Addicting! Download it!

Race driver GRID

I advise you to turn on your download(click download) before reading this, its about 800meg and if you don’t download it now, you’ll most probably want to after reading.

I have been playing the GRID demo for the last couple of days. It has shown me a lot and gave great insight to the game. The demo features, 3 modes of game play:

  • Touring Cars
  • Pro Muscle
  • Drift

Touring Cars is your high speed race tracks, the demo has Jarama’s Grand Prix Circuit which is 2.36 miles and you are able to drive the BMW 320SI. You are able to play this track both single player and multiplayer across the internet.

Pro Muscle is your big litre engines and on the demo you are able to drive a Ford Mustang GT-R Concept (below) Which gives you access to the San Francisco Grand Prix race track. This race can also be played online(i know, what are code masters doing releasing all this content?)

Ford Mustang GT-R Concept

Drift i haven’t played much, i don’t usually go for drifting type of games, but it has now become a standard in the racing video game industry, unless your going for a simulator that is. Race Drive GRID Demo allows you to play in a Nissan Silvia on Yokohama Docks Route A1, a Jap track.

As we know Race driver GRID is an arcade slash simulator, a mixture of the two which has actually been done very well, by codemasters.

A message appears on a starting screen of the game stating

“This is a demo and does not represent the final quality of the game”

For a demo there is so much content and is a real tease for the game itself. If you don’t have enough money for the game. At least download the free demo, *chuckle*. It not only features single play but great multiplayer too.

The damage is great(oh be careful online) you will notice all sorts of things that you haven’t seen before dangle from your wreck. Online damage will still be taken into consideration, if turned on in the settings by the host.

You will see the occasional raving lunatic that wants to obliterate your car to smithereens, but you can avoid these guys by making sure you look both to your left and right occasionally.

If you haven’t already download the demo and try this baby out!

As always i recommend http://www.gamershell.com high speed, quick and easy for the most.

Plot Outline

Niko Bellic is Serbian, between 28 and 32 years of age and has come to Liberty City to pursue the “American Dream”. Niko was persuaded to move to Liberty City by his cousin Roman, who claimed in multiple e-mails to Niko that he was living a fabulous life, with a mansion, women, hot tubs and sports cars. Roman’s claims turn out to be lies to hide his own failures, however, and in reality he only owns a small taxi business, which he wants Niko to work for.

Bigger Better… The wait is over.

The Variety Map Pack for COD4 : Modern Warfare (Call of Duty 4) has arrived for xbox 360 gamers here is a list of the maps and descriptions of why they were designed this way.

They were said to include all aspects of gameplay in COD4. It is said that PS3 gamers will not have to wait to long for the map pack to arrive on the sony ps3 platform.

But they do cost.. 800 MS Points to be exact.

broadcast cod 4 map

Broadcast
Its size and alternating routes make “Broadcast” great for large team games. A large, multi-story television station with plenty of window vantage points creates the perfect setting for floor-to-floor combat. The station is surrounded by extensive outdoor areas consisting of a long parking lot, surrounding buildings with sniping hiding spots and side-rooftop access to the top and bottom floors of the television station.

Creek call of duty 4 map

Creek
A large wide open village in the woods, “Creek” consists of heavy foliage, great for sniper cover: a deep ravine offers an excellent vantage point for ambushes; an underground cave offers an alternate evasion route; and various multi-floor houses populate a patchwork of connected farmland. This extensive open map is great for snipers with plenty of natural coverage consisting of rocks and trees. There are various routes for advancement from both high and low vantage points over and underneath the hillsides. Another great map for large team games.

china town call of duty map

Chinatown
A modern revision of the classic Call of Duty “Carentan” map, “Chinatown” takes players to the foggy downtown district of a Chinatown. A night time setting, the cityscape is well lit by the full moon and the glow of brightly colored lanterns and neon lights from local businesses. This district offers a variety of open-street and interior settings, perfect for fire fights throughout the connected roads, courtyards, antique shops and markets within it. Great for all game types and players.

kill house map call of duty modern warfare

Killhouse
“Killhouse” is an enclosed warehouse made of plywood structures, mock-ups and speed-run courses used for training, creating the right mix of obstacles for small team games or free-for-alls with a variety of soft and hard cover points spread throughout the entire ground level.

Grid the Game

Grid the game by codemasters

Grid is a game by Codemasters who also previously created the game DiRT.
Anyway Grid is expected to be released by summer 2008. Anyone that waits for game’s to be released know’s that the release dates are always subject to change, delays etc. But seeing some of the gameplay of Grid and trailers it looks like Codemasters are up to scratch.
The game looks great it has about 50 cars, which maybe less than expected but they each have their own greatness about them. They are said to be 50 of the best racing cars that were made, which means you will have a great time driving them at very high speeds..

The cars each have their own way of breaking apart, meaning when taking on damage from hitting other objects or opponents you hit the bumper and it may fall off.

The damage engine they are using has derived from DiRT, but has been modified and changed alot since that game was developed.

They announced that this type of racer was not going to be an Arcade style racer or and Simulator Type racer. It was going to be inbetween, a cross between the both? maybe. It will have some aspects of a simluator and arcade style. This racing game Grid focuses on the race of racing, not modding your car improving performance, but the actually rush of being in a race. So all the cars will be unlocked ‘out of the box’, no need to play for days and days to unlock new cars.

The game is said to include many racing types, including drifting, and average speed race first to the finish.

Checkout the gallery on grid-game.com for some nice screenshots, and more information.

At only 37 MB The Crysis Patch 1.2.1 contains version 1.1.1.6156 of crysis

The main fix is to fix a security hole in code that caused client and server crashes.

Which is obviously worth the hot fix that they have released

If you do not know how to change the colour of your crysis nickname already, read the short guide i wrote before click here .

Once you know how to change the colour of your crysis nickname / username then you are ready to permanently change the colour of your nickname.

  1. Firstly you need to find your profile folder which will be located at such a directory like:DRIVE:\Documents and Settings\[ XP USERNAME]\My Documents\My Games\Crysis\ProfilesSo in your “My Documents” folder under “My Games” -> “Crysis” -> “Profiles”

    (Before you question it what i mean by ‘permanent’, it does not mean you cant repeat these steps and change your game name ever again, it just means when entering the game you will not have to keep changing your name the manual way, your name will be changed automatically.)

  2. Right click the folder of that profile name you wish to change the name of, Rename it to a colour name e.g
  3. Rename the folder “Username” to “$8User$4Name”. In Crysis that would look something like UserName , see the crysis colour chart for a list of colour codes.
    crysis name change
  4. Then OPEN the folder and you should see profile.xml
  5. OPEN profile.XML in a text editor such as notepad.
  6. Replace:
    <Profile Name=”Username”/>With the profile name you chose to rename the folder in our case:
    <Profile Name=”$4User$8Name”/>
  7. Save The File!
  8. Launch Crysis and enter a multiplayer game you will see your name is already set as coloured! Smile

If you need anymore help comments are welcome.
