    GTA IV

    Wow, what can I possibly say about GTAIV, which is the best game I've played in years, that other reviewers haven't already said. Ok, here's a bit of advice - go and buy this game now. Doesn't matter what console, whichever one you own or whichever controller you like - just buy it if you haven't already. Greatest GTA, one of the greatest games ever, and funnest game of 2008 by far.

    So...

    Well, I'm not actually writing a review for the game because I'm way too busy right now listening to my music. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Boston and Heart as well as some of the Japanese bands that Tomomi hooked me up with. Damn, I was just bitten by a mosquito! I don't know how they get into the house but it really bothers me. Oh, I just reminded myself to look up online about whether or not bananas make mosquitoes attracted to you. Oh yeah... and GTAIV is an amazing game, go buy it. And at the moment, you cannot buy it in Japan - so try out a place like play-asia.com, but remember that play-asia.com will only send products to the billing address so it's best to use Paypal.

    Yeah, I just looked up the thing about mosquitoes and it's an urban legend. Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide or something like that - anyway, the best way to defend yourself against them is to just keep windows closed. Well hopefully those mosquitoes will f-off now that I closed the windows.

      Having written already two versions of this review, it’s dawned on me that reviewing a game like Grand Theft Auto IV is obscenely difficult. How do you approach a review of a game that literally offers over 60 hours of varied gameplay? Not just that but you also have to take into account the multiplayer, the fun that you’ll have just roaming around the sandbox-like city… It’s difficult to take all of those into account and a write a review that will inform you on every aspect that makes GTA IV ...

      Small things make this game pull away from perfection 0

      Firslty, let me say that I do love this game. However, thinking about this game critically changes that perspective. OK, now then, dont get any illusions-GTA is a great game. Maybe not as good as the hype, but still great. The gameplay is good, the graphics are good...just about everything passes the 'good' mark. However, some key parts almost made me give this game 5 stars.  The first one was the voice acting. Strange reason to give a game a 5, but still-once you hear this game, it sets a bench...
