GBA News | Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban
Electronic Arts have announced that the forthcoming PS2 version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - which we first caught sight of back in December - will support Sony's EyeToy.

The Prisoner of Azkaban - the third game in the Potter series - gives gamers the chance to play as both Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as ...

GBA News | Driver 3
Atari have released the first ever proper in-game shots of Driv3r, the first next-gen incarnation of the influential car chase series.While we've seen plenty of replay-style screenshots in the past, this new batch of images actually show the game proper in action and cover all three of Driv3r's locations: Miami, Nice and Istanbul. The game will look immediately familiar to anyone who's played the series' earlier instalments on PSone, with its bars for health, vehicle damage and felony rating in ...

GBA News | Driver 3
Previously scheduled for a March release, Driv3r will now grace the shelves on June 1. The slippage is being rather slyly pitched by Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and CEO of Atari, as a marketing opportunity. "We believe that this additional time will give our marketing team the ability to exploit DRIV3R's full potential, meeting the high expectations of gamers, media and shareholders."It definitely wasn't because it's nowhere near finished, then, and credible rumours of Atari drafting in extra ...

GBA News | Driver 3
Atari have released part one Run the Gauntlet, the series of short movies 'inspired' by Driv3r.Unlike the earlier trailers we've seen, this two-minute sequence doesn't actually contain any in-game footage and is based entirely around live action. Be warned: the acting and, indeed, the storyline are somewhat on the cheesy side although, to be fair, that's probably missing the point.Which is, naturally, that it's an excuse for some super-cool car chases - in this episode, keep an eye out for the ...
