A detailed look at game play
GTA offers pure fun all the way. The realism which is present in every frame really sets this title in a league of its own and will be measured as a standard for future Open-World Games. Lets have a detailed look at some major aspects of the game.
Vehicles
Stealing cars on your whim, the coolest thing to do in GTA series of games, is made a lot more realistic in Liberty City. Almost all the vehicles parked in Liberty City are locked as it is in the real world and you – Nico - will have to break the window to gain access to the car. Then the engine will have to be hotwired before Nico car drive away with the vehicle. The vehicle physics are also much more improved and detailed and collisions and reckless driving will show their mark on the vehicle in a very much-pronounced way. Breaking glasses, realistic body rolls, showers of sparks, thrown of helmets all add the element of reality to the game play. And unlike in previous versions, flipping a vehicle over does not make it explode every time.
World Interaction
The people of the Liberty City acts just like normal real life people. They carry on with their normal chores and just watching them can give endless hours of fun. They interact with one another as on real world and displays emotions like anger, affection, lust and every possible combination of emotions as found on any other city on earth.
AI Factor and Combat system
The targeting system inside the game is totally revamped and this allows the player to shoot the opponent at individual body parts. A new Cover system is introduced into the game play and this offers the utilization of covers while in a combat involving guns. The health factors works just like the older GTA versions and upon complete lose of health Nico is re-spawned at the nearest hospital.
The Cops of Liberty City are smart as in real life and they will chase you with much more AI and fierceness. They are much more vigilant and committing crimes in their vicinity will attract real life reactions from them like calling for assistance and responding to the threat. In order to escape from hot situations you will have to crawl out of areas visible or surveyed by them. This adds much more fun to the game.
Real life facilities which Nico can utilize - like mobile phones which enables him to make calls and shoot photographs, cyber cafes which connects Nico to Internet, life like In-game television programming which offers news, sports and entertainment along with advertisements, numerous radio stations – contribute to the overall enjoyment of the Liberty City. The sound tracks are brilliant and the two hundred plus tracks offers a lot of choosing between to satisfy almost all tastes.
Online Gaming
GTA 4 is the first GTA game for console to offer online multiplayer facilities with 15 modes of play and a capability to string up to 16 players.
Conclusion
All in all a must play game. Buy it today for your XBOX.

HBO Go Xbox 360 app now available to Time Warner users
Finally – FINALLY – Time Warner and Bright House cable customers have a way to watch HBO on their televisions. The HBO Go app for Xbox 360 previously only worked for Comcast and a variety of other services, but not TWC, so even if you were an HBO subscriber, you couldn’t use the app. Which is terrible. Today, Microsoft announced Time Warner compatibility.
Celebrate by watching some Not Necessarily the News tonight, or some episodes of Fraggle Rock. Look, it’s been a while since we’ve had HBO, okay?

Patch breaks Street Fighter X Tekken in new and exciting ways
Let’s face it: Street Fighter X Tekken just wouldn’t be Street Fighter X Tekken without at least one game-breaking bug. This was probably Capcom’s thought process when it launched the latest patch, which introduces a glitch that freezes the game whenever Rolento’s knife hits an opponent’s fireball.
The above video demonstrates the bug, which affects Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games that have been updated to version 1.04, Shoryuken reports. The patch does fix a few problems, such as hit box issues.Patch breaks Street Fighter X Tekken in new and exciting ways originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 17 May 2012 19:30:00 EST.

One of the coolest of the games i have
Night At The Museum 2, the sequel to the 2006 ‘Night At the Museum’ portrays the happenings in the life of Larry Daley played by Ben Stiller. After his adventure in the first movie where he thwarted the ploy of 3 night guards to steal The Tablet from the museum, Larry is now the head of his own company. Upon visiting he finds that the American Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, and some of the museum pieces are being replaced by interactive holograms due to budget costs. The actual exhibits are due to be moved to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.
