit of a fit as he hides behind a corner.

Bourne brandishing a shotgun as he jumps through the glass windows of a speeding train - keeping in with the realism of the films.

Likeness of Jeremy Beadle's Reanimated Corpse Found in Quake Wars

LOOK AT HIS HAND!

What on Earth is This?

I just found it on my hard drive. It looks shite.

"Exciting" New Screen-Shot of Harry Potter and the Something Something.

Sigh. When will they learn that all we really want is a photo-realistic Emma Watson with upskirt capabilities?

Grand Theft Auto: Attack of the Clones

Just over a week to go until the imminent release of GTA4, so I thought I'd remind you of what you could be playing if you save your money and wait just a little bit longer.

Saint's Row 2!



Like GTA except... well it's like GTA but it has more focus on... Right, it's like GTA.

This is Vegas!



It's like GTA except it's set in Las Vegas - something which no Grand Theft Auto has ever done. Except maybe San Andreas. Oh.

The Wheel Man (Wheelman?)



No it's not about a super-hero shaped like a wheel, it's the newest game from Vin Diseasel. You play a man who has to drive a car really fast - and possibly furiously - through Barcelona. The catch? You can actually get out and roam the world on foot in third person! Imagine that!

Despite the rather obvious dose of sarcasm there is one area in which these games blow GTA4 out of the water.

None of them feature Ricky Gervais.

More Excellent Games Coverage at MSN.Com

Which celebrities look like video game characters?

That's what MSN is asking this week, and although Eric Clapton may well look a bit like Gordon Freeman, there are a couple of questionable entries in there;



Really? David Bowie and Leon S. Kennedy? Bowie is about 100 years older than Leon. Surely Leonardo DiCaprio would be a better choice, he even has the same first name.



Wow that was a difficult choice, let's choose someone who's actually played Lara Croft for a short period in her career, and then acknowledge it at the bottom of the image. Anybody would've been better than choosing an actual Lara Croft model. Nigella Lawson? Sophie Winkleman? Anyone with brown hair and tits?

I'd rant about this more, but the tech editor behind it is Jane Douglas, a woman, and a mildly pretty one at that:



I say pretty I mean, I wouldn't say no, probably. Come to think of it you never see any lower than the top of her shoulders. For all I know she could have spindly robotic chicken legs attached to the base of her torso, or worse - she could be in a wheelchair!

Further research shows that she is in fact a brothel-keeper from the 18th century, though it's possible it could be a different woman.
