Haze Developers Say PS3 Technical Issues Impacted Game Design
Free Radical Design's Haze was not a good game. After being delayed multiple times, the futuristic first-person shooter landed with a thud. Part of that can be attributed to the developer's struggle coming to grips with PlayStation 3 hardware. More » -

Blockbuster's Top Ten Selling New Video Games Includes... Haze?
Maybe it's because I don't really read newspapers anymore. Maybe it's that I just never noticed it. But I didn't realize that like the New York Times, Blockbuster has gotten into the bestsellers business. More » -

Haze Gets Bargain Binned
Well, that didn't take long. GameStop's weekly ad reveals that the games retailer is moving copies of Haze for the low price of $39.99, a $20 drop from the suggested retail price it launched with less than three weeks ago. That could be very telling of its retail performance if GameStop is already slashing prices on the game, but publisher Ubisoft may be behind the move to get rid of some copies of the PlayStation 3 shooter. Even at forty bucks, I'd find it hard to recommend, but you'll have to decide for yourself. More » -

Frankenreview, Haze (PS3)
A year ago you couldn't look at a list of PlayStation 3 killer apps without seeing Free Radical and Ubisoft's Haze right up there towards the top. Promising cutting edge visuals, a deep story, and the unique power of the nectar, a drug that gives soldiers superhuman abilities, Haze seemed destined to become one of the PS3's definitive games.

Haze Is PS3 Exclusive "For Now" (Sigh)
Ah, yes. Timed "exclusives." Originally, Ubisoft's Haze was scheduled for the PS3, the Xbox 360 and the PC. Then! It was slated as a PS3 exclusive. What does that mean? According to a Ubisoft spokesperson, Haze is: More » -

New Haze Screens
Courtesy of Ubisoft, here's five new screens for upcoming PS3 shooter Haze, which have only been slightly (OK, more than slightly) touched-up by the company's make-up artists. Don't know why they bothered, thought the game looked fine on its own merits. Oh well. Anyone interested in picking the game up, playing the game to completion then getting some hefty in-store credit at GameStop should be made aware it's due to hit in May. More »
