Tribune: Is 'Grand Theft Auto IV' the greatest writing of the century?

Everyone's entitled to their opinions but when the author compared GTA IV to the twelve labors of Hercules I had to roll my eyes. Also, as much as cinema has hugely disappointed me since the beginning of this century, saying that GTA 4 is better written than any movie since 2000 is just a horrible statement. Sadly, it is better written than several of them though.

Same here.

I think that some day we will get to the point where video games are great interactive storytellers, but at this point they almost all rely on cutscenes.  I get that in TV and movies.  Give me something different!  Hopefully I will see videogames mature into something more unique in terms of storytelling.  At this point the medium is still very young.
