GTAIV has it's own internet?
_________________

• In GTA IV Time Square will be called in "star Junction"
  
• You can buy weapons using a cellular phone
  
• The police radioing for help feature returns
  
• Each criminal offense drives the Wanted level up. As soon as you reach several stars, The other player can locate you on the radar and deliver some serious fireworks on ya.
  
• Rockstar is designing GTAIV as a seamless HD Experience
  

-The driving mode has been altered given the cars addition weight( and a more realistic feel) (PLASTIC CARS UNCONFIRMED)
- The city Skylines are breath taking
-There are no pauses for Loading when entering an interior location
-Nikos facial expressions fits the actions perfectly.
-The use of cover and an overhaul system makes battles very fierce.
-The liberty city waterways plays a significant role in the game
- The atmosphere and noise of firefights is scarily reminiscent of GEARS OF WAR
More details in magazine scans.
- GTA4 has its own internet in the game and its going to be very important, and Niko uploaded his cv using it to someone hes hired to kill so he cud get a interview for a job, then he go's to the interview and kills his mark.
-Theres this new way of shaking the cops to do with a circle thing, when u get out of the circle u lose em and u can be smart like go down a street when ppl can't see you and knick another car and drive straight past the cops and they won't notice you, more realistic stuff, sounds cool, the gun mechanics are apparently a lot like gears of War.

Their making a lot of comparisons to Gears of War. I would post the scans, but I don't know if that's alright here. Here's the link:

Microsoft is in the process of applying the new Falcon chips into Xbox 360's this Fall. The new motherboard design will feature a 65nm chipset, which run cooler, use less-electricity, and are cheaper to manufacture than the 90nm version used in current Xbox 360's. If this isn't a sign for a price-drop, I don't know what is.

Well, July 7th is rollin' around again, and that brings what Bungie fans have touted as "Bungie Day".

Tomorrow marks an extra-special Bungie Day as it's 7/7/07. That's three sevens, count 'em.

Bungie.net will feature some cool content for the occasion, and Xbox 360 Marketplace will also hold some special Bungie-related content available tomorrow only.

I thought I'd do my part to spread the word, and being a big Bungie fan myself, this is a pretty important date that only was only made possible by us. And knowing Bungie's history with the number "7", you'd think they'd worship this date.

Well, Happy 7/7/07, and Happy Bungie Day!

At least that's Kotaku's take on the new Gears of War soundtrack being released on July 31.

I thought it was pretty funny, seeing as you guys joked around with the idea of a Musical a few weeks ago.

The titles of the songs also rock many socks.
