Everybody has waited a long time for this, but it’s finally here: GTA 4. I’m one of the lucky gamers that allready had his hands on a copy. Here in Belgium, the Game Mania stores opent here doors to start the sale at exactly 00:00 h. I have to admit, I was surprised of all the people that where there. We where with more then 50 people at the store in Oudenaarde.

I can’t say mutch about the game yet. I only got home around 1 am and just played the first few “missions” to get the hang of it. But my first impression is that this will most likely be the best GTA ever, although I have to get used to the more realistic graphics and new controls.

I’m still waiting for some sales numbers. I’m pritty curious how many copies have been sold for PS3 and Xbox360  (I bought the PS3 version, since I don’t own a Xbox 360).

I can’t wait to play more tonight. Next game in line is Metal Gear Sold 4

I just bought Burnout: Paradise City, since I have some free time at hand. So once getting back from the store, I fired up my PS3 and wanted to try out the game. But when I started the game, I got a message I needed to update to version 1.1. I was like: “WTF…” .

Luckaly, it didn’t take to long to download and install, but it had me thinking. Since the next generation consoles came out, games and firmware can be easaly updated. And don’t get me wrong, it is a good thing if you ask me, but still, only one week after a game comes out, blam, an update. That’s just a bit off in my opinion. I don’t know what the update is about, but I think it will be bug solver. Good thing you can update right . Well yes and no. Yes, otherwise you would be stuck with a buggy game and no for the fact that thanks to the easy update facilities of the next gen consoles, games get rushed from the developers to the store shelves.

That with the chanse of half finished games that still contain minor (or maybe in the future) big bugs in them. Hopefully, it won’t happen to mutch in the future.
