  One Hundred Percent

  Hey,

  Long time no blog... I've been quite busy but after 48 hours I've finally achieved 100% on GTA IV. It was good but I didn't like the city as much as San Andreas, it just seemed a bit dull. It's meant to be realistic but how cars flip over sometimes are ridiculous. Well it's only their first go this generation, I'd give it an 8/10.

  

  Sign here if you've done it with your times. This is just a flying visit... Laters!

  LameSpot

  If Jeff goes this place is going to be very dull.

  That's all I'm going to say.

  Anyone NOT hyped for Halo 3?

  I'm pretty sure 90% of GameSpot (or at least the Xbox section) is eagerly waiting to get their hands on this. I'm not a fanboy or biased towards one particular platform or genre but I've never really been a fan of Halo. It's not my cup of tea (I prefer shooters like R6) and like Jeff stated in his review the kids on XBL can be annoying, although to be fair I've not played it too much in multiplayer. I played through Halo 1 and 2-mainly because I got them free withmy first and second Xbox console- and I know many people who like them, but I'm not a fan, it's nothing special to me. Anyway I was just wondering, anyone else not really bothered about it?

  In other news I completed Saints Row the other week. This has an even worse online community than Halo, geez seriously everyone thinks they're black and "gangstas" in real lifeand theres no sense of fun, everyones swearing which isn't necessarily bad but it's an uncomfortable atmosphere and not fun for me. There's a few decent guys but it's just rubbish online. I got it free though so it's not too bad.

  I also picked up NHL 08 as soon as I could. I couldn't find it on realease day in the UK in Tesco but got it the day after. Not as cheap as usual. If you fancy a game, give me a PM (although the online connection errors are testing my patience ATM, I can only play via lobbies for some reason and have had to contact EA). I played one game online and lost 2-1, it was pretty close, I nearly nicked it; I hit the post and was so close to scoring with the goalie on the wrong side of the net. I presume it was unranked as my stats haven't changed. It was funny last night when I was playing it half way through a penalty shootout in a tie game they started randomly showing highlights of before what had happened in the game lol. I've seen the goalie just glitch one time too where he just stood still for ages and the players just skated around, nothing happened, no face-off. I'm having some trouble with the face-offs too when shooting down screen, the CPU either wins every one or I knock it forward every time. I've tried various different control methods pushing the sticks in different directions but it keeps happening. I'm probably doing something wrong but I don't know what. When going up it's easy, I win those most of the time. Also it's pretty hard to score, last matches I lost 8-4 but won 2-0 (although the last was a gimme because the CPU pulled their goalie) and the CPU seems to score a lot. I'm on Pro at the moment using a few sliders and it's still challenging (heck I even lost on the easiest difficulty unfortunately). It's also really frustrating when the CPU scores some cheap goals. Still I keep coming back to get beat lol. I probably have a 1:2 or 1:3 win to loss ratio.

  EDIT:

  Sorry for the words pushed together but GameSpot is still being stupid.
