'Grand Theft Auto IV to be released on Nintendo DS come August' sez French bloggers
Lots of Grand Theft Auto IV news leaking out of the waterlogged PR machine, with the latest rumour revolving around a possible Nintendo DS version.
The rumour originated with the French lads at Game-Class, who claim to have spotted information about the port being released in France in August. I’m calling shenanigans on this one, however if Nintendo…
Rockstar announces online Social Club for GTA IV
Thanks to Xbox Live’s Achievements, being able to keep track of your friend’s scores online is what we’ve come to expect from modern games. But with GTA IV being released on both PS3 and Xbox 360, each individual’s closed systems make it difficult to keep track of how your friends are doing if they own a different console. Therefore Rockstar has invented a work around – the Rockstar Social Club…
Opinion: Manhunt 2's release will kill the current video games classifications

CES 2008: Belkin RockStar lets teens share their digital music
When I first read the release, I thought the Belkin RockStar was a useless idea. However, it’s growing on me. See what you think: it’s a device that you can plug five MP3 players into, and then choose which of them to listen to, or mix songs from several of them.
Belkin RockStar – share your iPod tunes
Fancy sharing your iPod tunes without having an earplug each? The Belkin RockStar should do the job.
Over the net! Wii gets Table Tennis
If you don’t know and love Rockstar’s Table Tennis, you’ve never lived. Well, or you just don’t happen to have an Xbox 360, of course. A table tennis sim might sound like a bit of a niche game, but trust me, this is one of the most addictive sports titles money can buy.
Manhunt 2's not going to hurt anyone, you idiots
Hello, murder-crazed video gamers! Are you all angry from the hot, sticky weather, and ready to snap into violence at any second? Jesus, I am. I could literally pick up a baseball bat, walk out of the door and…
