GTA 4 Cheats by Cheatmasters
Grand Theft Auto 4 is arguably the most anticipated new release of the decade, and the wait is about to be over with it’s imminent release on April 29th. If you haven’t already pre-ordered it, do it now - as it could well be banned in your country very soon.
GTA 4 brings us back to the streets of Liberty City, Rockstars’ fictional imitation of New York. The streets are just as rough in Liberty City, perhaps rougher, and Rockstar has gone to great lengths to re-create some of New York’s most recognizable landmarks to feature in your destructive reign of crime.
You take the role of Russian outcast Nikolai Bellic, or Niko. Niko comes to Liberty City with a dream, a dream imagined for him by his cousin Roman. A dream of easy money, easy women and the good life.
From the start you will feel as if you’re standing in the middle of Time Square but your surroundings soon become far more grimey as you find yourself at the foot of the criminal underworld - as with all previous GTA titles. You will however feel a level of freedom from the start, never before experienced with Grand Theft Auto titles, as the original mission-based story lines take a backseat and you’re left to explore the open city, after the usual period of introduction sequences.
As you would expect on the XBox 360 and PS3, the level of detail in the characters, buildings, vehicles and even weapons is incredible and the city feels alive. You’ll notice bums laying on the sidewalk - do to them what you wish. Other touches such as wind-blown trash, steaming manholes and the hectic traffic you would expect from a bustling city all add to the games atmosphere.
Escaping the long-arm of the law is often frustrating enough, so news that loading screens are now a thing of the past is a huge relief. The game will continuously load behind the scenes as you play, creating a flawless gaming experience, and you won’t lose all those precious weapons when you’ve paid a visit to the emergency rescue ward at the local hospital!
Deal or No Deal embarked on its worldwide tour last night by first making a stop in the wonderful Philippines. (Which in reality was their 2nd stop on the actual trip.)
For three episodes, Howie, a skeleton crew, and American contestants traveled to three different countries to play their versions of Deal or No Deal, playing by their rules, using their music, models, and set, and co-hosting with the local hosts.
Last night, Howie brought two Americans to the set of Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal (KDOND) in Manila, Philippines. The local version is aired on ABS-CBN and is one of the most watched shows in the country. Plus, it is broadcast worldwide through The Filipino Channel, except to North America.
Because of that, it was very exciting for me to finally see how Filipinos do DOND.
Though not fundamentally different, KDOND airs (or used to, as it is on hiatus now to make way for the local version of Wheel of Fortune) daily in a half-hour timeslot. Because of that, the Philippine version has the high energy host Kris Aquino guide the contestants through a faster paced show. (more…)
