    We're all looking for that special someone..

    Story: You play the Eastern European Nico Bellic who immigrates to America to live the good life with his successful cousin and settle an old score..
    Nico quickly discovers that his cousin have been lying about his success and end up having fight for his and his cousins life against various criminal groups

    Gameplay: I doubt there's any around unfamliar with the GTA series gameplay, but just incase, it's an openworld game that let's you do pretty much anything you want, drive walk take the subway or even fly around...
    The game is played in 3rd person and the structure is very open allowing you to pick between several mission at any point in time, ranging from going drinking with the people you befriend, dating girls, going to comedyshows to steal cars and/or gun down people.. In GTA IV you btw "only" have one city - Liberty City - but what a city!

    Pros: Liberty city have never looked better and the new cellphone system is perfect for the game, the driving is great and the flying even better and the story the best..
    The multiplayer is awesome, you have the hole city open for you and your mates and can play around all you want to or pick various missions and game modes..
    Shooting is generally rewarding and the option to just wound is very welcomed too

    Cons: The graphic system isn't perfect and while you quickly get's used to the griddy look it doesn't compare well to other next gen high quality titles.
    The multyplayer should have more modes for 2 buddies teaming up and the autoaim system can be a little trouplesome
    Also the game lacks a lot of the features GTA 3 San Andreas had such as a buyable property and plenty of different brand stores
    It would have been nice with more than just one city...

    Overall: Probable the best game ever released, it's not perfect but it does so much right you just gotta love it! 10/10

      To live again in Liberty City... (TLAD) 0

      It’s a bit weird how this generation has introduced the inclusion of downloadable content, as on the one hand it theoretically allows games to be expanded in fantastic ways, but on the other hand companies like Namco Bandai and Electronic Arts have made DLC rear its ugly head. Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned not only proves a good justification for the existence of DLC, but also expands on the idea of what DLC can really do and sets a lead that all other developers and publishers should fo...

      The Lost and Damned Review 0

      The Lost and Damned is a download available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, PSN, and for download for PC for $20, respectively.  The expansion, while still being an expansion, is an entirely new game with new characters, story, weapons, vehicles, activities, and multiplayer modes.  While there are no new areas to explore, TLAD features the Rockstar brand of storytelling that everyone has come to know and love.
