    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Guinness World Records has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto IV has become the highest ever entertainment earner within the first 24 hours after release, selling 3.6 million units and generating USD 310 million in revenue.

    That compares to the previous fastest-selling videogame - last year's Halo 3 - which generated USD 170 million, the fastest-selling box office release, which was Spiderman 3 at USD 60 million, and the fastest-selling book - Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows at USD 220 million.

    The news will come as yet another plaudit for Rockstar, with the game reaching the USD 500 million mark in the first week, and topping charts around the world since the April 29 release.</div>

    <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>I am on Revenge/Deal and saved two ports so I can do both endings.

    I'm having troubles chasing Pegorino..making that jump on the beach is hard. I've done it like once, but crashed the helicopter. M21, do you just have to follow him in the helicopter? Am I really supposed to fly low, or can i fly kind of high.

    Once I complete that, I'll load my other port and complete the game from that section.</span>

    I did "deal" so I guess it was the other mission; however, it is best to fly the Helicopter high even though they tell you to stay low.

    I dunno, I think the game is pretty balanced. It's a bit easy overall, as I think the whole GTA series tends to be (without a difficulty setting).



    So I finally beat the game. I took my time and I clocked-in somewhere around 40hrs. I'm not done the <span style="color:#FFFFFF">Assassin</span> missions, <span style="color:#FFFFFF">Brucie's car stuff</span>, or any of the extras like the hidden pedestrian missions, girlfriends, and jumps/flying rats etc., so I have a decent 20 or more hours to go plus time to explore, but I loved the game. Fantastic experience.

    I did that one in one shot. I think everyone has a different game experience. Some missions I know are easy but I had trouble with them, and some hard ones I got through pretty fast.

    Like, the <span style="color:#FFFFFF">strip club</span> mission for <span style="color:#FFFFFF">Dwayne </span>took me like five tries and it is a simple one, but three-leaf clover was one-and-done.

    Does anybody know how I can locate the blue icon's on the map? I want to complete that aspect of the game.

    What about the pigeon icons? Any links out there that can tell me the exact spots to these.

    To beat that last mission all you have to do is follow Pegorino in the helicopter while firing at him relentlessly. He will hit you with one or two rockets no matter what. Just keep following him and don't back off. The game will do everything else by itself as the story unfolds to the finish.

    If you call Dwayne, you get 25,000 from Playboy. Kill X, and you get his crib and a special ability from Dwayne.

    New girl to date and she isn't so damn annoying!

    Go to www.craplist.net and look up this "Party girl seeks man for NSA fun and blog material."

    Click the contact button and wait a day or two for a reply for a date. Her bonus is discounts at Perseus, but she's a better companion then the other two annoying brats. Michelle wasn't that great either though.

    There is a website you can visit in the game that will show you the location of jumps, pigeons, etc.. Its called 'what they don't want you to know.com' or something like that. You've probably got spam from them in your inbox.

    Also, make sure to clear your inbox. You'll run out of space and be unable to receive new messages. Just a little detail in the game some might miss.
