Counting down (less than two hours)...
I will be making my way to GameStop at midnight to pick up my copy of GTA IV. This game is going to be incredible if it lives up to the hype. IGN rated it a perfect 10, the first perfect rating given by the site since 1999. After watching the preview gameplay footage, this is NOT a kids game, or even a game for teenagers. Come to think of it, I shouldn't even be playing this game... I have already promised to never play this when Ainsley is awake - I actually don't ever play video games when she is awake, but most certainly not this one. As my bro-in-law Kevin put it, it's the poster child for everything that is bad about video games. SWEET!
I want to play this for a little bit tonight, but am afraid that I will be tempted to play longer than I should. So, I may just pick up my copy, come home, read the manual, smell the disc, and try to sleep knowing that I have the game in the house. I know, pathetic.
This also presented me with my first real console dilemna - do I get the XBOX 360 or PS3 version? From reviews that I had read, the PS3 looks a little bit better (less aliasing). The XBOX 360 does have some exclusive downloadable content (exclusive maps or something), but in the end, I decided to go with the PS3 version, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be the right choice.
