WRUP: IV days to go edition

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 25th 2008 at 6:30PM }

This is it, folks. It's the last stop, the final hurdle before the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV. All we have to do is make it through the weekend and Monday (and Tuesday morning if you don't have the stomach for midnight launches), and we can all get our grubby little meat hooks on Rockstar's latest. That's three days to fill with something, anything that will pass the time. What will it be for you?

French Fried TATERS!

qbix @ Apr 25th 2008 6:34PM

I'll play Halo 3 and COD 4.

NukeAssault @ Apr 25th 2008 6:35PM

COD4 probably... Maybe Paradise and Eragon (hey it was 2 bucks...dont look at me like that!)

Jose42 @ Apr 25th 2008 6:35PM

Rock Band and a little Halo. And lots and lots of school work. Finals FTW!

ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 25th 2008 6:37PM

Hahaha, I like the title. NICE.

Condemned (I'll finish it soon enough). TMNT for cheevo farming. Maybe crack open Condemned 2.

I really am excited for GTA... all that's left is the RROD! hahaha! Expect to hear that story from many people, maybe me... maybe even YOU.

haritori @ Apr 25th 2008 10:44PM

Most of those stories will be nerdgasm PS3 fanboys tryig to score some hits against no DLC for them Oh and No Live oh and the fact their fingers will be hurting after 5 hours of this game ;)

atlnative @ Apr 25th 2008 9:50PM

I'd be careful saying that (knock on wood) My 360 give me the RROD just as Halo 3 came out!

ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 25th 2008 11:50PM

Yeah, my GF's Xbox just died last night. I feel the reckoning upon me. I'm ready for Xbox number 4!!!

Jake @ Apr 25th 2008 6:37PM

I will be playing COD4 trying to get to level 55 before Tuesday. I'm currently at level 52 so not far to go!

Chester @ Apr 25th 2008 6:39PM

Madden, NBA 2k8, and some RBSV 2

But mostly just watchin the NBA playoffs. GO SPURS!!

aBs @ Apr 25th 2008 6:40PM

X3F should report that IGN has reviewed GTAIV and gave it a perfect 10 in all categories.

Talented Ganon @ Apr 25th 2008 6:46PM

After seeing a PERFECT 10 on IGN, that just made the wait even harder =( ... Im going to watch any new movies that are out...(All of them) and beat any old GTA games I have.... That should be some good time consumers eh?

Chester @ Apr 25th 2008 6:54PM

I agree, just watched the video review! F'in SWEETNESS!

DenisDenis @ Apr 25th 2008 6:45PM

I won't be playing much, I have a game to make!!
If I have a little time, probably Burn Out Paradise, but ToW is taking pretty much all of life right now :-)

Keep it up Fan Boys!
DenisDenis.

erivera3 @ Apr 25th 2008 6:57PM

I don't believe this game deserves a 10/10. No game is perfect, and even in their review they say certain parts aren't perfect......9.9, sure, but 10/10 is just not realistic.

Troy @ Apr 25th 2008 7:09PM

10/10 is not rly saying perfect, everyone knows nothing can be perfect so 10/10 is rly just saying this game is so good no one should deprive them selfs of not playing it :)

at least imo, after all there have been lots of games to get 10/10

Troy @ Apr 25th 2008 7:07PM

Counter-Strike...

i havent played that game in ages so i think ill pick it up to pass by the weekend.

petersjov @ Apr 25th 2008 7:19PM

Just found GOLD, Playing Jericho, Thats one Hell.., of a game, nice somebody cares to make great games ;-)

DemonGSides @ Apr 25th 2008 7:24PM

Jericho?

Seriously?

matthew @ Apr 25th 2008 7:26PM

I'm having a Halo 3 party, 3 HD projectors will 100" screens with 11 of my buddies. Likely play a little GTA 2 on my PC for a little nostalgia!

Anticrawl @ Apr 25th 2008 7:37PM

Probably Shadowrun, Vegas 2, and TF2. May fire up a little Unreal 2004 for shits n giggles. Also glancing over at my copy of Postal. Probably play a few minutes of Mario Kart on Sunday.

Oh and Ikaruga again if I can find anyone to co-op with.

T Munster @ Apr 25th 2008 9:49PM

GRIND MY TEETH!!!

Homer 918 @ Apr 25th 2008 7:56PM

I've been playing Bully:Scholarship Edition and RSV2. I'm fairly surprised at how much I like Bully, I was picturing it differently.

Chester @ Apr 25th 2008 9:14PM

arent the loading times in Bully ridiculous though? I've been playing it and love it, but the insane amount of loading screens, is driving me crazy!

Homer 918 @ Apr 26th 2008 12:44AM

Yes, the loading is ridiculous!

Deck @ Apr 25th 2008 8:22PM

Writing papers...Lost Odyssey...and PIZZA! PIZZA!

Raspy @ Apr 25th 2008 8:35PM

HOMEWORK!!!!! Ugh I wish this would have come out sooner. First its Launch day and the very next are finals. I need to catch up right away and study. Because I sure as hell won't be up for it after 4-29-08

Bishop99999999 @ Apr 25th 2008 11:03PM

Funny how my 360 waits until now to RRoD. Sigh.

Will @ Apr 25th 2008 8:33PM

I think I'll be playing Condemned or Lost: Via Domus if it comes in the mail.

skin.bintin @ Apr 26th 2008 8:23AM

I've been playing old rockstar games to get myself back in the mood for it. Been playing the first Manhunt, GTA:III/VC/SA, Bully Scholarship Edition.

Also plenty of Tekken 5: Dark Resurection on PS3 as it's a great game ;)

dieter @ Apr 25th 2008 9:07PM

I need to finish up Burnout Paradise, but CoD4 is calling me very strongly. Plus I havent tried out the new Halo3 maps, so might give that a go. Is it worth the $10 for the Halo maps?

Joe B @ Apr 25th 2008 9:08PM

Yea, not the best time to release a game, I have AP exams and SATII
s! Nonetheless, I'll still be playing. ;-)

drew @ Apr 25th 2008 9:10PM

1st! sike. im gonna play a mix of halo and cod.

Shayneroz @ Apr 25th 2008 9:14PM

I will be playing some Rock band, TF2 and maybe get some Half life 2 in between my study breaks. Conveniently, my last exam is Tuesday morning.

Royale @ Apr 25th 2008 9:48PM

Ikaruga, GRAW2, maybe some Halo, and Oblivion might tempt me a bit... it's been so long... I think since my red ring hit.

Does anyone have that problem... where you are right in the middle of a great game and you get ther RROD and when your console returns, you have no desire to play anymore?

Jay900 @ Apr 25th 2008 9:49PM

gonna play some halo 3 and some gta sa :)

Kool @ Apr 25th 2008 9:58PM

I will be playing mandolin and guitar. The countdown is finally coming to an end.

AoE @ Apr 25th 2008 10:00PM

I'm gonna brush up on my Ikaruga and Rez skills and try to push out of my mind how far away 12:01am tuesday really is...

bugatti23007 @ Apr 25th 2008 11:33PM

I'm playing Saints Row and Dead Rising mostly because I need to raise my gamerscore

TxdoHawk @ Apr 28th 2008 12:34AM

Some Metal Gear Online, I think, and some Catan. =D

superaktieboy @ Apr 26th 2008 3:31AM

http://zeryl.net/iv you can find a countdown to GTA IV

btw anyone noticed that these few days look like it takes ages to go through the day? :(

petersjov @ Apr 26th 2008 6:55AM

Yeah, serious !!, I have been playing jericho a few days, when I am off work.
Its way better than a lot of other first person shooters, I just love a good story, and the action button sequences, are a nice thing - but its almost like watching a movie - try and play it a bit slow, and watch your team fight also, some times - great, and overlooked gem - wish somebody would make a site with overlooked games ;-)
