METAL GEAR ONLINE.

Ok, Metal Gear 4, Amazing game, It has the jungle atmosphere of Snake Eater and the cool camo, The memories of Metal Gear on PSOne (relive the amazing snow sniper boss battle of Wolf!) Even rubbish Raiden from dodgy 2 redeems himself as a hero in this outing!

But... Metal Gear Online...Oh dear Konami, you haven't planned it very well...If you are playing with standard maps and one character, no probs. but try to enter the store for the Genome Pack expansion... Arrrghhh! They are limiting your IP for half hour purchase windows! argghh! Luckily I got through and bought my maps but konami servers have performed badly and the constant updates are frustrating. Anyone else had trouble with MGO?

On the plus side its effin awesome game, Such a good online battle and with up to 16 players, a 8-a-side Team Deathmatch in the Middle East with Metal Gear game physics...! so cool....and even a few dust storms whip up!

I've completed the game a couple of times but get this... GTAIV even had to take a back seat for online! (ha who ever thought i'd love a online game so much??!!)

Anyway I've done my required 20hrs online gametime and reached Lv3 So i started a Clan! If you have MGSO join 7th Heaven (yes ripped from FFVII, but Private Military Company 7th Heaven sounds the sh** haha) I'm a handgun in the face type of guy and i have grunts, but I need snipers, so if you have MGSO (having gene expansion plus will help) look-up dja_XII / (clan) 7th Heaven and lets kick some PMC booty!

***SPOILERS***

My 10 Best Bits..So Far.. in no real order

1) Ricky Gervais all animated performing part of his hilarious stand-up on your safehouse TV!
2) Iggy Pop & Juliette Lewis as radio DJ's
3) A pedestrian of a just-jacked-car hanging onto the the car door handle as you floor it down the highway. (pull a handbrake turn and see him/her roll up the road under another cars wheels for extra sadistic fun!)
4) Algonquin skyline at night from anywhere in Broker
5) Paintscrapes on your car for little knocks, larger dents for bigger impacts, bullet holes in the right places on your car, front windscreen included
6) Whistling for a cab and when it came near the licence plate said fresh and it had dice the mirror... anyway, being a passenger for a while makes it fun to just look around.
7) Q-Lazzarus Goodbye Horses on 97.8 Liberty City Rock Radio, I thought I'd only ever hear this amazing tune on Silence Of The Lambs & Clerks 2! (This is best listened to whilst driving a rusty beaten old car over the Broker Bridge late at night...after Michelle has dumped your ass!)
8.) The Triangle Club & Split Sides.
9) Calling 948-555-0100 from your mobile and getting track name and artist via text (Very handy for itunes downloads of 5x5 tunes not known before) Also call 911 for one of 3 main emergency services to come to your position
10) Going to the irish bar with Roman at 2am and getting very, very drunk. Don't try to drive though if the cops are about.
11) and 1 more, Every, dam, thing about Little Jacob. GTA 5 should have Little Jacob as the main character and Tuff Gong as the main radio station. (By the way check out Jacob on the Police onboard computer, It gives you his rap sheet, BTW thats another thing, the Police computer for seeing characters wanted sheets!)

And those of you with GTA IV your best bits are.?

Lets get tannoyance out the way first,

To all you who play Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Online, This game is about real driving, personal car of choice against other's favourites, out-braking & slip-streaming, knowing the lines of a track...so why oh why do you P.I.T at every opportunity, and generally drive like a bulldozer instead of a strategic driver with a beautifully tuned italian curved beauty?... If i had wanted Burnout style play i would've bought burnout.. or played destruction derby.

Oh Double annoyed.. Why can't I get my MGS Online Beta to work?

Anyway..
Excitement cause GTA IV is out on Tuesday....Whooo! I've pretty much cained Oblivion now and with no downloadable content on PS3 (someone needs to sort that out straight away) I guess thats it for Cyrodill. But Tuesday 29th April GTA IV lands. This is it kids, what the PS3 needs. And it reaches us in just a few short days, Well I've managed to blag Tuesday off work & something tells me I may have poorly tummy for the rest of the week and will have to call in sick.. Like the PS3 Network website says 'There simply isn't room to go into every new innovation and gameplay feature that GTA IV has managed to cram onto a single Bluray' [Hang on..Blurays are HUUUGGEE!] 'All you need to know is that it is not an overstatement to call GTA IV one of the best games of all time'... i have loved GTA since the first 11 Years ago.. On Tuesday things in PS3 World are gonna get good....and my social life will suck...But that will only last a short spell cause....

Oh Double excited.. In just over 3 weeks I'm on holiday.. To Canada!

OH and quick question, taking my 6 yr old niece shopping in the city tomorrow, she has a DS what game do i buy her?
