by Patrick Steen on April 29, 2008

gta_gr_04resolution-copy.jpg

It’s fun to compare consoles, especially when the comparison involves one of the biggest games of this generation. Grand Theft Auto IV has been littered with websites giving their opinions on which version looks best. Surprisingly, most had no inkling of each version’s native resolution.

Eurogamer are the first to speculate that GTA IV on the PS3 runs at 630p. When in fact, it doesn’t… It runs at 640p. Read more…

After two decades, the upcoming Ghostbusters game is like one of those nostalgic blasts from the past that lies dormant in your subconscious, like a river of pink slime or a hell-hound in your fridge, just waiting to burst out and go “boo” at the slightest provocation.

  • Wade Larson: Wow. A BILLION DOLLAR LOAN? How does that even work? Hm. Well, I guess I’m not too surprised that...
  • LC: I have to disagree, they are loud at no point when playing games do I not hear the fans. Jet engine is obviously...
  • DavidGX: It’s a Falcon Elite.. other than that, I couldn’t say. Not nearly as quiet as the Wii, but...
  • LC: did yours comes special with magic or did you add that yourself? lol
  • DavidGX: It does.
  • Meresin: The videos we’ve seen to date have been promising. I just hope they make the game run a bit more...
  • LC: so your xbox 360 doesn’t have fans?
  • madpuppy: Frankly, for Valve I think that the PC is their main money maker, with the excellent content distribution...
  • madpuppy: too..much..Jack..Bla ck, he is like the new Robin Williams, only not as funny or as good an actor.
  • DavidGX: I sit about… 3-ish feet from it. No issues here.
