Grand Theft Auto 4

(Fri 05/02/2008 09:13am)

I have barely scratched the surface, and I am loving every minute of it.


Things I like:
The city is alive, bustling, and full of things to see and do.
The car look amazing!


Things I don't like:
Car handling is terrible.  It might just be because I am driving crappy lowlevel cars and not sports cars
Controls seem very touchy.  It might just be because I am not used to the 360's controller, I've only ever owned PS consoles.


Online is fun, but I haven't gotten really deep into it.   Unfortunately, just the little talk I've heard make me wonder if it's even worth going online if all I am going to hear is racial epithets, silly voices, and insane musing instead of interacting with other players.  Quite frankly, that's one of the reasons why I've waited so long to get a nextgen console and get online.  I've heard horror stories, and based on a brief one hour session of Cops and Crooks, I'm inclined to believe they're true. 
Reminds me of Penny Arcade's Internet Dickwad Theory

NetFlix must hate me

I am terrible at watching and returning movies.  I swear, I must have had Superbad for like months now.  I have a huge list of movies I want to see, but once I get them, I never get around to watching them.
