All Points Bulletin or APB for short was an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online game) designed by some of the minds that worked on Crackdown. On paper, it was the perfect game, taking the whole concept of cops and robbers to the next level. In reality, of course, things were a jumbled mess and the game tanked hard. So which side will you choose?

So, which side will you choose?

Now nearly a year later and under new management, the game has come back from the dead in an all new polished avatar and best of all, it’s free. You can choose to enter the fictional city of San Paro as, either an Enforcer or a Criminal after which you can proceed to wreak havoc or uphold the law. Your call. And since it’s free, you stand to lose nothing, even if it’s not up to your standards.

If you do plan on grabbing this game off Steam, here’s what you’ll require under the hood:

Minimum Requirements:

OS: Windows XP
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 (2.13GHz) or AMD Athlon x2 5800+ (3.0GHz)
Memory: 3GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce 7800 with 256MB and support for Pixel Shader 3.0, or AMD equivalent
DirectX: dx90c
Hard Drive: 7GB HD space
Other Requirements: Broadband Internet connection

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
