But then that's all reviews are anyway, aren't they? Personal opinions? Just because a couple of people don't award the game as much as you think it's worth, that doesn't mean that you're going to think exactly the same, does it? And it definitely doesn't mean that it's a bad game.

This debate's going to go on forever, whenever a triple-A title gets released. It happened with Smash Bros. Brawl. It happened with Halo 3. It happened with Assassin's Creed. I'm sure there must be a couple of people who didn't give GTAIV a 10 as well.

At the end of the day, scores are pretty useless anyway. It's impossible to sum up an experience in numerical format. This is why I like Kotaku's review structure.

Ultimately, if you like the game, adore it, even, and want to have its babies, then good for you. But that doesn't mean you should deject every single other opinion. It's fine to disagree, less so to shout it down.

Can I answer twice? Because you can apply the above to MMORPGs as well. Tried Guild Wars for a while. Hated it. Tried some others briefly. Hated them. No thanks.

The first movie and the TV series are a zillion times better though.

Hope someone will actually pay full price for it this time around!

Anyway, this video's piqued my interest a little. I just looove music games anyway. Haven't got a clue where I'm going to *put* the bastard thing, but there we go.

Great work, guys. The intro particularly was just perfect!

...it was shit. Oh well, there you go.

(Note: I will be buying a copy, at the very least :D)

Only 3 days to go. I can't wait any longer :D

So you start outside your lawyer's office after an explosive start. Fair enough. Nothing special. Nothing you wouldn't see in any old Hollywood Miami flick. I shimmied into the side alley and got on the pink scooter. You know what starts playing?

Billie Jean. Fron just that second, I was absolutely hooked. I spent hours roaming around the first island just listening to the radio. I credit Vice City for introducing me to 80s music (being born in the late 80s, I kinda missed the whole scene what with the whole 'being a baby' thing).

Vice City was so beautifully realised (albeit in blur-o-vision), so fleshy and full of life, that I *was* Tommy Vercetti. Never before and never since has a game has such an impact on me, and immersed me in the world so brilliantly.

One of the best April Fools things I've seen all day. Adam, I look forward t seeing more videos soon. Any less than ten a day and I'll do something... bad. Na, who am I kidding ;-)

Welcome to Kak- I mean *Ko*taku my man :-D

Awesome stuff.

There's a few classics I've never seen the end of though. Half-Life 1 and 2, for starters. I never finished the original Halo for some reason either, but completed both the sequels.

This'll be much better now than it was then, what with the glory of Xbox Live an' all.

Kotaku kept being linked to on a forum I go on quite regularly, for the British mag GamesTM, and about six months ago (or something) I decided to start reading regularly.

I think what might be most unfortunate is that he won't be around for the new edition of the game, released in the summer. Sad news :-(

R.I.P.

This whole thing is absolutely astounding. That anyone can say something like this without getting their facts straight is completely unbelieveable. I know JT's been doing it forever, but that's absolutely no excuse. In this day and age, you expect better from the people that run the country. I mean, how long would it have taken him to check out the details? It's widely covered on the 'net and in the papers and everywhere else you can imagine. No excuses.

I'm glad, though, that there's a couple of MPs out there who went out of their way to set the record straight. More of this please. Less of Mr. Vaz.
