Good news. I ordered GTA IV for Playstation 3. Do I own a Playstation 3? No. But that is a secondary problem I will figure out. I am obsessed with this game.

Thankfully, as of Tuesday, I will be in Europe for the two weeks until its release and will be busy with seeing parts of the world I’ve never seen and not browsing the interwebs for the latest previews and screenshots. But I am expecting it to be waiting in a stack of mail for me when I get home.

I am particularly excited about the multiplayer aspect of this game. The single player would be enough to occupy my time for months, but the multiplayer might have infinite replay value — much like PvP in WoW, except way cooler.

Some preliminary reviews are out and the concensus is 10/10, or “this game is fucking awesome.” Can’t wait.

GTA IV is coming out in less than a month now. This would be the game that could get me to fork over the money for a next gen console — if Uncle Sam hadn’t raped my wife and I on taxes this weekend, and if we weren’t going to Europe in a few weeks. But even with our savings depleted, I think I could eat Ramen noodles for months if I could do so while playing this game. Or I’ll just go to Jesse’s apartment every day and watch him play.

IGN has a long interview with Rockstar’s Dan Houser and Aaron Garbut.
