I think it will get 360 Game of the Year and overall Game of the Year at IGN with Metal Gear Solid 4 being PS3 Game of the Year and GTA IV's only real competition for overall Game of the Year. I knew GTA IV was a special game the moment I walked Nico Bellic into his room and heard one of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins (one of my top five favorite bands of all time)' songs coming from the radio, then I turned on the tv and saw the best satires of modern society that I had ever seen in any popular media with the possible exception of South Park, and despite the haters and naysayers (who really didn't like the game only because it got higher reviews than certain games that they preferred egs. Gears I fans but GTA IV was also to the unbiased eye clearly superior to Gears accounting for its score.  If Gears and Bioshock received a 94  and 97 (same as Mario Galaxy) and  GTA was clearly superior it had to get better review scores see and it did and that my friends is why the review system isn't broken; and Zelda fans that were upset that it scored just as high as Ocarina and that apparently prefer to follow green clad fairy boys through the woods than to play a game which features real life problems as a main concern but since GTA 4 was just as good as Ocarina -- to be honest Ocarina still has a higher Metacritic score but having played them both, I can honestly say that I prefer GTA IV and MGS4 --and the original Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, then it deserved the same score, ya dig), and it only got better from there.

     I also think that GTA IV was a primary influence on at least three of the greatest Youtube videos of all time.

     Equally classic stuff right there.

hahaha lol, and whatever else refers to laughing on the ninternet.  Real life problems in a grand theft auto game.

 

     Yes, GTA deals with real life problems.  Perhaps you don't know what it means to down on your luck, broke, unable to get a job in this world due to a criminal past, a bad reputation, and political enemies that other people in your family made through no fault of your own.  GTA shows some solutions to these problems rather than trying to say we live in a fairy tale world where everything turns out great for all the nice people at the end of the day and the hero always saves the princess.

 



Heavens to Murgatoids.
