SCEE has announced that they have stopped production on PS3’s The Getaway (the third in the series) and Eight Days, according to GameIndustry.biz. Little was known of Eight Days besides a trailer shown at E3 2006 and only a handful of in-game screenshots of London were ever released for The Getaway.

The first Getaway and its sequel, Black Monday, were full of gameplay problems as it disposed of a functioning HUD and relied on visual cues for the gamer to determine health, ammo, etc. The gun-play was off, as well, and while nicely recreated, London was devoid of life outside of the main missions. Regardless, the story was its superior trait and those familiar with Guy Ritchie flicks (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) got its charm.

After a month long hiatus, Destructoid’s GameJew returned with another interesting singing review.  I’ll be honest that this is the first time I have even though about City Connection (NES) in many, many years.  Although it wasn’t really a great game or anything, I did enjoy playing it back in the day for what it was worth.
