Image via WikipediaWoo (and dare I say it) hoo! In the past I’ve had one or two disappointing experiences with Amazon pre-orders, but apparently my GTA IV pre-order has shipped! With any luck I’ll actually get it by the release date this time.
As this is a very highly anticipated game, there’s probably no point in re-hashing what we know so far, but after I’ve played it I might do a quick review.
Until GTA IV comes out, Saints Row is the only HD, next gen open-world game. I really enjoyed playing Saints Row, but I’ve played it enough to be bored of it now. Saints Row 2 comes out August-ist, so we’ll see whether I’m bored of GTA IV by then. They’ve taken a very different tack with Saints Row, and I like them both.
Apparently the press is already complaining about GTA and it’s not even out yet. Those guys crack me up. And by “crack me up” I mean “piss me off”.
They call it a murder simulator. Gues what we were doing when we were playing cops & robbers or cowboys & indians in the back yard? Yeah, that’s right, pretending to kill each other.
They call it antisocial. You know what else is antisocial? Reading. Go on national television denouncing the evils of reading, I dare you.
