Unfortunately, all good things come to an end in life, and so must happen with our GTA 4 cars mini-series. First, we had GTA 4 cars from A to D, then from E to H, and yesterday, we talked about the cars in GTA 4 starting with I, down to P, and including all those having names starting with that letter. Even more, we talked about GTA 4 car codes just before starting to fill the parking lot. Now, let's cover the remaining cars, so fasten your seatbelt and get ready, because this is going to be a bumpy ride!

I know, I know - it's a pity you can't own a ranch in GTA 4, but if you could have done that, then one of the best cars to drive around on your own land is the Rancher, I have no doubt about that! It's not only about the name - just look at it! We have a 4 wheel-drive 2.5 Ton monster capable of reaching a maximum speed of over 140mph, so this will surely go into my collection!- Rancher - 5 gears 4WD, 2500kg, $25000, 234 km/h (145 mph), 10.9 seconds
- Rebla - 5 gears RWD, 2300kg, $35000, 246 km/h (152 mph), 12.3 seconds
- Ripley - 3 gears RWD, 9500kg, $25000, 84 km/h (52 mph), 10.9 seconds (to maximum speed, I guess, or to 100km/h...in free fall!)
- Roman's Taxi - 5 gears RWD, 1700kg, $20000, 266 km/h (165 mph), 14.2 seconds
- Romero - 5 gears RWD, 2800kg, $22000, 204 km/h (126 mph), 16.4 seconds
- Ruiner - 5 gears RWD, 1700kg, $19000, 300 km/h (186 mph), 6.3 seconds
- Sabre - 5 gears RWD, 1700kg, $20000, 266 km/h (165 mph), 9.6 seconds

- Schafter - 5 gears RWD, 1700kg, $25000, 269 km/h (167 mph), 9.6 seconds

Do I have hallucinations, or the Schafter looks like a Mercedes Benz? Give me hand with that, please! OK, let's continue. Next in line - the Sentinel, a fast yet stylish car, pictured below...

- Turismo - 5 gears RWD, 1500kg, $110000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 5.3 seconds

Extremely fast, with strong brakes and good acceleration, the Turismo is one of my favorite cars. Who can resist this temptation?- Uranus - 4 gears FWD, 1300kg, $15000, 234 km/h (145 mph), 14.2 seconds

- Yankee - 6 gears RWD, 11000kg, $30000, 162 km/h (100 mph), 27.8 seconds

What? Were you expecting from the Yankee to be anything else than a truck? Well, I am sorry if I disappointed you, but this is it. You can't always get what you want, but I hope most of you got exactly what they needed: a full parking lot of GTA 4 cars!

Today, as I promised, we'll have the third visit in the GTA 4 cars parking lot. Are you excited? You surely must be excited and anxious to see them all, because today and tomorrow we'll finish checking out all the GTA 4 cars in the game...or at least those that my friend managed to find data while messing with those game files... First, we talked about GTA 4 cars from A to D, then we moved on and checked GTA 4 cars from E to H. Today, we'll take on a new lot of cars, starting with the amazing Infernus, pictured below!

The Infernus is another of those sports cars with incredibly strong brakes, stiff suspension, and is also pretty easy to control, being a 4-wheel drive. These being said, let's descend into the GTA 4 cars inferno, starting with the Infernus itself!

- Infernus - 5 gears 4WD, 1700kg, $100000, 336 km/h (208 mph), 4.4 seconds

...want an ice cream? Mr. Tasty can deliver it right away! To be honest, I have no idea what this truck should have inside, but considering the cooling installation, probably it's an ice cream, although it could also be used by the Universal Soldiers to move around! ;)

Anyway, if you're not an Universal Soldier and want to move your furniture around, or various objects that won't fit inside your trunk, be sure to rent a Mule (see the image above)!- Mule - 6 gears RWD, 5500kg, $25000, 150 km/h (93 mph), 23.0 seconds

OK, this is all for today, but don't worry - tomorrow we'll fill the parking lot with GTA 4 cars, but that doesn't conclude the GTA 4 series of articles. There will still remain some bikes, boats and aircraft to check out, but we'll leave them for next week, all right?

These being said, I close the third episode of our GTA 4 cars "mini-series." I hope you enjoyed it, and you'll get back to us tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and so on...;)

I know everyone must have, at least once in a lifetime, a reason to wish for everything to stop around him/her, and in most cases, this is also involving someone they love. For me, one of the many reasons to have the entire world frozen in time around me is Civilization, the brilliant game series forged by Sid Meier. Anyway, before Civilization, there was another great game, called Colonization, and now it seems we're going to be able to enjoy it once again, in the full glory of the Civilization IV graphics engine!



According to Sid Meier himself, now holding the director of creative development position at Firaxis Games, "We've received many requests from fans over the years to bring back Colonization and now seemed to be the perfect time to do that."

The Civilization IV engine provided a fantastic foundation for a new Colonization experience and allowed us to create something great for both new players and long time fans of the game," he concluded, and the countless hours I've spent with Civilization IV are a proof to that, as well as the feeling of emptiness I get by the lack of time for playing it anymore, because for me(and a large part of my friends), Civilization is one of those games I will never get tired of, never-ever!

Colonization will get 2008 graphics, a new interface, improved diplomacy options, modding tools, and will allow you to "lead one of four European nations on a quest to conquer and rule the New World."

Expected to arrive this fall, Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization will surely be a great addition to any Civilization fan, as well as a game surely worth buying for those strategy fans that didn't grab any of Mr. Meier's games!
