Swedish GTAIV Bundle

April 7th, 2008, 5 Comments

gtagaming is reporting that a Swedish retailer revealed a GTA IV and PS3 bundle. Supposedly it would go for sale for the same price as the GT5 Prologue bundle which launched a week ago.

This is a great idea on Sony’s part. Lots of people who bought PS2’s bought it just for GTA. And when they see a GTA IV and PS3 bundle in the stores, they might think that’s it’s probably time to move up to the current generation.

Hopefully North America will see a similar bundle.

PS I posted this article from Flock, what may become my replacement for Firefox. I checked it out a while ago and it wasn’t so good back then. But I tried it again today, and it’s great! It integrates a lot things I do together in one easy to use place.

New Metal Gear Online Info

April 4th, 2008, 10 Comments

MGO

The Sneaking Mission mode is returning with a bang! This was a very fun mode to play in MGS3 Online. They’ve made some great changes for Metal Gear Online. Now you don’t have to get to a certain goal anymore. Snakes objective is to collect dog tags by killing other people, he can even use his Octocam! If there is enough people somebody can even control the Metal Gear Mk.II to assist snake. How cool is that! I don’t think I’ll be playing any other game online once MGO is out :)

Also there are 2 teams trying to kill snake. If they don’t kill snake enough times before the match is done. Whoever kills the other team more wins. This mode sounds like so much fun. MGO will have online matchmaking too.

MGO will also be getting expansion packs in the future, and will feature anything from new maps, modes, people, weapons, etc. The starter pack includes 5 maps.

Be sure to pre-order MGS4 to get the Metal Gear Saga Vol.2 DVD for access to the MGO Beta which you can download April 17th. And check out this Metal Gear Name Generator. Mine is Discharger Squirrel, lol.

Warhawk 1.3 Patch has landed

April 2nd, 2008, 6 Comments

Included in the free patch is the new Warhawk paintjobs and insignias made by the fans. Plus a couple new ways to kill you opponents.

  • Field Mechanic’s Wrench (You can kill enemies and repair vehicles)
  • Bio-Field Generator (Acts like a mine, sticks to anything. Heals comrades and slowly kills enemies)
  • Another plus is the option to turn “Open Mic” off if you want. A interesting thing is that Home Game Launching is supported in the 1.3 patch. Is this a hint that Home is coming soon? Anyway, below is a video of the 1.3 Patch.
