Grand Theft Auto 4 has been announced as a Guinness World Record holder for two categories: Highest Grossing Video Game in 24 Hours, and Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 Hours.
GTA 4 recorded a total of 3.6 million unit sales worldwide on its first day, which totals to roughly US$ 310 million in revenues. By comparison, Bungie’s Halo 3, the previous record holder, earned around US$ 170 million on its first day. It’s not just within gaming that GTA 4 reigns as king for that matter - its first-day sales records also beat out Spidey and Potter’s latest movie and books sales, respectively:
* Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 at US$ 60 million
* Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at US$ 220 million
Technical issues and controversy aside, you can’t deny that Grand Theft Auto 4 has already left its mark on the entertainment industry. Check back again in case we receive any further related news.
Some new Killzone 2 screens were recently released at Sony’s Playstation day event in London. As you can see from the screen above, the screens look fantastic. If you click on the images to view the full size, you’ll notice the amount of effort that’s going into this game. (No wonder it’s being released in Feb ‘09).
Anyway, enough of reading, more looking!

The rumours surfing around the web that Blu-ray will be introduced to the Xbox 360 can now be put to rest.
Microsoft officially released a statement regarding the issue, here’s what they said:
As we have stated, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360. Games are what drive consumers to purchase game consoles, and we remain focused on providing the largest library of blockbuster games available.
So, for now, it appears that Xbox 360 will not be seeing Blu-ray, ever!
So guys, this afternoon I have been working on making this video, it displays ~10 cheat codes which can be used in GTA IV for the PS3 and 360, unlocking you cars, motorbikes, other vehicles etc..
Are you as excited as us about the release of MGS4? A trailer has been released named “MGS4: Guns of the Patriots Revival trailer”, and it looks pretty awesome.
Here is the trailer:
Ah looks good doesn’t it? The video brings back the glory years of the franchise with gameplay from the first MGS games to the latest! We can really see how the game has been developed.
MGS4 is being released 12th June (fingers crossed that delays will occur) and the Beta testing for Metal Gear Online is now live.

On a side note, I have been playing GTA so much, hence not much news being posted! O_O Sorry, expect more this weekend!
With just a few more days until the game is released - GTA IV gets leaked.
Thousands of people are already downloading the game via torrents, and those who have a modded console (Xbox 360, PS3) will be able to have a headstart on the game before anyone else can.
The game file is surprisingly quite small considering the story mode will take you 30 - 45 hours to complete and the map supposedly takes one and a half hours to get from one side to the other with the game size being 6.36GB.
I’m sure Rockstar are annoyed, but what can they do right now? Nothing much.
That’s right folks. GTA IV gameplay footage has been leaked with just 6 days of left before the game finally gets released.
I have no idea how someone managed to get a copy of GTA IV already, nevertheless GTA:IV gameplay has been leaked and it’s here for you to view. The footage looks pretty good from what we can see of it. It’s not the best recording but it’ll have to do until April 29th!
Here is the video: (click read more, if you haven’t done so already in order to view the video)
Sony Computer Entertainment claimed that the ongoing Closed Beta test was to be “expanded” by an undisclosed number of users.
Because the closed beta is being pushed back even further, this means that the open beta/full version of Home will be pushed back further and further.
According to Sony’s top brass, Kazuo Hirai, the extension to the later half of 2008 was required to ensure that the Home experience is completely refined to the standards of the company.
Ah well, I guess it’ll be good when it finally gets released.
The rumors of GTA IV being delayed, and you guys not being able to play the game on the 29th are false. In a recent Take-Two Interactive stockholders meeting, it was announced that the game has already gone gold.
Take-Two Interactive’s CEO, Ben Feder, had announced that Grand Theft Auto 4 will not be delayed and the game is “in production and in trucks en route to retailers.” This is pretty much a guarantee that the game will be making its release date on April 29.
To make sure you get a copy of GTA IV on it’s release date, preorder a copy! Once you have done that, sit back, relax and wait for the 29th to get the game!
From the developers of Resident Evil 4, Capcom bring to you, - the 4th in its series - Devil May Cry 4. If you’ve played any of the previous Devil May Cry games before, you’ll certainly know that each game is packed full with non-stop action giving you an exhilarating feel towards the gameplay. This factor has not changed in Devil May Cry 4.
Devil May Cry 4 is brought to you in HD 720P at 60 frames per second. 60 frames per second will surely guarantee you a smooth, enjoyable gaming experience (So you don’t need to worry about the frame rate jumping and causing you to miss-time that sick combo when battling one of several bosses throughout the game!).Nero, is the main playable character who you will play as throughout the majority of the entire game. At the beginning of the game, Nero is equipped with 3 weapons; his Red Queen sword, Blue Rose revolver and the Devil Bringer (his demonic right arm). The Devil Bringer is used by Nero to pull himself towards enemies, pull enemies towards him, pack powerful punches etc, etc. Nero will keep all of these 3 weapons throughout the game - no upgrades or new weapons. Only using 3 weapons throughout an entire game may seem boring for some, but I can assure you it’s not. The amount of different combos and stylish enemy finishers that you can accomplish are outstanding.
As the game progresses you’ll definitely notice yourself almost addicted to the game’s gripping storyline. The bosses you battle throughout the story are quite a challenge and you’re going to have to pull off some some super cool combos to become victorious and beat each boss. If you aren’t able to kill the boss the first time round, who cares? Repeat the battle and you’ll get the chance to pull off some epic combos which are totally worth dying and repeating the boss battle for.
There is no multiplayer/online capabilities in Devil May Cry 4, but to be honest - the single player story is good enough. Once you’ve completed the game, you’ll most likely find yourself repeating missions and boss battles for the ultimate Devil May Cry experience which you’ve been longing to play for since Devil May Cry 3.If you’re interested in buying Devil May Cry 4, for the PS3 or Xbox 360, check out the links below:
