Own The City That Never Sleeps in This is Vegas!
10:00AM Adam Barenblat | In this new This is Vegas trailer we get to see some of the awesome visuals they are working on for the game. I know GTA has covered this to some respect but it will be interesting to see an entire game built around this theme.

Midway’s Wheelman And Vegas Slip To 2009
1:40AM Mike Fahey | Along with the news that it had beaten last year’s losses by over 50% this year, Midway’s quarterly results also show that two of its big titles have slipped off this year’s calender into the next.

This Is Vegas has more colour per pixel than, well, just about any PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 release that we can think of. Oh wait, just remembered Kameo. That was a colourful nightmare, wasn’t it? A paltry three new screens away you in the gallery below. Do try to make the most of them. More »Midway Gamer’s Day ‘08: This Is Vegas
9:08AM Flynn De Marco |This Is Vegas Trailer
10:30PM Luke Plunkett | This is Vegas? I always thought Vegas was about bright lights, good times, regrettable unions. Not punching and gyrating floosies. Well, punching and floosies do feature, I guess, I just never figured they’d be the only things shown in a trailer for a game based in the city. Then again, seeing as this is a Midway GTA clone, maybe I should have. More »
