Sorry, no cool panda pictures today!

I couldn't be bothered to do a blog last week, I was off work and too busy sleeping and that kind of malarky But I'm back now you'll all be pleased to know! I spent a large chunk of my long weekend playing GTA IV, I wasn't that impressed at first to be honest, but as I've played the game I totally get why it's got rave reviews, although I necessarily wouldn't agree with the 10, it'd probably be a 9.75 in my book I've not played it much this week, and doubt I really will until my new strategy guide arrives, courtesy of the GSUK podcast competition I want the Liberty City Minute achievement so I will need all the help I can get!

I've preordered GRID also, I've not got round to playing the demo get, but it basically looks like DiRT but on a road. So I'm sure I'll love it which reminds me I need to finish getting those last elusive achievements for DiRT. I've been attempting to play Wii Fit every day too. So far I've lost a pound, gained a pound, then lost it again...so it's going to be a long hard road to lose that 2st! I really like the rhythm boxing, it's a lot more of a work out than it looks and the Mii trainer has a hilarious gruff voice! I find it really hard to do the yoga and muscle ones though, because they are just a bit boring, so I'm really only doing the balance games and the aerobic ones.

Also: ONLY 2 WEEKS 'TIL ROCK BAND! I feel like I should have some kind of Rock Band outfit to play it in like spandex leggings, and a studded leather jacket lol

Hmmm my G/F is trying to get me to get Wii fit (what is she trying to say LOL) it sounds fun but then as alot of people have pointed out to me I should just go out jogging or something?!?! Still not played GTA I don't know why just haven't enjoyed the others for whatever reason... and well I guess see you on Grid when it arrives!

2 weeks until Rock Band is amazing! I honestly cannot wait. I hope I have GTA4 finished by then, already finished the story, I am talking about the whole thing!

Yes, they may overpushed the score of GTAIV (and huge marketing did the trick too) So you played DIRT? (the last game from now r.i.p. Collin McRae) ... yeah i am also looking forward to GRID game (PC), but so far it looks a bit like arcadish game in my perspective...

Sounds good. Race Driver is quite good, I didn't like it at first as I was hoping for next gen TOCA but it has grown on me. Its a tad more arcade style handling but it could be more fun this way. The demo is live enabled as well so you can play it online, there is 3 levels in the demo, 1 euro touring car race (BMW car on a Spanish track I think), 1 mucle car race (San Fransisco in a Ford GT) and 1 drift race which I have not tried yet. Graphics wise its nice and adds to the gameplay (when you spin you get smoke and can't see a thing which adds to the gameplay as you need to be careful not to run into others or go of course).

Should be interesting to see how Codemasters work this F1 license.

I know what you mean about GTAIV. At first it seems like a purely technical achievement but once you start getting into it, it just gets better and better. I completely understand why it got the 'better than the sum of it's parts' merit.

As for Wii Fit, I just don't get it. I was convinced that it would fall down the crack between two niches but instead it has spanned them marvellously. I doff my hat to thee, Nintendo.

With those results, im sure the Wii fit was worthwile investment

Well, I hope you enjoy Rock Band when it comes out...:sigh: I'll be waiting with my PS3...

I agree with you on GTA, I mean a 10 for that? It's pretty ridiculous. 8.5 in my opinion, most of the missions seem the same and you can walk through them with great ease. The only thing that I thought stood out for it was the storyline/script.

Can't wait until Rock Band! A week today is my last exam, and two weeks today is when it finally gets released. I'm still riled about how they handled the European release in general, but I can't help but be ecstatic about the impending release.

I think I must be the only one who doesnt want Rock Band. Ive never liked GH either. If people put the same effort into playing a real instrument they might be half decent. Thats just my opinion. Have fun anyway

Yer i really want GTA but will wait till it comes out for pc
Posted May 10, 2008 2:51 am PT
I'm also going to wait until GTA IV comes out on PC to get it. It looks amazing though and I wish it came out sooner.

Also I can't wait to play Rockband!!!

Im still not sold on RockBand. I was all for it untill i heard id have to sell my organs on the black market to pay for it.

One of my mates has it for PS3 (import) but some Heroin addict broke into his flast last week and robbed his PS3 with the rockband disk in the tray. The ultimate rock and roll gaming story

I'm still trying to get the PS3 version of Rock Band.
Posted May 10, 2008 4:13 pm PT
I want to get rock band, but I don't fancy paying that much for it though Think I'd rather put it toward buying a PS3 or even a Wii.
Posted May 12, 2008 6:16 am PT
Wii fit is still impossible to get, I don't really see why a lot of peeps would pay for a machine to tell them there fat, I wanna try it tho it I wonder what it will say since I'm under weight sit on the board and eat burgers? GTA4 would be worth a play if I had a console but I've never been interested in rock band like bbs said real instruments ftw.
Posted May 12, 2008 7:36 am PT
i cant wait for RB- that is, until its out on PS3 and doesnt require getting a second mortgage to buy... ah well, i'll just leech off my friends who are gonna buy the game. :p
Posted May 12, 2008 8:12 am PT
yep i agree gta4 didnr deserve 10 id give it 9.5 at the most. ive ordered rockband and really cant wait to get on the drums and jm with my mates.
Posted May 14, 2008 1:51 pm PT
I my opinion there isn't a game on the market that would get a 10. 10 for me is perfection but all the games i've played there's always been something i'd change if I could.
Posted May 20, 2008 3:09 am PT
it took me a while to get GTA as well but it grew on me eventually. Like everyone's saying, I still wouldn't give it a 10. A high 9 perhaps.
Posted May 22, 2008 12:03 am PT
I wouldn't give gta a 10/10 in my opinon its an 8, because of weak multiplayer (that allows lock on WTF) and a reaaaaaaaaaaaly sloooooow start. oh btw rock band is in me mail box w00t now i just need to find a way to get a drum kit to israel, suggetions?
