Jacking Cars Never Felt or Looked this Good!

Hey all. With epic releases being given to us through out the year I thought I would start by talking about them one at a time. The first big one, GTA 4.

We're exactly 4 weeks away from it's release as of Tuesday, April first 2008. Rockstar has been working the gaming public into a frenzy with trailers and screenshots. And let me tell you from what I've seen this game looks off the chain. They're even talking about 16 player multiplayer and there are quite a few game modes. Details are scarce about it though. Lots of sources are guessing about it, but no one knows allot for sure.

This is just as epic a jump as when the series went from the last one on PC to GTA3 for the Playstation 2. I think we need to take a step back and think about this for a second though. I've said it from the beginning, this game I think will be epic in every sense of the word. I believe we're headed into GTA overload with this installment. That same feeling we got when we played GTA3 we're about to have again. You know what I'm talking about. I think Rockstar probably hasn't messed with the formula too much, tried to fix what players were griping about and just improved a great deal on what was already good. We're about to experience Liberty City the way it's meant to be experienced.

I for one am beyond psyched for it. It's surreal to think we're only a little more then 4 weeks away from release. We've been reading about it and watching trailers for so long I thought we would never get to this point. This release might eclipse that of the Halo 3 release. Now will I go to my local Gamestop at midnight to get it if they do it? I would consider it. (Probably not, it's going to be a zoo and I'd rather just wait until the next day so i can get in and get out) This will be a defining moment in gaming, just like when GTA3 came out.

Next time I think I'm going to talk about the release of one of my favorite franchises. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Later....
