Grand Theft Auto IV Update

Many people (including me) are anticipating the release of Grand Theft Auto IV by Rockstar Games in a couple of weeks. For me, it seems to have been a long time since Rockstar Games released "GTA San Andreas". With the newest installment of GTA debuting on the next generation consoles, I am excited to get my hands on a copy the day it comes out. Just a couple of days ago, I even went out and reserved my copy of GTA IV for the PS3 console.

Well today, while browsing the headlines over at IGN.com, they revealed a couple of new radio stations that will be in the new Grand Theft Auto IV game. Be sure to head on over to the Official GTA IV Website for more details.

Also, below is a widget I grabbed off the GTA website, full of information pertaining to GTA IV :




Enjoy!

Birdie Shot

When professional athletes get into trouble, you typically think of athletes in sports such as basketball, football and baseball. Rarely, if ever, do you ever think of golfers on the PGA Tour (Besides John Daly).

Well today must be one of those rare days, as according to ESPN.com, PGA golfer Tripp Isenhour intentionally shot a golf ball at an endangered species bird and killed it during a video shoot for a television show. Read Full Article

After reading that article, I have come to the conclusion that Isenhour "Birdied" the hole.

KJ for Mayor?

Are you tired of hearing presidential mumbo jumbo about John McCain, Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton, the past couple days??? I am. Seems like everyday, a new story between Obama/Clinton surfaces everyday, and John McCain is patiently waiting to see who he will battle out for President of the USA. Quite frankly, I cannot wait until a new president is elected, as politics have been in the news way too much.

However, last night I read some rather interesting political story that was not about the next president of the USA. Instead it was about former Phoenix Suns point guard Kevin Johnson declaring his candidacy for Sacramento Mayor :

(March 5th - Sacramento Business Journal)

Kevin Johnson, a Sacramento developer and former NBA all-star, announced his candidacy for mayor Wednesday evening.

Johnson will challenge Mayor Heather Fargo, who filed papers on Monday to run for her third term. Johnson has picked up campaign papers, but has not filed them. The deadline to do so is Friday.

Johnson is the chief executive officer of St .Hope, which runs charter schools and has completed development projects in Oak Park. Johnson announced his campaign at the Guild Theater, which is part of his Oak Park redevelopment project.

Ten people have picked up the papers required to enter the mayor race, according to the city of Sacramento Web site. Only Fargo, Richard Jones and Shawn Eldridge have filed papers so far.

My Brand New System

So in my previous post, I voiced my current displeasure about my XBox 360. Sure its a great system, but at the same time, Microsoft's gaming console has been a pain in the ass with the slew of technical problems that have come with purchasing the system.


After writing this article about my 360, the thought of purchasing a PlayStation 3 truly invaded my head for the first time. Sure whenever I've been having problems with my XBox 360, the thought of owning a PS3 has come to my mind, but with my games freezing up more and more as of late, the thought has gotten even bigger. As I went to bed Monday night, I sat in my bed seriously contemplating going to the store and purchasing a PS3 on Tuesday morning.

When I woke up Tuesday, I still felt like getting PlayStation3. With MLB 08: The Show set to be released as well, it gave me another reason to want to grab the PS3 from a store shelf. So after doing some thinking, reading up on the console a little bit more, I figured I was going to go through with this purchase.

I went to my local Best Buy, and ended up picking up both a PS3 and MLB 08. I was lucky as I was able to get a free copy of Spiderman 3 on Blue-Ray with my PS3 purchase. Still having PS3 fever after going to Best Buy, I also ran over to a local video game store and reserved my copy of GTA IV for yes...the PS3.

Upon arriving home, I hooked up the PS3 and played MLB 08: The Show. After about two hours of playing, I was very satisfied with the purchase. MLB 08 was a great first game to buy, and I've really enjoyed playing it thus far. Also with GTA set to come out in 54 days, I am now anxiously awaiting the release of that game onto the PS3 as well.

Looking back at buying the PS3, the decision was a tough one, but I think it was the right move. Sure the XBox 360 has been fun to play, but since purchasing the PS3, I have yet to even touch my 360. Also, the relief of not having any flashing red lights, disc read errors and frozen games to deal with has been a welcomed change as well.
