GTA IV

Got my copy of GTA IV last weekend and I have been playing almost none stop! I have always been a fan of the GTA series and thus I just had to play the latest one.

I have to admit a think San Andreas was the best one so far. Don't get me wrong, GTA IV is very good and I would highly recommend you get a copy. What I liked about San Andreas was that the world was a lot larger and had a lot more variety (cultures, buildings etc.). Also you could do a lot more in the game. I loved having my own airfield that I could just stock up with different airplanes and helicopters.

The latest one have a very good story line and a good set of characters.

Yikes!

It has been a very very long time since I have posted to my blog. Not to make any excuses but lets just say I have been very busy.

Right here is the summary of what has happened since my last post.

Burnout Paradise was published in January and it was a BIG success. It was number one on the charts and a lot of people absolutely loved it! I am very proud about this title since it is my first published AAA game.

Here is a screenshot of the credits with my name in it.



We have started redecorating our house and this is the main consumer of all my free time. Basically the entire place was covered with woodchip wall paper and painted with really ugly colours. So the main mission is to strip off all the wall paper, fix the cracks, holes etc. and then paint the place.

We have had a couple of issues with the plaster in certain places where by a big section of the wall will just start bulging out and crack. Thus we had to stop using the steamer and rather do it the old fashioned hot soap water and sponge method. Let me tell you, plastering a 1m square hole in the wall is not fun!

Once the place is done I will upload before and after photos.

I will soon be starting to work at Lionhead (yes the guys that made Fable, Black & White etc.) and I am currently just waiting for my visa. Yes that means I no longer work for Criterion / EA.
