In my apartment we have a PS3 and an Xbox360. I have always been a Playstation fan. Between the cock tease of a demo for GT HD the lack of games/pushing back release dates on all of them Interface with the playstation menu or whatever the hell you want to call it Updates Its just painful With that being said, I never want to pay for the shitty ass Xbox live service and will put up with playstation for the free online feature anytime. Metal gear, GTA5, and GT5 will make or break the console. ---

Immediately after i posted my bitch-session I got to play and the first thing I thought was “this definitely makes up for the install/bs” Its gorgeous, and I can’t stress enough how believeable the handling of the cars is… they really feel like they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. ---

UPDATE on GTAIV 1. The game is 100% leaked for Xbox360, so if you have a moded 360 you can download and play \ so make sure u are no connected to XboxLive because your xbox live account will be blocked forever. 2. The footage of GTAIV game play is appearing everywhere, youtube is having hard time deleting all the videos that are popping up. But there is a bunch of other hosts that have bunch of the videos there. 3. As of 11:08 there is a live webcam feed of somebody playing GTAIV [http://www.justin.tv/sculay](http://www.justin.tv/sculay) Thats it, can’t wait til 29th so I can play me some GTAIV :lol ---

Well, well only 2 days left :nod, I’ll be at GameStop the one at Mohawk Commons at 12AM on Monday night. Ok I found a couple of new things to watch about GTAIV 1. New Trailer released by R\* [Click here](http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=videos) 2. Download IGN GTAIV Podcast (56min AUDIO) [\](http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/audio/article/869/869564/GTA%20IV%20Podcast.mp3) 3. IGN 4min Video Preview of GTAIV [\](http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/827005/grand-theft-auto-4/videos/gta4_review_042508.html) IGN is saying that GTAIV will look/play better on PS3, but Xbox has its up’s too + we’ll get more DLC!!! from R\* thanks to Microsoft $50mill ;D ---

so did anyone else get it/play it? IMO they seriously fucked up the motorcycle driving and the driving of cars is really different, i’m still on the fence about it. I’m not talking about control scheme, but how the stuff handles. seems cool so far, have yet to try multiplayer for fear of having to call in sick. i had alot to do this week. ---

I havent had a chance to ride the bikes to much other than to realize that when you crash them it hurts… badly. At one point I drove my car straight into a wall at full speed and flew through the windshield directly into the wall, that was interesting. ---

I love everything about it except the auto-aim. I flew the annihilator to the top of the empire stat building, jumped off on top, with 6 stars mind you, watched the helicopter plummet to the earth, then proceeded to RPG every helicopter within view…oh, and if you let the helicopters chill you can wait for the swat guys to come down to the building on ropes, then toss a grenade at their feet and blow them right over the edge and watch them fall out of sight. My favorite thing to do thus far is get going as fast as you can in the chopper, crank it to the side, bail, and LAUNCH yourself at like 200mph over the city…you skid/bounce/whack into people/poles/cars you name it…its great fun :rofl Awesome game. Simply. AWESOME. ---

Oh, and the secret to riding the bikes is you basically have to take a race line everywhere…same goes for the cars…do your braking before a turn, not during, and be neutral on the throttle until you’ve cleared the apex and have a clean line, otherwise you just plow into the wall/pedestrian/car or w/e else you might be aiming towards…oh, and hiding yourself and sniping the shit out of people is fun as HELL. ---
