Unlike wandering around on two or four wheels, it took quite a while for flight to become available for the mankind, and to become as safe as possible, too. Helicopters appeared pretty late, being used for practical purposes for the first time by the Germans in the 1940s, but then this type of aircraft became popular pretty fast. Speaking as a gamer, I always liked jets more, but it seems we won't get to fly any plane in GTA 4, because all that you can get to fly from one point to another are a few helicopters, and nothing more. Anyway, if you get bored with it, you can easily go grab a boat, a bike, or one of those many GTA 4 cars...

- Annihilator - 8500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds
- Helitours Maverick - 4500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds
- Maverick - 4500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds
- Police Maverick - 4500kg, $52000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 3.1 seconds

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->Same acceleration, same top speed, same price...I don't know exactly if my friend messed these up or no, because I didn't manage to get a chopper yet, and he wouldn't let me play using his saves. Well, a geek remains a geek, so let's hope he's right this time...

It's sad to leave behind the GTA 4 cars, bikes, boats, and now, the aircraft, but there's still a lot to check, like all the characters revolving around Niko but that, my friends, is a completely different story, for another day!

As I said yesterday, today is the right time for filling up our personal docks in Liberty City. Just think about it - the sun is shining, it's Saturday, the wind is gently blowing...so what can be better than grabbing your boat and going out on a weekend cruise? Yeah, right, if you're addicted to bikes or cars, then you should go back and check the GTA 4 bikes article, also having links to those previous articles about all the cars in Liberty City, but today it's all about boats, so go get your life jackets and life savers!

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->The Dinghy, pictured above, is not quite the boat of my dreams, but it can surely take you from a place to another pretty fast, but watch out for rain! With the Dinghy, you may leave home in a dry suit and end up a wet rat...

- Dinghy - 2000kg, $40000, 35 knots
- Jetmax - 5000kg, $40000, 50 knots
- Marquis - 12200kg, $40000, 12 knots

The Marquis, pictured above, is just my kind of boat. Despite the fact it can be very slow, I think of it as my mobile living room, and there's one thing you won't get with the previous two boats - sails! If you feel like sparing some fuel, and the wind is good for sailing, just drop those sails and enjoy the experience!

If you really want to scare your friends fron the interlope world, just get the Police Predator and go to their docks! I am sure their reaction will be priceless...

- Police Predator - 3000kg, $40000, 45 knots
- Reefer - 8200kg, $40000, 19 knots
- Squalo - 3000kg, $40000, 45 knots
- Tropic - 5000kg, $40000, 50 knots
- Tug - 50000kg, $40000, 19 knots

Now, I have no idea why would you get the Tug, but if you really need to get from one point to another on water and this boat is the only alternative...why not? Just be sure your friends won't see you in it!

These being said, we'll see each other again tomorrow, so be sure to get your flight gear in place. On Sunday, we're going to fly!

Did you miss all those GTA 4 cars we talked about this month? Well, I can tell you that first you got all GTA 4 cars from A to D, then from E to H, and then from I to P, so we can finally fill the parking lot with the last GTA 4 cars a few days later. The good part is that this isn't over yet, because we still have to talk about the bikes, boats and airplanes in GTA 4! Today, the time has come for bikes, and in the next two days, we'll finish filling the dock and the hangar...

<-180x150 Small Rectangle - left->Bikes are the best thing you can get in GTA 4 when it comes to acceleration and going where no car can go, but the starters are pretty slow, like the Faggio(the name sounds like Piaggio, and it even looks like a Piaggio, but anyway...), pictured above. Unfortunately, there aren't many bikes in GTA 4, but let's check what we have, and enjoy each one, shall we?

- Faggio - 4 gears RWD, 200kg, $7000, 104 km/h (64 mph), 12.3 seconds
- Freeway - 5 gears RWD, 300kg, $20000, 218 km/h (135 mph), 6.9 seconds
- Hellfury - 5 gears RWD, 300kg, $25000, 218 km/h (135 mph), 6.9 seconds
- NRG 900 - 5 gears RWD, 300kg, $25000, 300 km/h (186 mph), 4.4 seconds

Yeah, baby! Just look at it, just look at it! This seems to be the best vehicle to use when being chased by all cops available in Liberty City, but...wait! There are a few more bikes to check, and the PCJ 600, pictured below, is the first of the three remaining ones...

- PCJ 600 - 5 gears RWD, 250kg, $20000, 266 km/h (165 mph), 4.4 seconds
- Sanchez - 4 gears RWD, 200kg, $12000, 234 km/h (145 mph), 6.9 seconds
- Zombie - 5 gears RWD, 300kg, $25000, 218 km/h (135 mph), 6.9 seconds

Nice bike for a villain, and well chosen name, don't you think? Unfortunately, the Zombie is the last bike in today's short GTA 4 bikes list, but today we'll see those eight boats in the game, so don't worry. I just wish there were as many bikes, boats and aircraft, at least to see them all together match that impressive GTA 4 cars collection...

Have you ever felt the need to kill someone? If not, you surely encountered only people you'd die for, instead of killing them, and I am really glad for you. Fortunately, the game I want to tell you now is not about random killings, because everything seems to have a purpose here, while the main goal is to kill other assassins. I know this is not completely original, but the story managed to make me smile, because I am sure a lot of gamers will identify themselves with the main character, as we're going to see right away...

No More Heroes, previously called only "Heroes," is an action game for the Wii console, directed by Goichi Suda, also known as Suda51, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, and published by no less than 4 companies: Marvelous Interactive Inc., Spike, Ubisoft and Rising Star Games. Now, let's get to the story, shall we?

Your character is Travis Touchdown, a stereotypical otaku(a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime and manga, and I think we could also add gaming to those, don't you agree?), who is living a poor life in the No More Heroes motel of Santa Destroy(yeah, right!), California. I wonder how come he didn't rent a room from a old gramma, instead of paying a motel room and living near poverty, but nothing is perfect, so we should also add that Travis Touchdown wins a beam katana in an Internet auction, so he becomes a hitman.


Once this starts, there's no way back, because the first job he accepts is to kill Helter Skelter, nicknamed "the Drifter," an assassin ranked 11th by the United Assassins Association, taking its place. Now, Travis has just became a target for other beginners, so the safest thing to do seems to climb up the hierarchy, and secure the top assassin position!

Handling the game is not extremely hard, since the Wii Remote is in control of the beam katana, while the Nunchuck attachment helps moving Travis. While playing, despite of using a katana, you should be careful to reload it. Why? Remember this is a beam katana, so it works...on batteries, which I can't say is extremely believable. Killers on batteries? Come ooon!

When talking about all the characters in the game, apart from the UAA assassins, there's Silvia Christel (is it possible for Mr' Suda to be a fan of the Emanuelle series???), a "mysterious" and "cold" woman providing ranks and setting up matches. Those helping Travis are a weapons maker named Doctor Naomi, the former pro-wrestler Thunder Ryu, and a drunk, Randall Lovikov, each with his own part in the larger picture.

No More Heroes is a title that you must try, if you're into manga and wrestling, but I think most Wii users will surely find something attractive in this title, so go ahead and give it a try as soon as you can spare enough time to dive into the universe!

Team Fortress 2 needs no introduction, but if you missed it so far, it's enough to say "team work," "cartoon style" and "shooter." I know this is not enough, because I wouldn't become suddenly interested in a game after hearing a few keywords, so I think you should better go and read the Team Fortress 2 review we have here, on PlayerzBlog. These being said, let's move on and see what should one expect from the Pyro Update for the PC Team Fortress 2, all right?
According to Valve, the long-awaited Pyro Update features no less than 35 new achievements, as well as 3 new unlockable weapons. All these will become available on Thursday, but there's even more, because 2 user-created maps, yet unknown, are also going to arrive as an additional bonus, to "highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players."

For those already having the game, here's the list of achievements to be added:

Hot on Your Heels: Kill 50 enemies with your flamethrower, from behind.
Next of Kindling: Ignite an enemy, and the Medic healing him.
Second Degree Burn: Kill a burning enemy who was ignited by another Pyro.
Weenie Roast: Have 2 enemy Scouts on fire at the same time.
Baptism by Fire: Force 10 burning enemies to jump into water.
Fire and Forget: Kill 15 players while you're dead.
I Fry: Ignite 10 disguised Spies.
OMGWTFBBQ: Kill an enemy with a taunt.
Got A Light? : Ignite an enemy Spy while he's flicking a cigarette.
BarbeQueQ: Cause a dominated player to leave the server.
Dance Dance Immolation: Kill 3 enemies while they're taunting.
Hotshot: Kill a Soldier with a reflected critical rocket.
Firefighter: Kill 500 enemies.
Fire Chief: Kill 1000 enemies
Attention Getter: Ignite 100 enemies with the flare gun.
Pyromancer: Do 1 million points of total fire damage.
Hot Potato: Reflect 100 projectiles with your compressed air blast.

Since this is a free update to a game that - obviously - requires you to pay for it, Valve will host another Free Weekend starting on Friday at 11AM PDT, allowing newbies to try the game via Steam.
