Grand Theft Auto IV

I went to GameStop yesterday morning and reserved Grand Theft Auto IV. Yes, I know that the game came out today, and honestly I hadn’t planned on getting the game when it came out. But the reviews of the game (it’s currently sitting at 99% on both GameRankings and MetaCritic) persuaded me to take a chance on it. As yesterday wore on, I got more and more excited, and I ended up going to the midnight release party at the GameStop here in Katy. I went home and played the game for about an hour before realizing that I needed sleep, and then played a bit more this morning. I haven’t done much, but I can tell you right now that this game is absolutely gigantic. It is utterly massive. I imagine that there will be 100+ hours of gameplay on this disc for those of you who are completist.

I’ll have a bigger review at some point, most likely on Friday. I don’t plan on doing much else outside of work over the next few days.
