Grand Theft Auto IV

[NUN-PUNCHER]

I actually got the hype running through my veins. It's been a long time since I played a GTA game, and with the new one being on a Next-Gen console definetly adds to the excitement.

I can't believe how excited I am for this game.

Usually I think, "oh a good game" and then go back to my boring day. Not with this one, I just can't help feeling fuzzy inside.

This game was delayed by 6 months and people are still crazy for it. That says something right there.

It's kinda like the Xbox website, just it's only for R* games. (GTAIV at the moment)

You register, and then you can see your various stats. You can also see a map which is split into different areas and it tells you the area with the most crime in it, basically showing where the most havoc is caused by players.

The site doesn't really have many features yet because the games isn't out, but you just wait. There will be competitions and stuff announced on there also, they claim competitions will be regular also.

It is pretty much the R* equivalent of the old SOCOM 3 stat site, although this one is actually good and gets updated.

Pre-registering gets you 2 things really. 1 is a chance to win a portrait of yourself in GTA style, and 2 you don't have to contend with the millions of people signing up on launch day.

I just registered now but my flash is playing up as usual.

Sounds a lot like Bungie's site for Halo more than it sounds like the Socom site.

I just read the UK OXM review on this. I feel sick now. Nothing I do is going to make the 29th come quick enough.

Order a U.S. copy.

That's how Dakilla played Socom with us when he lived in Germany.

same here, but i found a way around it. all day at work i was pretending to build a time machine, unfortunately once i was done the damned thing looked and operated exactly like a kitchen pantry.

it wasn't a time machine but it did make the day seem like it went by a little faster than usual.

Ah, I think I had the same problem. The proton accelerator can end up looking like a sink if you do it wrong. You should have read the manual...

Its only single figures until it comes out now. 8 days. I have decided I will be queueing at midnight. I have to work on the 29th, so I'll have to get my fix through the early hours. Looks like I'll need plenty of redbull.

Where are you getting yours from?

I was just told the game will be available for pickup on release day, I don't think the shop (GAME) is letting us get it at midnight. It's in a crappy shopping centre that used to open 'til 1am but now they lock the doors around 9pm.

I think it would be brutal for me to get it at midnight, I wouldn't have time to play it before having to go to bed.

PS: GTAIV advert just came on TV, I saw it 11 times in 3 hours last night.
