Midnight Club Los Angeles Review: The Fast And The Infuriating

Midnight Club, now in its fourth major release, lands on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, giving us Rockstar San Diego's first foray into flashy, illegal street racing on current-generation consoles. The series heads to the west coast with Midnight Club Los Angeles, bringing with it a new, realistic representation of southern California's smoggiest city, which happens to also be Midnight Club's biggest location to date. With a more open-world environment, "next-gen" graphics and extensive online integration, has Rockstar given us a reason to renew our membership to the Midnight Club? More »

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Yeah, that's right. I'm playing Wii Music. Nearly snapped these puny wrists off last night, wailing away on the Dog Suit to the tune of "Grandfather's Clock." A rollicking good time that you'll hear more about next week when the review hits. Also on deck is Midnight Club Los Angeles, which... you'll hear more about next week when the review hits. There might be a little Peggle Nights thrown in there, just for giggles. More »

LA traffic can be a real bitch, so who can blame Rockstar if there two newest Midnight Club games are a little late getting there?

Midnight Club's Picture Perfect LA

Along with the release date news from earlier today, Rockstar also released a gaggle of brand new screenshots for Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and they are pretty damn nice looking. I've only been in LA maybe three times in my life, four if you count driving through, and even I recognize things I've seen before. Not a bad feat, recreating the look and feel of Los Angeles. Too bad their isn't enough computing power in the world to accurately render the city's traffic.I doubt even the combine computing power of the Folding@Home project could generate that level of detail.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles Speeds Towards September

Another game joins the Rockstar Games Social Club this September as Rockstar announces the release dates for Midnight Club: Los Angeles and its baby PSP brother, Midnight Club: LA Remix. September 9th is the date that North American players will be blazing down the streets of a fully recreated Los Angeles, with our European friends receiving the game three days later.

"People are going to be blown away when they see how true-to-life Los Angeles looks in this game," said Jay Panek, Midnight Club Producer Rockstar San Diego. "We've added some great twists and turns that let players experience the authentic vibe and feel of the city at blistering speeds that you simply couldn't get away with in real life."

They had me at the third-rate recreation of Atlanta in the last game. I can't wait to see what they've done with the Los Angeles, though of course I will never be satisfied until they add realistic pedestrians to the mix. I wanna see unrealized script pages exploding upon impact. Then we'll have a faithfully recreated LA. More »
