GTA IV Day is almost here

As GTA IV goes on sale across the globe (New Zealand was the first place for it to officially go on sale) over the next few hours, I am looking forward to spending MUCH time with the story and multi-player modes. I just checked, and we can already see quite a few people on Xbox LIVE already enjoying the game (and unlocking achievements.) If you already have your copy, then look for me online tonight (and early tomorrow morning) as I’d be down for checking out the multiplayer with some blog readers. Maybe a little Race or Cops n’ Crooks? I am sure a lot of people are going to be taking tomorrow ‘off’, but if you are going to call in umm ‘sick’ tomorrow for work/school…what is your excuse?

See you in Liberty City

DLC: Army of Two

Are you in to robotics?

I mean, after all who doesn’t like robots? If they flip your switch, then RoboChamps is for you. It is a Microsoft sponsored contest where you get free simulated robots and simulated environments to compete against one another to win real robots. Check out the 10.net video above to see the connection to gaming. If you had a bot, how would you use it in your gaming ?  

I even had to create a new tag on the blog to properly handle this post.

Edit: If you don’t want to install Silverlight to view the video, you can download various versions here. Click ‘Downloads’ and choose your favorite flavor.

GH III: Def Leppard Track Pack

Demo: Operation Darkness

A few things for your Wednesday

Football fans will find out this Friday who is going to get the Madden curse cover this year as EA holds the big unveil event in New York City. Keep an eye on Inside Xbox for reports directly from the event in NYC. As a mid-week time waster, Xbox.com has a walk down memory lane with a page showing all the covers from the past twenty years.

Finally, if you want to win a custom Xbox 360 Guitar controller (that will work with favorite GH or Rock Band game) head over to the Xbox All-Nighter on how you can get walk away with one of the coolest controllers I have ever seen come into the Xbox headquarters:

Also, Keep an eye on my Twitter tonight…I’ll be posting a few mystery marketplace codes to redeem on your console. When I post the code, the first person to successfully redeem it wins. Since each code is only good once, you have to be fast. The easiest way to enter a code is to go to the Marketplace blade and click Redeem Code. This opportunity is open to everyone with an Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE. Good luck!
