The ‘Best of’ range will be known as ‘Playstation 3 the Best‘, and will supposedly be rolling out in Japan first, and then will be making their way over to Europe and USA later on. Obviously the titles may change, and the price of the titles is not yet fixed in stone, although as soon as we hear any more, you will be the first to know.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is to be released by RockStar on the 19th October 2007. A limited edition version of the game will be available and will come packaged in a metal Safe Deposit box.

Inside this Safe Deposit box will be:

- your specially packaged copy of GTA IV
- a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag
- production artwork for GTA IV in an exclusive book
- selected soundtrack CD for GTA IV featuring exclusive releases

Oh, and you also get the all important key for your safety deposit box!

This version is sure to sell out quickly and is available for £69.99 (or $86.99 in the US) – pre-orders are being taken by a number of suppliers now. The bog standard version of the game is expected to retail at £49.99 so we think the Special Edition represents excellent value for money.

You can pre-order your Special Edition copy of GTA 4
- for £69.99 in the UK
- for $86.99 in the US

A full preview will be on the site shortly but in the meantime have a look at the online video trailer of the game in which ‘you create the game!’

Weird – but brilliant…

Our introductory topic in the forum is here – but more importantly get yourself signed up NOW and start posting your way to a new PS3 game!

The game has you starting off with a blank canvess and allows you to create pretty much anything you want. While all of the time the objects that you use all have real world attributes, such as real wood or wool, and not forgetting real world physics.

Your character is a small teddy bear-like creature made from wool, and you use this little fellow to play around in your custom created world or even allow others to play in it at the same time. It was first shown at this years GDC by the Media Molecule developers to much acclaim, and i for one can not wait for this title to come out.

According to zie Germans over at Gamefront.de, Sony is planning to release a demo of the download-only four-player game. It also suggests that the demo could be downloaded about the same time that PS Home goes live. So hopefully not long to wait then.

In the mean time here are a few pics of this amazing title to wet your appetite.

Lair is an action game, in which you will control the flight and actions of a dragon – using the tilt functions on the PlayStation 3.

In the game you will play the role of a Knight, a member of a secret society who fly dragons in combat. The game is being developed by Factor 5, and although there will be no online multiplay of the title, they have confirmed this is a possibility for a potential game sequel depending upon the appeal of the game.

Lair will make full use of the Playstation 3′s capabilities

- running at the maximum 1080p resolution, and

- with 7.1 digital surround sound

The graphics for the title are truly impressive with complex real time rendering of waves, clouds, rain – you get the picture.

Controls

Using the Sixaxis controller for the game is set to be truly revolutionary.

The X button will flap the dragon’s wings (increasing speed etc)

The direction of movement will be controlled by the tilt of the controller. Slamming down the controller will force the dragon to stamp his feet – creating a shock-wave which will affect your enemies. Moving the controller back and forward will ‘slash’ at your enemies.

From what we have heard and seen we think this will be one of the land-mark games in the early phase of PS3 development.

Watch this space…

“It’s a real coup for Evolution,” says Martin Kenwright, CEO, Evolution Studios. “Developing MotorStorm has certainly not been easy — but the team here really delivered. Evolution has a reputation for delivering high quality racing titles, but we really needed to up the ante with Sony’s new hardware. We’re delighted that the public has agreed with the press, and made MotorStorm the current Japanese number one PlayStation 3 title. We can’t wait to see how it performs throughout the rest of the world.”

We can all look forward to playing this game here in Europe and in North America next spring. Untill then just enjoy the screenshot below and try to imagine playing this beautiful looking game.
