Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo’s project head, spoke to German publication derStandard , where he alluded to a possible PC iteration of the popular racing franchise, “It is very very unlikely that GT will come out on another console. But perhaps it may come out on the PC.”
Yamauchi believes releasing Gran Turismo on the PC will help promote and distribute the game in the Chinese market, a market he seems eager to capture. This notion is interesting as the Chinese market is known for its rampant piracy.
Since releasing in 1997 The Gran Turismo series has featured hundreds of licensed cars and is currently undergoing its 5th iteration, set to release in 2009 on the PlayStation 3. Will the most popular racing simulator of all time head over to the PC? Time will tell.

THQ sends us some new images of its offroad racing videogame Baja, still on track for an August 2008 release on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Not only does it have 40 vehicules divided in eight categories, it also boasts many modes like splitscreen (four players max.), online (twelve players max.) and LAN, so we’ll have to keep an eye on it.
I’m not a fucking retard like Michael Bay or other people running around in the business or Eli Roth making the same shitty movies over and over again. If you really look at my movies you will see my real genius you know, and if you go on May 23 on Postal you will see that I deliver a movie what nobody else delivered in the last 10 years, what is way better as all that social critic George Clooney bullshit what you get every fucking weekend. You have to really wake up and you have to see me what I am. I am the only genius in the whole fucking business.

Lighthouse Interactive and dtp Entertainment have released another trailer for their upcoming adventure/psychological thriller for the PC, Overclocked: A History of Violence. The trailer reveals more of the game’s plot and introduces the other characters including the five young patients who were found wandering the streets of New York City - distraught, scared and screaming.

Throughout the game, you will play as five other characters which are seen in the trailer posted above.
Overclocked: A History of Violence is expected to hit shelves in North America on April 11th, and Europe May 2nd.
Forget Ang Lee’s vision of The Incredible Hulk. Marvel is putting out a new interpretation of Bruce Banner’s incredible transformation to the Hulk and Sega is developing a game to go with it.
Sega’s The Incredible Hulk video game looks like an updated version of Ultimate Destruction; only with more enraged roaring. I hope that the game delivers at least as well as Vivendi’s Hulk tribute. That open world for the Hulk to run around and smash things in has never been replicated, except maybe in crack down. It’s hard to tell from the teaser, but it appears the game features a fully destructible environment.
Haha! Oh, you got me, THQ. Here I was thinking that the new trailer for Saints Row 2 would show us something new from this upcoming title. But no, it’s just a a bunch of floating graphics and some voice over; all of which reveals nothing and doesn’t get me excited about this game at all. If I didn’t know better, I’d think this wasn’t a big joke, and that this trailer was actually meant to be interesting to some degree. Well played, THQ, well played.
