Don't know if there's another thread for this, but GTA IV has been getting the best reviews I've ever seen.

Actually they always get 10's. San Andreas did too. I gotta say for me they deserved them. As far as open world gameplay goes, they are like 3 steps ahead of everyone else on consoles.

The game will be officially released at midnight tonight, and it's already being called legendary. Current review averages range from 99 to 100% and are containing comments like "GTA IV gives us characters and a world with a level of depth previously unseen in gaming and elevates its story from a mere shoot-em-up to an Oscar-caliber drama. Every facet of Rockstar's new masterpiece is worthy of applause. Without question, Grand Theft Auto IV is the best game since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"

Wow! Bold statements, but I've got a feeling that GTA IV is going to be special. Anyone else picking this up? If so, for 360 or the PS3?

PS3 version.

I didn't get it yet b/c it's finals week. My last one's in about 40 minutes, so I'd say once I sell my textbooks I'll have the disposable to make it happen. Really looking forward to this shit.
I didn't even buy my textbooks this semester, Ray. Is that a bad thing?
