The action heroes of decades past blow a hole in the PSN this week along with Ridge Racer and War of the Monsters- but where’s GTAIII?
Not that the entire world hasn’t played it already, but the PS2 classic Grand Theft Auto III is MIA in this weeks update to the PlayStation Store. Originally meant to be available now, an update to the PSN Blog states that an “unforeseen complication” has derailed the game’s debut. And not only that, but it’s unclear when it might actually become available. So you know what that means- now you’ll just have to play it on one of the hundred other platforms it’s on. A sad, sad, day indeed.
But hey, on the upside War of the Monsters is a pretty good time where you can stomp around a cityscape (destroying everything) and wrestle giant beasties. Not too shabby that.
The main event for this week on the service is clearly The Expendables 2: The Videogame though. First, no- your memory is fine, there never was a ‘The Expendables 1’ videogame. It’s a little weird, true, but who cares honestly. You can play as Dolph Lundgren in this game.
It could be called anything for all I care. Call it ‘four dudes in a chopper’ – whatever – you can play as Movie He-Man. That’s all you really need to know. The only thing that would have made this four player co-op shooter better would have been being able to play as Schwarzenegger and/or Van Damme. Actually, if somebody just made a completely mindless shooter where you could pick from a roster of ’80s action movie heroes, I’d be all over it.
So get on that you… whoever… out there. That and a Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain revival… and Exosquad. That too.
