Yeah, you must’ve heard that Grand Theft Auto IV is all that, but it doesn’t mean we should all be raving fanboys. Aside from the good stuff I’m churning out about the game, rest assured that there will be well-placed rants, like this post.
What am I going to lambast this time? Artificial intelligence or the […]

Clearly, Niko Bellic is not the star of Grand Theft Auto IV. He may be the lead character in Rockstar’s latest murder simulator epic crime drama, but the pièce de résistance is sprawling Liberty City, which is modeled after The Big Apple, New York City.
According to Wikipedia, Rockstar sent full-time researchers to NYC twice during […]

I’ve just hit the jackpot in Grand Theft Auto IV, and it’s only going to get even better. Remember when Rockstar representatives said that the game is a progression of “rags to slightly-better rags”? I think the publisher’s powers-that-be should sack these reps because they don’t really know what they’re talking about.
At my current playthrough, […]

One of Grand Theft Auto IV’s major highlights is the ability to roam a massive virtual city and do whatever one wants. Jack any vehicle? Check. Swim in the river? Check. Waste time by playing pool, surfing the ‘net, or shopping for clothes? Check.
On top of all these features, GTA IV is a third-person shooter […]

Grand Theft Auto IV still feels like a GTA game. You’re treated to the familiar tongue-in-cheek humor no matter what corner of virtual New York you look at, you still drive around a massive city, you still jack cars like there’s no tomorrow, and you still shoot people in the face.
However, the act of shooting […]

Yes, it took a week but finally, Grand Theft Auto IV hits our local store shelves. There were no crazy lines that greeted me, no muggers out for my blood. I’ve managed to take a picture using an old phone; unfortunately, it doesn’t look so good when I transferred it to my PC.
The GTA IV […]

After over three years of waiting, fans of the Grand Theft Auto series (i.e. almost everyone) finally got their wish last April 29: a new, next-gen installment in GTA IV. Pundits are proclaiming the latest sequel as the next best game since Ocarina of Time, and the ads are just everywhere—reminding you to get off […]

The size of Grand Theft Auto IV isn’t limited to the boundaries of Liberty City. Apparently, John Stewart’s “virtual correspondent” over at The Daily Show has made his way inside the game and torched a bodega using a flamethrower.
Forget flamethrowers–I never thought brides-to-be have a potential to be more violent than GTA fans. Whatever you […]

I do know Grand Theft Auto IV is fantastic, despite the fact that I’ve never played it, and that the only time I’ve seen it in action is when I watch gameplay videos. I never expected it to be THAT fantastic. Even GameSpot, who’s been awfully stingy with its reviews post-Gerstmanngate, has given the game […]

I’m sure you’re no stranger to GTA games, especially the latest ones that made its way into the third dimension. If you’re a purist like me, then you probably hate the console versions’ shooting mechanics. Yes, it uses auto-aim, and it’s a sellout.It looks like part IV would change the way we play GTA. Sure, […]
