It looks like the hardcore Grand Theft Auto fans that only stay loyal to the Playstation brand will have their opprotunity to break into cars, steal/sell drugs, and just shoot even more people than before.

Let’s face it, Chinatown Wars is still one of the highest rated games on the Nintendo DS, but it only sold around 89,000 copies of the game. Can you blame Sony for wanting to try that again?

In the second part of our first major evolution since our debut, we have introduced a brand new set of community based additions and blogs, codenamed nexLimit.

As mentioned previously by our resident webmaster and code genius Colin, it introduces quite an extensive list of new features that allow you, our dedicated readers, to not only read the site, but actually contribute to it.

Not only that, but build a gaming community, where gamers can write, discuss and build sub-groups around their favourite hobby.

Being a beta, there are a LOT of bugs and features that are still being worked on, but they should be fixed over the next 24-96hrs. Read on for what’s in store.

If you’re a fan of Xbox, you likely know exactly who Major Nelson is! Once in awhile he puts up a tidbit or two that’ll let us know about things coming for the future of the Xbox 360.

Although nothing was mentioned durring the press conference, or in the buzz surrounding it, something you’ve all been chiming for is coming to the Xbox 360.

Y’know what is annoying? When someone logs into Xbox Live right when you think you have done something that is worthy of an achievements. Not only is it that annoying person who was halfway good at Burnout who added you, but you didn’t even recieve one point of gamerscore. Dissapointing, isn’t it?

Recently we came across a website that will help you net the gamerscore you’re dreaming of! Want to know the best ones besides Avatar and King Kong? Yeah, they’ve got you covered.

Check out the screenshots after the break.

I severely dislike the “rhythm game” genre. Ever since Dance Dance Revolution came out, I’ve always found the genre to just be a bit ridiculous. I’m a real musician and I already like to dance – making DDR, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band seem a bit superfluous – but there’s a much better reason, in my opinion: In these games, all I’m doing is pressing buttons to my favorite songs.

There is only one rhythm game I’ve ever played that actually had a thoroughly interesting concept to me: Gitaroo Man. Originally released to obscurity on the Playstation 2 way back in 2002, it got a re-release four years later on PSP. Now, to be honest, I don’t think Gitaroo Man’s gameplay is that great, either; but it certainly got me closer to enjoying a rhythm game than the “big three”  ever did.

If you’re a fan of news round-ups here at Gamer Limit but grow tired of the dry, British humor that I so readily provide on a weekly basis (if I do say so myself), then this week could be just what you need. Without boring you with too many details, I have just found out that I am very short on time on this lovely Sunday afternoon.

Therefore, this round-up is as true and pure as a list of the week’s news highlights here at GL. Enjoy! But don’t enjoy it as much as when I babble on and make things funny. That would be plain rude.

Ah, the internet poll: How worthless you are. Cheaters will cast multiple votes on you by refreshing the page or using proxies. You are easily skewed and meaningless as a measurement of anything. Ron Paul is a perfect example on how internet polls shouldn’t be taken so seriously. He would single-handily win them if they actually represented voter intention, but the same didn’t happen outside the internet world.

If you’re like me, who frequents many gaming sites, you’ll notice that most will have some sort of poll. I take my time to vote for my favorite, but at many occasions, my choice isn’t in the lead. It won’t change my opinion towards my choice or prove anything meaningful. Internet polls basically serve as a form of entertainment (GameFaqs’ “Greatest Game of All Time” poll is a perfect example), but to fanboys, they are truly serious business.

Gamers are growing up, and as a result, so is gaming. Sitting on the top of a mountain after what was almost a ferocious rise, our once marginalized hobby has hit the mainstream. But at what cost? Have we allowed the rest of societies’ ills to flood in and kill the simple pleasure of playing a game, mirroring the same corruption of music and film?

I wrote earlier this week about bloggers and main gaming sites taking shortcuts, churning out simple content to pull hits and fill chunks of dead air on slow news days. Following on from that, my sights are set on Olivia Munn, presenter and “journalist” of G4′s “Attack of the Show” and the furphy around her appearance in, and subsequently also on the cover of, Playboy.

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been struggling through a drought of new PC games. But instead of randomly purchasing new titles, I decided to go back and play two of my favorite RTS titles: Warcraft 3 and Empire: Total War. During the nostalgic moment, I noticed one distinct element; they both implement the hero system.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that heroes are important to the RTS genre. On the other hand, it is a concept that is often overlooked. It’s an idea that seems so basic, but at the same time, it gives the genre a much needed boost. For this week’s Soapbox, I will be exploring the relationship between Player and Heroes. Read more… »

Dearest Blizzard – I have a problem. You see, I’ve developed an unhealthy addiction to Starcraft 2 – never mind the fact that it’s yet to be released – I can’t be bothered to consider such minutia. I’m much too busy re-watching Battle reports, and then absorbing, digesting, and analyzing the excreted remains of every morsel of information you toss my way.
