Grand Theft Auto IV

Rumor is that GTAIV is going to have 15 online multiplayer modes. If true that's awesome!

We discussed the DLC for GTAIV somewhat in the PS3 thread, but this is so big, it deserves a mention in it's own thread:

"Of course, to call games as vastly ambitious as Vice City or San Andreas mere 'expansion packs' seems childish, but nevertheless, the downloadable content (DLC) coming for the Xbox 360 version of IV has repositioned those games in just this way. DLC so far has meant the odd new car, jumper of bit of horse armour, but GTA IV is set to completely redefine the idea with expansions that are to GTA IV what Vice City or San Andreas were GTA III. Yes, Rockstar is clearly hinting at new downloadable cities; and the chances of them being London, Vice City or SA again are slim to none. So that's new as in brand new. GTA IV's Liberty City is the beginning. Think about that and be excited."

CVG: GTA IV Xbox DLC will be bigger than San Andreas

A new city, that's bigger than San Andreas?  Wow.  That's definitely something to look forward to.  And I read something recently where the first guy to finish GTAIV wrote a review in which he said it took him 45 hours to complete only 60% of the game.  Sounds like people will definitely be able to get their money's worth out of GTA IV.

That's awesome. I cannot wait to get this game.

Dude... it's a good thing.   

And MGS4 will be coming soon as well.  Best gaming summer in history!

Picked it up at midnight.  Played until 4:30am.  Now I gotta wait until I get back home from work tonight to play it again.  Stupid impressionable children...

Bring the game in let them play. What is the worst that happens, they go home and hound their parents to get a copy to play.

I was talking about my own kids.   

[Jesse James]

If I get it I'll probably let mine play...    They played GT2 or 3 as I recall and the storyline/graphicness never even phased them.  They usually just concentrated on beating it and then quit playing the game.  I think kids exposure to that stuff is overrated somewhat.  Not that I blame you for keeping it from them though either Bill, nothing but good comes from that I figure as well.  Kids are just weird about games I guess and I find they usually care less about what they see and more about beating the game itself.
