EA Wanna GTA

Electronics Arts have proposed a takeover of, Grand Theft Auto publisher, Take Two. EA are crazy. Not in a bad way, but in an "i love money" sorta way.


Basically all it boils down to, is that EA now want to publish GTA IV themselves. There the big guys and GTA is the big game. It's not such a crazy idea but, it's just come as a bit of a surprise, seeing as the game's release is just around the corner. I think it'll be kinda weird if EA do end up releasing GTA IV, the cover just wouldn't look right with a bunch of EA logos plastered across it. They might even try to add a few last minute real life adverts into the game, a la Burnout Paradise. There's still hope though as Take Two have formally rejected the offer, to which EA announced they have left it open. Check out the whole story here.

Perhaps i'm being a little harsh on EA, they did a good job releasing Orange Box and managed to let the game art own the box cover, rather than themselves.

Been playing alot of Pokemon Link! (Pokemon Trozei in the US) on the Nintendo DS recently. Finally managed to beat the final boss, who looks like a little kid buzzing on some class A's. It was satisfying. Haven't been playing a huge amount of 360 since getting Devil May Cry 4. I got a few achievements on Forza 2 and Undertow, haven't touched DMC4 in a few days. Came to the realisation that i don't look Ace Combat 6 so much. The graphics and flying are cool, the missions however, are just so boring. Also it can be hard to find anyone to play with online at times which sucks, coz the online is actually really good.

Thinking it might be time to get a PS3. Metal Gear and Metal Gear Online, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy - the game's are finally starting to arrive. Hello Playstation 3.
