Long before this game was released on the XBOX 360, the world was treated to stylized images of Niko Bellic and the deliciously sultry chick with a lollipop balanced precariously upon the tip of her tongue. It was this steamy female, whose name was rumored to be Lola del Rio, which got me intrigued and not the Russian lead character in Grand Theft Auto IV, one of the most anticipated game of the year. Along with the rest of the gaming population, I am still wondering if Rockstar made her out to be a character or merely part of their marketing gimmick to attract potential buyers who were smitten with Miss Lollipop.

Anyway, I digress. In GTA IV, you play as Niko Bellic, a Russian immigrant who has just arrived in Liberty City (which bears an uncanny resemblance to New York, down to the Statue of Liberty) to have a taste of the great American dream. He lives with his Cousin Roman and does various odd jobs from picking up girls, delivering questionable packages and yes, stealing cars ranging from the common GT to a deliciously sleek Aston Martin.

GTA IV Tips

Some achievements are tough to well, achieve in this game. I find the “Rolled Over” achievement among the hardest. A tip for those who want the allocated 30 points: Just head over to the airport and seek out a series of ramps, try to do at least five flips while airborne and voila, achievement unlocked! A quick GTA IV tip

Snapping at the heels of Guitar Hero III is Rock Band, a similar rhythm game that gives players the freedom to pretend that they are a rock star, AND lets them get away with it too.

I am amazed how no one has thought about pitting players against armed with a guitar, bass, drums and their vocal prowess against each other before, but developer Harmonix obviously has a gem in their hands with Rock Band. This game is more about cooperative multiplayer than anything, because obviously you cannot form a rock band all on your own! Players basically team up in a rock band to create performances and gain the highest scores together as they play a medley of 40 officially licensed musical tracks.

If you already own Guitar Hero and think that getting Rock Band is a waste of time, do rethink your decision. The guitar in Rock Band is a little larger and sports a longer neck than Guitar Hero’s. Most notable differences are the bigger fret keys and a secondary set of buttons that lets you perform solos. It also have built-in effects switcher which lets you incorporate echo, flange and other effects into the songs you play.

Overall, this is a great party game. Those who play it will not be bored with the endless opportunities of switching roles in their “rock band”. Karaoke anyone?

Nothing much has changed in the game play although enemies’ Artificial Intelligence has been slightly increased. Another notable feature is the ACES system that stands for “Advanced Combat Enhancement and Specialization”. Players will be given a great array of weapons depending on the tactics employed to progress through the game, namely Marksman, Assault and CQB (Close Quarter Battle). Translated, this means that if one of your opponents fell by Headshot, you might unlock a spiffy new sniper riffle thanks to the Marksman division as detected by the ACES system.

Regrettably, this game suffered from a barrage of bugs that resulted in tons of complains from loyal fans of the franchise. Lag has been known to occur not only in multiplayer modes but also when one tries to complete the story mode alone. And the biggest let down came in the form of the “Freedom Shall Prevail” achievement. Some players reported that they did not manage to unlock that particular achievement even though they completed the story mode on Realistic difficulty. This was quickly rectified with a timely update from Ubisoft. I am glad that was remedied. Call me a gamer score whore but I could never get over not having 75 points added to the final tally even after finishing the game!

First, if you are as frustrated about the XBOX Live demo download region lockout, you might consider this trick in order to gain free access to your favorite downloadable content. Due to copyright and other unknown reasons, some IP addresses are blocked when XBOX Live subscribers tried to download game demos off XBOX Live. For instance, when Fight Night Round 3 was first released, many European gamers were unhappy that they were denied access to the EA boxing game. Should you find yourself in a similar situation, you can head to www.passport.com and create a new Hotmail account. Once prompted, do select either Japan, USA or Europe as your country of origin depending on the demos which you need to download. Next, insert the appropriate details to indirectly “fool” Microsoft into actually believing that you belong to the pre-selected country, even when you do not. You can make use of the following information prior to confirming you new Passport account:

United States (US)
Postal Code: 10012
State: New York, City New York City
Phone Number: 1-866-530-1234

Japan (Asia)
Postal Code: 150-2345
Province: Tokyo-to
Phone Number: 3201-3331

Germany (Europe)
Postal Code: 54292
City: Trier
Phone Number: 065112345

Upon account activation, switch on your XBOX 360 and create a new profile and a corresponding XBOX Live account, preferably a Silver account. Enter the phone number used when you registered the “fake” account, wait for final confirmation and voila, a brand new Asian/US/European XBOX Live account that lets you access content from all three continents! Pretty nifty isn’t it?
