Grand Theft Auto IV – Already hit some UK shelves
An Asda store in the UK has started to sell GTA IV before it’s release data according to a post on Qj.net. The game has now been taken off the shelves and the incident put down to an error.
Keep an eye out at stores for a prereleased copy.

Far Cry 2
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of a semi-private viewing of Far Cry 2 in action. Unfortunately no camera’s were allowed but there wasn’t really much more to see than what it already on the Internet. The demo that was shown was a November 2007 build.

Far Cry 2 is set in the savannah of Africa. The Far Cry team has moved away from the jungle environment which we basically saw again in Crysis. The weather is humid and green vegetation is rare in this vast openness.

[FIX] UT3.exe – kernel32.dll – Unreal Tournament 3
If you are getting the following error message when you open Unreal Tournament 3 do the following steps which should stop the problem happening.
If you do get this error, the first thing to do is to download and install the latest graphics drivers for your graphics card. I am assuming that you have checked the minimum specification of the game and your computer to make sure your PC can handle it.

After finding out the performance of Crysis on a Windows Vista x64 machine running in x64 mode in DX10, I wondered about how much different it made over 32-bit.

Excellent New Stats from Valve for Team Fortress 2
Often praised for their outstanding games winning awards for all their games, but also critised for their failure to keep hackers out of their online games and some huge glitches that prevent people from enjoying the masterpieces and also Steam have released statistics for Team Fortress 2.
The stats can be found on the Valve website. The stats are between the 18th November and 18th December and show which classes were the most deadly, how many wins per team on the maps and also more interesting. The locations of where people die the most on each map, which can be found at the very bottom of the page.
With these maps you do have to ask yourself how some people died on cp_well on the very far left where there is no actual playable area?
Similar stats can also be found for Half Life 2: Episode 2.

Crysis Benchmark – DX10 Vista x64
Here are some benchmark results for a medium-high spec PC running Crysis on Microsoft Windows Vista x64.
The PC in question is the following specification:
- Intel Core2Duo E6750 overclocked to 3.2GHz
- 4GB DDR2 PC6400 RAM
- 250GB SATA 7200RPM HDD
- Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB overclocked to 560MHz core, 850MHz memory
This including case and PSU etc, excluding monitor and speakers can be bought for around £700-£750, which isn’t really a lot, bringing it around £1000-£1200 with speakers and 22″ widescreen monitor.
The benchmark was carried out on Windows Vista 64-bit edition in DirectX 10 mode.
The benchmark tool used was the Crysis Benchmark Tool made by the team at Crymod and can be downloaded from Crymod or Guru3D.
