I went to the midnight opening at Gamestop near my house to purchase the game.  That was interested because it was first midnight release party that i had ever been too.  There were about 100 people split into 2 lines.  Our local mall has 2 gamestops in it.  One for the bottom floor and one for the upper floor.  So, i assumed that you were supposed to get into whatever line of the store it was that you pre-ordered the game.  So, i went in the upstairs line.

 They us in the mall around 11:30 pm.  So, some people were out there waiting for an hour.  Actually, i was expecting a bigger turn out, but i guess most people were waiting til the next day to get the game.  Well, i am a game addict so i needed to get it the day it came out. Also, being a former employee of Take 2 Interactive, and this being the flagship product from that company, made it all that more interesting.  I have played GTA since GTA came out on the PC so many years ago.  The game was controversial then and its controversial now.

 Grand Theft Auto 4 is definitely not for kids.  Don’t let them play it.  In fact its your job as a parent to “torture” your kid.  So don’t let them play it eventhough they are dieing too!

 Anyway, so i got the game at around 12:15am and made it back to my house for a nice gaming session.  I played for about 2 hours and I text my cousin who also got the game.  We are all playing it on the PS3.  So if you want to challenge me leave a comment on my blog and lets something up. 

The game is well improved over San Andreas.  The largest improvement besides the graphics upgrade is the addition of multiplayer.  FANTASTIC!  It’s so much playing online with my friends and going crazy in the big city.  I haven’t really ever had this much with a videogame before.   It’s total fun.

I’ll be writing more on this game too as i plan to be playing it an awful lot.

For now, i am signing off to catch some ZZZzzzz’s.

So why was he returning it?  Apparently whenever he put a disc into the Xbox 360 he gets an error saying that its not a valid Xbox 360 disc.  The remedy from what I heard from another customer is you have to keep opening up the xbox and closing the xbox until it reads the disc.  I’ve never had this problem with my PS2 or PS3 yet, knock on wood.  So there is another reason why you shouldn’t get an Xbox 360.  They are expensive and the hardware is cheap = rip-off.

Ok, sorry for starting this topic off with that little story, but when I went to Gamestop I waited 10 minutes for all that to happen only to find out that Call of Duty 4 had sold out.  I had them call the White Marsh Gamestop and they were sold out too.  This is really starting to suck.

So, i remember years ago when i bought my PS2 the day it came out, I went to Toys R Us near my house.  I’m not sure if people have forgotten that it is there or what not but everytime I’ve needed to get something like a PS2 or a game, they have always had it in stock.  So, I pressed my luck and gave it another try.  Sure enough they had like 10 copies of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  Winner, winner!  5 minutes later I’m the proud owner of a new PS3 game.

 A couple of quick things about the game.  #1, its beautiful.  The graphics are astounding.  But more importantly, #2, the gameplay is exciting and fast paced.  I don’t want to give anything away, but the first mission is really well done.  I felt I was in a movie.  So go buy it, play it, and tell me if I’m crazy.  I think this game totally owns Halo 3.  The Multiplayer game is alot of fun and unique too.  You start of with no XP points.  The more kills you make, the more XP you get and you get to unlock things in the game by earning XP.  A very neat feature to make multiplayer even cooler then it normally is.  Now, you’re actually out there fighting to get XP.

Well, i just wanted to tell you, I give this game clearly 2 thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5 stars, and so on.

So, stop reading this and go buy it.  Meet me online sometime to you punks…my name on my PS3 is IJoeR316.  Don’t be surprised if i snipe you.
