Grand Theft Auto’s Chinatown Wars is 50% on the iPhone and iPad.  That is right.  Rockstar is whacking the price down until Monday February 7th. If you are getting the game on iPad, even the High Definition version of the game is 1/2 off.

But why are they doing such a thing? Well, apparently, this is in celebration of the Year of the Rabbit, a Chinese Holiday .  The Year of the Rabbit begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on February 22, 2012.  If you are born in this time span, you won’t be playing this game (hopefully) and you will have the Zodiac sign of the Rabbit attached to your personhood forever.

Long shrouded in secrecy and mass speculation from fans, EA and DICE have finally released a trailer for the highly anticipated game Battlefield 3. A teaser trailer of sorts, as no actually gameplay footage was shown nonetheless shows off glimpses of what is to come in the next installment of this long running game franchise. Running on the Frostbite 2 engine, Battlefield 3 is tipped to be DICE’s next cutting edge first person shooter experience. Details about the game have yet to be released, but we can expect (judging by the trailer) that Battlefield 3 will continue its trademark multiplayer in a modern setting.

Battlefield 3 is set to be released in Fall 2011.

Mulleted Vintage Agassi & More Confirmed for Top Spin 4..

One of the best Tennis players to play the sport will be making a comeback once and for all…at least in Top Spin 4 anyway. 2K Games recently released a new “legends” trailer showing off some of Tennis’ best players that cut for the game’s roster. One of these primed players will include “Vintage Agassi”, who of course is Tennis legend, Andre Agassi. Yes, he will also be sporting his famed mullet. Another player featured in the clip is yet another legend and Australia’s own, Patrick Rafter who will be joining the likes of Boris ‘Boom Boom’ Becker, Michael Chang, Ivan Lendl, Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Jim Courier on the courts.

It also should be noted that Vintage Agassi is a bonus for pre-ordering through EB Games in Australia & NZ, so if you want to dawn the ‘do for free, it would be a good idea to go ahead and get your order in soon as the game launches on March 18th. You can check out some of the 80’s tennis greatness in the trailer below.

DiRT 3 confirmed for May 24th release

Codemasters have confirmed that DiRT 3 will be available in the shops from May 24th. When combined with the fact that developers Codemasters are running a focus group soon and have invited people of all ages to come to their headquarters in the UK to test the game out, this release date suggests the game is nearing completion.

It looks to be the most ambitious DiRT game yet, with the introduction of Gymkhana (a special type of skill/trick manouvres) playing a large part in the title, and an attempt to return back to some of the old school Colin McRae roots of the series.

Is anyone going to be pre-ordering this or picking it up on release day? If the series’ background is anything to go by, it could be one of the most complete rally-sims ever.

Art thou preparing for thy newest Sims quest in Medieval times? If you are still reading after that bad attempt at Old English, you should be happy to know that we are getting closer to the release date for The Sims Medieval. Set back in the time of wealthy kings and fierce knights, this newest adventure is a bit different from the standard Sims titles as you now must perform quests and try to bring kingdoms to peace rather than the typical lifestyle seen in other Sims titles.

EA released a new gameplay trailer today showing off the colorful Sim characters that inhabit the game as well as an overview on the main objective of the game, which is to create your kingdom and command your Sims as they partake in adventures in this brand new world. As someone who enjoyed The Urbz, which definitely was a step away from standard Sims fare, I must say I am intrigued by this title and I am getting a bit of a Fable-ish vibe from the this clip (which you can check out below) and if you are looking for something new for the series, this might just be for you as well. March 22nd marks the release date for The Sims Medieval which be available for Windows & Mac OSX.

4 Elements is available now on Nintendo DS, courtesy of Mastertronic and their links with the game’s developers, Playrix Entertainment. It’s a Match-3 puzzle game that has found popularity on the PC, but now this puzzler has been ported to the Nintendo DS, making use of the dual-screens and touch screen interface.

4 Elements sees an ancient kingdom is in peril: evil forces have corrupted the four elements and the waters of the altar of life have run dry. Now the player must unlock the four ancient books of magic, collect 16 mysterious cards and restore balance to this kingdom. Blending Match-3 gameplay with inventive twists and bonuses, it looks to be a solid puzzler – after all, if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t have had an audience on the PC.

Are any of you thinking of picking this up?
