Europeans should be able to purchase this game in a few hours or so, since it's tagged retail date is May 11. So hopefully, this should be the last of all the preview videos for the Grand Theft Auto-esque (it's mighty hard to avoid the comparison ...really, it is) Ubisoft video game, Driver 76.

If you haven't had enough of Car Towing and Truck Protecting videos, and you're willing to click play on the semi-instructional video below, you should be able to observe how stealing vans in the game works. Not that you've had enough experience with car theft in other games.

This next one is about video game title Driver 76 and is more for our readers in other parts of the world aside from North America. Because you see, the open-environment game from Ubisoft and Sumo Digital has already shipped to most retail stores across the country.

On the other hand, Europe will be getting it two days from now (May 11). But still, in case some of you are still weighing your options if you will get this game or not (it's always being compared to the Grand Theft Auto franchise), feel free as well to take watch the video below.

What we have above are four new screenshots for the title and the video below is another trailer for Driver 76. As always, the video sports the funky sound and stylings of the 70s era coupled with driving and shooting action that never go out of style.

Driver 76 for the PSP - Image 1 Ubisoft and Sumo Digital's Driver 76 is currently out for the PSP - in North America atleast. GamesRadar has just posted a custom gameplay video for the video game.

The fifth video game title of the Driver series and prequel to Driver: Parallel Lines, Driver 76 is looking to impress. It features an open-world environment (which is comparable to GTA's sandbox) and centers on driving and shooting gameplay. The new trailer showcases the first couple of missions - meeting up with Slink and hijacking a fish truck. Driving around in a very retro lavender convertible would be sweet - only if it wasn't stolen.

Driver 76 for the PlayStation Portable is set for release in May 11 for Europe. Anyway, you can check out the video by clicking the Read link below. Enjoy!

Driver '76 - Image 1Driver '76 for the Sony PSP, the newest installment in the Driver series, has shipped to retailers today according to an announcement from video game publisher Ubisoft. The game comes with a MATURE rating and is available for a suggested retail price of US$ 39.99.

This prequel to Driver: Parallel Lines is the first all-new iteration of the famed Driver series to be released since Ubisoft acquired the Driver franchise last year. Developed by Sumo Digital Ltd. and Ubisoft's Reflections studio, the game features Hollywood-style car chases while also letting the player experience the game's 70s-based open world environment on foot.

Driver '76 also comes with quite a few mini-games and multiplayer features. Players can also customize their rides as they roar through the game's 27 all-new missions.

We can't talk about Driver 76 without talking about its mission-based driving gameplay. After all, this is the video game title's very heart and core. Just like what we have for you today, it's actually about the game's "Car Towing" feature. Here, what you must do is tow a certain vehicle and bring it back to the garage in one piece.

It's just a bummer that Driver 76 got delayed for a few weeks. But no real worries there, as developer Sumo Digital and publisher Ubisoft already assured fans of a concrete release date, that's May 11 if you really want to know. The game will feature several other modes apart from this one, and around 40 different vehicles that you can customize.

Driver 76 is part of the long-running Driver franchise of video games and is often compared to Grand Theft Auto.

Developer Sumo Digital and publisher Ubisoft just sent QJ.Net a new press release video for their up and coming title Driver 76. Remaining true to the Driver franchise, this new video game features a lot of driving adventures that are coupled with missions players should accomplished.

Driver 76 features a total of 40 customizable vehicles and a head-to-head multiplayer mode among many others. It has always been called as a retro version of Grand Theft Auto although the Driver franchise has already gained a loyal following of its own.

If you're not familiar with it, better check out its screenshots, gameplay videos, and even the newly opened website. Driver 76 will be available on May 11 across North America and Europe will get it some time near that date as well.

For something that looks like a retro version of Grand Theft Auto, Driver 76 PSP certainly has a lot more to offer players. We got two new gameplay videos for the Ubisoft and Sumo Digital videogame.

Driver 76 features some gameplay that sets it apart and they are showcased in the two trailers. First one is entitled "Protecting the Truck". The player is on the back of a pick up truck and they're being chased by a bulldozer. The other one on the other hand shows "Watch Those Turns" gameplay where players get to drive a tow truck stealing parked cars for parts. The owners are not going to let you get away that easy though.

So get on those retro shades, put up that Afro, and the bell bottom pants. While we're waiting for Driver 76's release for the PlayStation Portable, watch the videos for a couple of pointers. Enjoy!



Check out the other video after the jump!

Driver 76 - Image 1


The official website of Driver 76 for the PSP is now up and running, and it seems that Ubisoft has managed to make the site exude the same retro feel that the game bears. At the moment, the site has a lot of stuff that fans of this game can get. There's a bunch of downloadable wallpapers, as well as some screenshots of the game. In addition to this, they also have some videos of the game right up there, as well as a short write-up about this upcoming title. Well, since we can't read German, we're not sure about what the write-up actually says, but anyone who can translate German is more than welcome to give it a go.

Driver 76 is now slated to be released this May (it was supposed to be out this March). While waiting for this groovy game to be released, why don't you check out some of the latest screenshots from the game?

Ubisoft delays GRAW 2, Rainbow Six Vegas, and Driver 76 - Image 1We all already know that Sony needs to broaden their current library of video games for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). With that said, this development might leave you a bit upset for the rest of the day, or until your favorite titles finally launch, so be warned.

As it goes, the publisher and developer Ubisoft has just announced that some more PSP titles will not make their scheduled release dates. For one, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas for the PSP was originally expected way back in November 2006, but was pushed back to January this year, and then again to May. To make things worse, Ubisoft is now saying that fans will get the video game by "Spring."

Another Tom Clancy title, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, is now set for a June release, which is a whole month later than the original release schedule. If anyone can remember, there were some hush-hush talks about this delay a couple of weeks ago, but apparently,  Ubisoft just simply chose to remain tight-lipped about the matter until now. Lastly, Driver 76 was originally scheduled to be released this March, but now, the company explained that the title needs more development time and is hence being pushed back to June.

Well, let's just hope that they make up for the delays by delivering some well-polished games!

i want them freebieessss.... *huff huff* - Image 1Hoping something new will come crashing your way and on to your PSP soon? How about "now"-soon? Soon enough for you? Yep, the wait is over, 'cuz we have here not just one, nor two, but... oh, alright. We've got a whole lot of new stuff for your PSP. Uh, okay, so let's peg that at eight, shall we?

Anyway, keeping the facts (and my head) straight, us.playstation.com has just put up on their site the February Content Pack. And it's a pretty --er-- healthy pack, actually. From playable demos (which require the latest system software), to wallpapers and screenshots, your PSP sure will be one happy burper once it gets its fill of this goodies.

So, without further ado:
Go check out the PlayStation site (via Read) to check out what else is there, and of course, to get the downloads. Oh, and have we said already? It's free.
