If you're a reader of this site then it must be safe to assume that you're already aware of the GTA series (No? Then go back to messing about on Wii Fit, this game is not for you). You may also be aware of the fact that its latest instalment has

All in all GTA IV is a great experience. The core gameplay remains addictive and Niko's adventure through America's streets is enthralling in many ways. Your mileage with this title will depend solely on you as a gamer. If you loved other GTA titles or

While the game is by no means perfect, it is still head and shoulders above anything else we’ve ever seen in terms of a sandbox title. The pointless debate rages on whether to buy this game for the PS3 or Xbox 360, but the root of that argument is

If you will play one game this year, my endorsement goes to GTA IV. The story mode clocks in at 30-50 hours for a play-through depending on your gaming experience. The multiplayer is varied, the side missions plentiful, and the possibility of time

Developers must make hard decisions with sequels, especially on new consoles. Rockstar's emphasis on gritty realism, relationships, and a distinctly New York-inspired version of Liberty City is bolstered by substantially better physics and animation,

Game Chronicles
I do think the games deserves at least an 8 out of 10 or 80 percent but I also think that a perfect game is not going to be had for something as complex as this. I think Grand Theft Auto has taken on a life of its own and for some giving it anything but

Ultimately, there is just too much to tell about GTA IV; it’s a game that should be experienced firsthand, rather than explained. There are minor discrepancies between both the PS3 and 360 versions with load times a bit shorter and pop-in less frequent

Undoubtedly one of the most hyped games of the year, if not the most hyped of all time, we had huge expectations for Grand Theft Auto IV. Rockstar promised more detail, more things to do, more excitement, better visuals – you name it, they promised it.

Niko Bellic, Grand Theft Auto IV's bruiser from the former Eastern Bloc, is a stone-cold couch potato, a desperate online dater with dead-on aim, and a chronic websurfer who could kill you in a hand-to-hand Krav Maga brawl. Fresh off the boat, he's an
