Easy money Go to an ATM, then cause a traffic jam to the area. Wait for someone to take money from the ATM, then kill him or her. Make sure to block any nearby roads so the ambulance cannot get to the murdered victim. Take the money they dropped on the ground. Then, run a short distance away, and go back. The money should have respawned on the ground. You can repeat this as many times as desired. You can also kill more people taking their money from the ATM to increase the amount of money that respawns. -From: Khairol161

Repairing engine If the vehicle you are driving breaks down and the engine will not start, call 911, and your engine should start again.

Fast travel To avoid wasting time driving all the way across the city, call a taxi. They will take you to your destination for your mission, stores, safehouses, or even a waypoint marker. You can skip through the taxi ride, allowing you to travel across the entire city in about ten seconds. This can also be done during missions.

Easy headshots It is sometimes difficult to get headshots, which do count. With some practice, doing the following is an easy way to get headshots. Press [Auto-Aim], then use the Right Analog-stick to move the auto-aim target around your victim's body. Barely move the Right Analog-stick as you are shooting. This puts bullets in the chest and head, and results in an easy instant kill.

Getting away from police When running away from the cops, you will have a circular area in which they look for you. However, if you get out and another cop sees you, it changes. To use this to your advantage, barely get out of that circle, which you will see on your radar. Then, just sit there for about five seconds instead of flooring past it.

Regaining health during missions You can leave the mission area and go to a Cluckin' Bell, hotdog stand, etc. and eat food to replenish your health if you are low and cannot find a health pack. This is especially useful on missions where there are no health packs in sight. Note: You can also take a taxi to those locations during missions.

Avoiding toll booths Drive through any toll booth with any emergency vehicle with the sirens on. The booth attendant will open the gate, and you will save $5.

$100 for all ringtones and themes After getting the phone from Playboy X, go to the nearest Internet cafe. Buy all of the ringtones and themes from the ringtones site. Log out of the computer, and you will notice that you only paid $100 for all ringtones and themes.

Wii Fit

Well I ended up getting a Wii Fit today and might I say I am impressed. To be honest, when I got it, I was under the impression it was going to be more child oriented, with easy exercises and simple games. Nintendo definitely impressed me when I turned the game on. It has a measuring system to indicate your BMI (Body Mass Index) based on your height and age. Wii Fit then goes ahead and assigns you a Wii Fit Age based on how you score on the balance tests. I took a picture of my Wii Fit in all its glory.




I'll keep my progress updated. Wii Fit tracks your workouts and develops graphs and statistics based off your continual use. It also has a full on calendar that lets you know what days you've worked out or missed. Here's a picture I took of my main scree using my Mii.






The time I've missed, in Review!

It's been a little while since I've posted, due to holidays and my crazy work schedule. It's pouring rain outside and I decided to take a day off.

Now let me review what has happened since I left off.

Xbox 360 Exec Shane Kim did an interview the other day for gametrailers.com in a properly titled video Spring Showcase 08. He talks about the upcoming games we're all excited to play and talks about the rumors surrounding the idea that Xbox 360 is working to mimic the wii-mote technology and improve upon it. Heres the video, check it!




More Left 4 Dead gameplay videos released!
I am really excited for this game, sorry to any ps3 or wii gamers, this one is only on the PC and Xbox 360. Check this trailer out, if you love zombie movies or just the idea of running and gunning tons of braindead people with a group of friends, have a see!





Skate 2 also had some trailers released for it, if you're a fan of the first game I wouldn't doubt you'd be very excited to see some of these trailers.
  1. Skate Deuce Trailer
  2. What Happened to That Dude Trailer
  3. What Happened to The City Trailer
That almost wraps up this review of the week.

Bonus Mentions:
Be sure to check out a game called Dead Space, it seems to be getting a bit of hype recently, if you're a survival horor (seemingly a big Doom fan) then you'd really enjoy checking this game out.

Silent Hill : Homecoming seems to be sparking some attention in the same genre. Survival horror games are popping up all over the place, but we all know there are a few that have survived by solid gameplay. One main one of course being Silent Hill.


This weeks Why?
So this being the first this weeks why, I'm going to be blunt. I have been looking for a good boxing game since the last Fight Night came out. Sadly, I am still looking after the trailers of Prizefighter came out, when I saw the pictures I got excited, but let down immediately when I saw gameplay. The game looks brutal, and not even worth a link. Please make another Fight Night, it will sell like hotcakes I guarantee.

New Age of Conan Crafting Video

So finally, a game takes a page out of Ultima Onlines book and implements player cities. This, in my opinion, has always been a great idea and adds another aspect to the game making you feel more attached to the world. Rather than just roaming around cities like homeless person, you have a place to keep your stuff and meet with friends. I would like it if they actually would allow people to have their own individual houses, but developing a guild city seems to be pretty impressive in its own right. Take a look.

Blizzard gains control of Diablo3.com


So it has been almost 8 years since Diablo 2 has been released and 11 years since the series was first released with great success. The Diablo series still holds strong to this day, obviously being overshadowed by blizzard's World of Warcraft, nonetheless, the fan base is strong. The series as a whole has sold 11 million copies, making it very difficult to believe that blizzard would not continue the franchise. They claim that gaining ownership over Diablo3.com does not mean that they have or are even considering the fact of Diablo 3. Obviously they would say this because gaining control of this site will cause a big stir in the diablo community keeping fan boys hopeful without actually giving any promise. World of Warcraft, although still going strong, seems to be slowly but surely reaching its pinnacle with the expansions giving wowers even more twists and turns to look forward to. With all the hype going around about Starcraft 2, blizzard has completely cemented itself a cherished spot in the gaming world.

Right now the site links to www.diablofans.com.
Check it out, it explains all about whats going on with the site and how blizzard went about gaining control of it.
Thats all for today, stay tuned!

New Gametrailers TV (Gears of War 2 Gameplay!!)

So epic games released some gameplay footage from Gears of War 2 last night on gametrailers tv. The gameplay looks very impressive and the new engine allowing even more enemies to be on the screen at the same time is pretty astounding. The trailer also describes what the story of the second installment is going to be about. Just watch the trailer, if you're a fan of the series so far, it's going to be hard to not get excited. Also you can just go to gametrailers.com and check it out in HD!



Gametrailers Tv also had a few interviews with the guys from the upcoming Ghostbusters game.



I'm looking forward to seeing how this game turns

Bourne Conspiracy Demo

Well the Bourne Conspiracy Demo just came out (for xbox 360) and I must say, I am very impressed with this game. The fighting system they have brought in is mind blowing, allowing you to use your surroundings to inflict damage on your enemies. The demo also comes with 3 levels, which is very impressive for a demo.

  • The first level consists mainly of melee combat, teaching you how the fighting system works, as well as teaching you how to sprint and pick locks.

  • The second level introduces you to the shooting system, which takes a few seconds to get a grasp of, but it's pretty similar to all the new games coming out, cover, and shoot around.
  • The third and final level brings in the driving aspect of the game, which is very arcade like, but seems like it would fit well with this game. The demo is action packed start to finish, and I hope the full game delivers.

I would say this game is a Must Buy.

Gears of War 2 Gameplay Almost Here!

It is now 5 days till the Gears of War 2 gameplay trailer is released on gametrailers tv on spike..
Pretty excited to see what this games going to be utilizing from the modified engine they're running. Obviously gears of war was one of the most popular games for the xbox 360, my only concern is that the company will not be able to live up to it's November release date. However, since they're releasing gameplay footage on friday, that means that they are definitely well into developing the game so I'm not sure if releasing on time will be a problem unless last minute bugs hold them back.

That's it for today, check back soon for my review of grand theft auto 4 (only 52% done the game, can't rightfully review it without completing the game).
