    GTA IV is the story of Niko Bellic and his search for answers, money, and vigilante justice. GTA has always mixed genres, but GTA IV exemplifies the sandbox game type by being equal parts racer, third-person shooter, dating simulator, and playground - there's even an option to turn off the story so that the plot and characters won't bother you while you're rampaging through Algonquin and trying desperately to avoid the NOOSE (Liberty City's SWAT equivalent).

    A lot has changed in the gaming world since Rockstar released GTA: San Andreas, the last entry in the incredibly successful and highly controversial Grand Theft Auto series. The next generation of consoles has taken the forefront, and with it changed the scope and scale of gaming in many ways. In the last several years especially, games have pushed the boundaries of their genre to limits never before seen. Games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Uncharted have made incr... Read more

    Ein Fazit zu GTA IV zu schreiben ist fast unmöglich, da es sich sicher um eines der außergewöhnlichsten Spiele für die Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 handelt. Allein der Umfang, der dieses Spiel aufweist kann, ist referenzverdächtig. Abgesehen von der Story, bietet das Spiel wieder die gewohnte Grand Theft Auto-Atmosphäre, welche wir schon aus der Vergangenheit gewohnt waren. Die Atmosphäre zeichnet sich durch realistische Videoanimationen und einen gelungen Sound aus. Lobens... Read more

    “How can we advance the video game industry?” is a question that plagues many developers’ minds. The goal with most blockbuster games is to make an extraordinarily fantastic game that’s fun to play and appeals to a wide audience. Up to this point, all of these attempts have done pretty good jobs. Back in 1997 Nintendo showed everyone how single player adventures would be handled with Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A year later Valve released Half Life, a game that could tell... Read more

    Well heck, this is heartening, for sure. I'm glad it doesn't hype me up so that it makes me long for the PC version (the wait hurts :P). Looks like I'll enjoy it much more than prequels, however. Now they just have to port it like pros. Meanwhile, Mass Effect for the PC cometh! Read more
