Sorry ’bout the lack of updates the last couple of weeks. I’ve been to frekkin’ busy playing GTA IV! It’s truly awesome! So far, I’ve done about 32% of the game according to the ingame sats, just a third of the way to complete the game, but my guess is that I’m probably half way through the main mission part, all the small things that takes a lot of time has to be completed too after the main missions.

Here’s a list of thing you can do while playing the main missions to help you on your way to 100% :

• Shoot pigeons, the red glowing ones. These are probably required for 100%
• Go online, date… a lot! Different women can help you in different ways later on.
• The paint shops aren’t as useful as in previous games, you can not be spotted on the way in to them!
• Hot dogs are gooood.
• Being drunk might be fun but annoying.
• Try swiming with your date…

Hope this might help your hunt for the 100%! Write a comment if you got any more tips.

Rockstar has just opened it’s “Social Club”, a community aimed at GTA IV-players. It will keep statistics about players progress (who has finished the game first, who has walked the longest distance), about the city (which area has the highest criminality etc).

This can be very nice, if Rockstar manages to keep the community at an appropriate level. There’s always a risk (as in all communities) that some people have a destructive behaviour and take things way to seriously. Let’s hope that Rockstar can pull this off, this really has the potential to be great!

See ya there!

The guys over at GameTrailers has done a pice on things seen in the “Everyone’s a rat”-trailer. It’s a comprehensive look on things we might see in the finished game. Less then four weeks until the release.

Brian Crecente of Kotaku has had the changce to do a little test-play of Grand Theft Auto 4. He seems to really like the aiming and shooting parts of the game, saying they are more like an fps then earlier games in the series.

Moving down the roof, not so gracefully, I scramble to some cover and switch over to an assault rifle. The game plays fast, letting you pop off shots quickly and precisely. I take out a couple of people with the simple lock-on. Emptying bullets into the bad guys until they drop, and then I slow down and take my time with the loose lock-on, shifting my aim to focus on headshots.

Read it!

The last trailer befor the realeas of GTA IV is out. Looks like alot of cool car chases and more story then the previous videos. Let’s just hope the story works in real game play.

You’ve all seen the trailers and screenshots of Rockstars new game, Grand Theft Auto IV. The game that was first schedule to be released in October is soon here, April 29 is the date to put in your calender. Let’s just hope the wait isn’t in vain, the trailers do look good, but they can’t tell you anything about the atmosphere and feeling of the game.

The big question for me is: to pre-order or not to pre-order? With some bad luck the pre-ordered copy might be delayed, but if I try to buy it in a shop, they might be sold out…

What to do… What will you do?
