"It's not GTAIV or Rockstar's fault that GTAIV wasn't the best game ever in your, and many other's opinions."
Yeah, it was reviewers for ignoring flaws and bugs just for some misguided attempt at proving big budget HD games are better than crappy casual games (how dare MK Wii take out snaking).
Not claiming praise was undeserved for GTA IV, just that when it had the hype of being the savior of HD gaming, it seemed that reviewers based their scores on that rather than the actual game. In other words, I think it got praise for the wrong reason.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
