GTA Nearing

  Hey, sorry for no posts in a while, I've been really busy lately. Anyway, enough of the excuses, it's time to check out all the new GTA info released. On March 27 we watched the Fourth and FINAL trailer before release on April 29, 2008. The trailer consisted of alot of great stuff including Niko escaping on a Sanchez dirt bike. It was announced by Rockstar Games that 70% of the new trailer was straight up game play, those kind of things make 29 days seem like 29 years for some, me included! More talking will be coming soon, especially in the upcoming week. By the way on April 15, 2008 Rockstar is releasing a website called Rockstar Social Club (www.rockstargames.com/socialclub) that has more than just online leaderboards but much more in statistics. Here's one of my favorite:

The 100% Club -- Watch to see who will be the first to complete 100% of the game. The first ten people to be identified on the Social Club as reaching 100% will be sent an ultra-rare commemorative 'key to the city' to mark their accomplishment. In the future, the 100% Club will then carry a historical leaderboard showing rankings of who has completed 100% of a game in the shortest span of playing hours.

  So stay posted on Ace Game Blog and you'll find some more info for your interest! Thanks for reading!

Ace Game Merchant Opening

  Earlier we posted mentioning a storefront for merchandise which would be Collectibles and exclusive to the Ace Game Forums Network. Well, it's opened and ready to experience purchases. Yes, I know, we work very fast! As I am writing this there is 1 product for retail for the price $31.99. Exclusive Canvas (Converse Style) shoes with the Ace of Spades emblem imprinted on it and the text reading 'NG2'. NG2 or NG Squared represents Ace Game Forums in the physical a.k.a. Real Life. NG2 (NG Squared) stands for "No Guts, No Glory", a phrase we follow quite often when it comes to getting things done. As time passes more products will be added! Please understand us when we say we're still getting used to the storefront settings and environment! We are using a service called SpreadShirt which we are new too. Please note that the Merchant store is not in ties with the Amazon based storefront except the fact it's run by us. Below is the link to the store and for any info please contact us at support@acegameforums.com. Thank you!

Ace Game Merchandise

  Ace Game Merchandise is a new idea and concept that may soon be a part of the Ace Game Forums Network! When I say "Merchandise", I mean Limited Edition T-Shirts, Pins, Magnets, Mugs, Cups, Hats and more. It is not certain at this point whether this will actually become a part of Ace Game Forums or any time soon. What I do know is that all products will be free to very cheap! More info will come soon and you may at any time contact support@acegameforums.com. Also, we are aware of CafePress.com and we don't know if it will act as the storefront for merchandise.

OXM Multiplayer Preview

  The Official Xbox Magazine for the United States has a seven page Multiplayer preview for GTA IV in the latest issue. The article includes some new artwork and eight new screenshots from the multiplayer action. We read the article and we will list some key points quoted from the article in OXM.

  1. You can't play as Niko during multiplayer, but you can create your own character (male or female) using different clothing.
  2. Jeronimo Barrera, a senior developer at Rockstar, says it takes testers playing 4 hours a day "a good 2 weeks to get through the whole single-player game."
  3. Health, armour and cash pickups are available during multiplayer. The cash determines your online rank - from 0 to 10. Kill people and steal their money to boost your online credibility.

  Those are just 3 important notes pulled from the OXM article in the latest issue. To read more you can go to GTA4.net, they have a good news post about is and a link to a forum thread with Scans of the article. You can read the article scans for free so you should check it out.

Also: Tomorrow the Fourth and final trailer goes live on the official GTA IV website (www.rockstargames.com/IV) .

Fresh New Air Flights

  Not much going on lately at all. The new GTA IV trailer is in 2 days that's about it. This time I'm posting about something that you don't usually see on Ace Game Forums. The other day I decided it need some new shoes to I took a trip down to the Mall to see that there was almost no body there, the economy really is bad these days so you could understand why. Anyway, I went into one of my favorite Shoe stores which is Finish Line and looked around a while. After a couple hard decisions I decided which shoes I had to have and they were the Nike Air Flight 89s. I bought the shoes for around $92 and I was suppose to get "free laces" that were blue and white but I ended up getting charged $2.49. Free add-ons? Yeah right. Extra laces or not I love the shoes, hopefully you do too, check out the pic below and comment with what you think. Thanks!

Ace Game Storefront

  The most popular part of Ace Game Forums and Ace Game Blog has always been the Official Storefront based on Amazon.com. It is the only part ever on the Ace Game Forums network that you have to pay for something, and the cost is drastically low. Ace Game Forums sells basically entertainment and electronic items that we believe have a great value. We sell our items for very low prices and when we say low prices, we mean lower than anyone else we've seen that sells the same thing in the same condition. Items may be new or used and will be marked, identifying which of those it is. Please look around and enjoy! Also note, since we are an entertainment based website, we feature mainly entertainment items but this does not exclude other things outside of the entertainment category. Please enjoy the store and for every purchase you make please leave feedback, so far it has always been positive on both our Amazon accounts!

5 Days From Now

  All Grand Theft Auto fans and/or Xbox 360 and PS3 owners this is a reminder. In 5 days Rockstar Games is releasing the final GTA IV trailer before release on April 29, 2008. The title of the trailer is "Good Lord, What Are You Doing?" AKA "Everyone's a Rat". It is currently unknown what will be included in the final trailer but some people are predicting Gameplay and Multiplayer. Looks like we'll just have to wait 5 more days to find out for sure.

GTA IV Sanchez Dirtbike

  Just recently a website called Evil Avatar posted a preview. The preview included nothing new since all the stuff included I had read in previews from major websites. In fact, I never heard of "Evil Avatar" before. Anyway, the website did have something new to show off to the public no other site featured. Evil Avatar posted a new screenshot they said is exclusive to them and it shows Niko escaping in the subway next to a train on a red dirtbike. In all the previous GTAs that included a dirbike they were called the Sanchez so I am predicting this is the final design of the bike. Check it out here! What's your take on this screen?

Call Of Duty 4 Downloadable Maps

  Call Of Duty is undoubtedly one of the most popular and most played games for both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. I play it too much myself, I think I'm finally starting to play it out which is a good thing after a few months, believe me. Well for those of you that are fans of the game and have not yet played it out, than you'll be happy to hear that Downloadable Content is coming this Spring. The content includes 4 new game play maps never seen before by gamers. One of the new maps is Broadcast, a level pulled from the single-player mission 'Charlie Don't' Surf'. Another Map includes a deserted training building called Killhouse. The content should arrive in the month of April, an exact date is yet to be announced though, so it won't be too long before you can start racking up kills on the 4 new maps! The Call Of Duty 4 Game Of The Year Edition is being released in April as well and for both the Xbox 360. The Game Of The Year Edition is still unknown as to if it will be available for the PlayStation 3 and PC. April is nearing so don't stress over the wait, you'll have new maps at your disposal very soon.

The Blog Is Home

  Hello and welcome to the new Ace Game Forums! We are proud to announce that the homepage is now the blog, and the new blog! Why? Because the blog has always been the section of the site most people are interested in and provides all the interesting info on entertainment based topics such as movies and video games. The blog will always be the homepage on Ace Game Forums until further notice. We're sure you'll enjoy the site more now because we can incorporate both the site and blog features in one package, links to the store and other pages are being prepared. As this is being written we are still adjusting ourselves and incorporating important things like links to the storefront and GTA IV info sites! The blog will post just like the last one did by providing significant info on major entertainment topics, mostly GTA IV around this time of year due to its upcoming release. So please have a look around, get used to everything, and contact us for questions and comments. Thank you!

Starting Over, Big Time

  Hey everyone, welcome to the new blog! I bet you're wondering where all the info, previews, and other things went. Well we don't exactly know ourselves but we were using Wordpress and none of my posts would publish or publish correctly. I now post on Movable Type with a Creative Commons License. Hopefully I'll also get much less spam or none compared to Wordpress and their constant updates that aren't as simple as unpacking files. Anyway, we have to start all over again but it might not be all that bad. We will post where we left off! Everything is still of course free and I'm still the same guy, the only thing that changed is the service provider and the fact the old posts are gone. GTA IV coverage will still be posted along with other major game news and entertainment, video game things. Ace Game Forums never quits and it will continue to provide blogged info for free to readers like you! Enjoy the new blog and comment as much as you want. Thank you!
