“Flawless”

No question greatest game of all-time. The missions are a little bit too easy, but other then that it's perfect. Play for yourself!

There are so many positives to GTA4! Its got all the qualities of an Action movie. Unlike most action movies, where the character is disposable, you actually care for Niko throughout the game. His trials and tribulations, not to mention a few twists thrown in for good measure make this game one of the best, if not the best, video game to date.

But lets make one thing clear, its not for kids.

“I fell in love with a guy over this game once”

It was a hot and fairly violent romance. The game lasted longer than the guy did, and I still like playing, because it's a lot of fun.

Prediction: Grand Theft Auto IV tops Halo 3 with $400 million first week

Step aside, Halo 3. When Grand Theft Auto IV drops there's going to be a new week-one sales record in town.

Fact: Grand Theft Auto IV will have an impressive launch. However, will the hype train drive it past the current week-one sales winner Halo 3?

The survey says "yes" as sources close to GTA IV publisher Take-Two have reported it is expecting to sell six million units of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV. In monetary terms, that translates into approximately $400 million in one week.

According to Variety, Take Two is able to predict its early sales figures based on how many units retailers have ordered so far.

Analysts have for the most part agreed with the prediction, and word on the financial street is the $400 million mark will be enough to knock Halo 3 from its multi-million dollar throne ($300 in the first week).

The LA version was a bit of a bore but overall the series has been pretty good. This is their first "Next Gen" version which I hope will be bloody good.
