re: Grand Theft Auto IV

looks great. Im gonna have to get this one

and holy ****. Motley Crue "Wild Side"...bloody perfect song for a biker theme.

I look forward to seeing what other songs they added to the soundtrack. If they have some Pantera on there also with the Crue, that would be even more perfect ...and since it's bikers, they need a country station too.

Completely agree. I wish their original soundtrack when the game shipped was better. Can't argue with some Crue.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Well, the song from the first trailer was Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura which is one of my favorite bands of all time. I heard there is also going to some Slayer and Megadeth as well. That is soooooo up my alley!

Anyone have any luck with beating the high score at that QUB3D game thats at the strip club? I tried to figure it out and I think I understood what to do but still couldnt get any higher then 6th place on that list, any suggestions that I might not be aware of?

May seem obvious but are you using the power ups that you get? I forget exactly what button it is I think square in the PS3, but you can them if you can match 4 pieces in a square shape. I forgot exactly how it works because I got that trophy awhile ago but there are some videos on youtube that explain it better.

Lol, I didnt even know there were any power-ups so I guess that answers your question. I will check out some videos to see how its done.

On a side note, were you able to beat the game in under 30 hours? If so, did you do any side things, ie. package deliveries, most wanted etc? Im trying to see what I can and cant get away with and still beat the game in under 30 hours as there is no way Im playing through it again for a 3rd time if I dont beat it in under 30 hours this time.

The Guy should have known going into it that he got a raw deal. He should fire his agent...

He was unknown for the most part, and he could have renegotiated before going to the press. Rockstar makes edgy games, you think they worried about PR? He would have negotiated for more games an multi year contract of sorts and DLC extras.

Please take this as a life lesson folks.

Personally,I would have taken the 100 grand and been stoked that I was voicing the main character in the biggest video game of the year.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Can't wait for L&D to drop. I've been brushing up on my GTA skills the last few days and trying to pick up some achievements I wasn't able to get the first time around (One Man Army and Flying Under the Radar, plus a few others).

The hardest thing to get back are my combat skills. I tried one of the Assassin missions and just got smoked. The interface is just more clunky than Saints Row 2, and the map isn't as easy to read. There's too much dark on dark. The assassin mission was a multi-level warehouse and it was difficult for me to see if my targets were above or below me because the targets were dark red over black.

Overall it's a great game, just not one that leaves you much incentive to do anything outside of the story mode (which is excellent).

An easier way to get the 30 hr achievement would be to skip all the cutscenes and ignore any phone call you get and just blast your way through the mission. At least that's how I got it lol.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Hmm, MS has some surprise related to the Lost and Damned release. I'm guessing it won't be anything good though. LOL

Lost and Damned is out tomorrow.....later today we've got a little surprise related to the release

If anybody was wondering what the file size will be, I saw the back of the box at EB and it said 2GB.

Euorgamer Review - 8

With a fulsome single-player campaign that will soak up somewhere in the region of fifteen hours of your time while threading in a genuinely memorable story, and a pile of new distractions, there's no question that Rockstar has raised the bar on what players should expect from downloadable content. This isn't the short burst of simulated history that Operation: Anchorage offered Fallout 3 fans, or the quirky asides of Fable II's Knothole Island. Instead, it's approaching the kind of package most developers would have few qualms about boxing up and selling to you full-price as an entirely new game.

While the company's talent with stories suggests the day may be approaching when GTA runs up against the inevitable limits of openworld titles - a Scorsese-quality narrative, where characters are happy to spend their time driving around in klutzish dodgem cars - for the moment, the trade-off still works. That's why, for now at least, you'll be more than happy to come along for the ride.

IGN: GTA IV: The Lost and Damned Single-Player Verdict

The Lost and Damned's one failing is in creating a character that's difficult to care about. But there are enough interesting asides to GTA IV that most can overlook the weaker story and just enjoy L&D for what it is -- a supplement to a great game. I recommend giving L&D a shot, not because Johnny is a great new addition to the Rockstar universe, but because the gameplay from GTA IV has been improved for the better. It's just too bad that none of this carries into GTA IV. I would love to relive Niko's adventures armed with an assault shotgun and grenade launcher and the ability to ride a bike like a man. I suppose that sums up L&D -- I loved the new gameplay elements so much, I wanted to dump ol' Johnny and experience them with Niko.

TeamXbox Review - 9.7

Overall, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned sets an amazing standard for what downloadable content can do. It doesn’t just extend the GTA IV experience, but actually builds upon it while feeling fresh and different. If you’re a GTA fan it’s a must-play, and will only get you excited about what Rockstar has up its sleeve for the next episode in the compelling saga of Liberty City
