EpilepsyKid,
Awesome points thank you.

SNK all de' way!

the SNK Collection is Awesome pick it up while you are picking up GTA it will be money will spent!

I meant San Andreas doesn't have....

online

Hey "robnwogangsta" I think you are one of those typical trouble making teenagers who love the gta series because that's what the game mostly attracts. Man with those kind of games, there are a lot more violent and ignorant people nowadays. Anyways like I said there is no way gta4 will ever be game of the year (no online play). When San Andreas was out, it didn't win game of the year. That belonged to Knights of the Old Republic, and this year will belong to SSBBrawl. To put it bluntly, gta is a disgrace to videogames. I would be happy if Jack Thompson would put an end to the gta series.

Mario Kart Wii and Grand Theft Auto 4 too good to be true. I hope Nintendo finally fixed the Wii racing games. If not I'll have to break out my Wii Classic Control to play Mario Kart. Now to decide GTA4 on Xbox360 or PS3, I think I'll go 360 since it has better online service and achievements.

Yeah... there could not have been a worse week to choose releasing those games. Seriously, what's up with the dudes scheduling those releases? (Boss Man) "Alright let's release it... this month." Later - (random employee looks at calender) "Hey GTA4 comes out that week." (Boss Man) "Crud."

lol, "Let's Yoga" & "Let's Pilates"? I've been wanting to try yoga, but I do think it would be a lot better, and easier to do in "real" life.

Sorry, but a god awful looking, mediocre playing Mario Kart game most likely won't get any recognition this week. GTA IV FTW!!!!

Don't Celebrate yet, GTA Fan boys, I myselft I'm a fan of GTA. GTAIV is a "Fantastic Game", but wait until Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out!. You will see what Gameplay, Graphics and Story telling is about!.

Looks like Iron Man picked the wrong week to come out. You'll see. Everyone will be at home playing GTA IV instead.

@SethandJeremy:
Because if you release a game the same day as it, people are going to look right past it and get GTAIV. It's just not a smart business decision to compete with something that has had this much hype.

With so many people getting GTA IV through pre-order, it's only a matter of time until a multitude of used copies appear. That's when I'll pick it up. It can wait, even though I'm sure it'll be a fine game experience. Nothing mind-blowing, but fulfilling enough.

I'll be outside Gamestop at 12:01 to get my much anticipated and pre-ordered version of Brain Voyage! I do hope they don't sell out.

Woohoo! Baseball Mogul '09!

Why wouldn't you want gta to have competition

Its a bit early now to talk about GOTY dun u think guys?Mean while lets indulge in GTA 4 and wait for MGS 4.Then we'll see...

For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud.

Yay, already back with my copy of GTA IV!! I can understand if Mario Kart doesn't even see a top ten list for a while, it is damn near invisible in comparison to the launch of GTA IV.

I can't see Smash bros, or Grand theft getting game of the year. They are both great games, but they cannot hold a candle compared to Metal Gear Solid 4. In tearm of graphics and gameplay MGS4 will blow them out of the water, and thats not even including the story.

Yay I hope there are more stories about angry film makers blaming video games for their poor ticket sales.

hey people !! just half hour left for midnight release and its going to be incredible. it will surpass everything we knew or know about gaming. ssmb will NOT win goty and as far as gta IV, it remains to be seen if ANYTHING in this year will be able to beat it. i usually never comment on here but for GTAIV it IS an exception !! good luck to everybody and i gave u most thumbs up besides epilepsykid...im sry bro u make no sense ! GRAND THEFT AUTO hahahahahahhaa

mario kart and GTA IV. thats all you need for the next couple months. this is when i hate gamefly cause i fell like im wasting money.

No competion here, GTA4 wins by a million miles

Wow thats bad timming for iorn man. Not that it matters tho. It seems it will be out on Blu Ray in four months anyway.

Thank god I have a wii AND a 360. I'll be playing MarioKart and GTA4 while all you fanboys bicker amongst yourselves.

Its funny how many nintendo fanboys are bashing this game because they cant get it. No site ive seen has rated this game below a 9.5. Most people are saying its the bestgame in ten years and probably win game of the year. But only time will tell.

starfoxmcleoud So can anyone tell me what's so fun about running around and killing anyone you want for absolutely no reason at all?

are you serious or joking? every review says the story and writing in this game is amazing, you dont just go around shooting people for no reason... if your only going around killing people mindlessly in the game then your not enjoying the full GTA experience

Have to mention that Mario game first, don't you?

"Mario Galaxy was last year, so it can't be Game of the Year in 2008, can it genius? And Brawl is junk. Broken online play, no use of the Wii Remote's innovations at all, lame edge-hogging/smash ball grabbing gameplay... If GTAIV doesn't make game of the year, there's no way in hell the title is going to Brawl."

I'mnot sure even GTA4 can snatch game of the year for 2008 with all of the smash hits coming out this year. especially since its coming out so early so hype will have died down when these awards are finally given out. Games like Gears of war 2, and resistance 2 will probably have better chances (asuming they hit their release deadlines) ... not to bash on GTA4 as ?I love the franchise and will probably pick up a copy this friday (sorry cant make it launch day)

"the Wii Virtual Console will welcome only one title this week--the NES beat-'em-up Double Dragon--instead of the typical two new games."
Heh, the typical two new games. Anybody else remember when it was three new games?

"GTA4 will be huge as the analysts say, but it's not good enough to be game of the year. That belongs to Smash Bros. Brawl or Mario Galaxy. Just got Mario Kart Wii and the game rocks!"

Epilepsykid GTA is a contender for it but yes i agree no it won't win. I disagree with you on SSBB will not win goty and SMG was 2007. Man its amazing how nothing wants to compete with GTA its kinda hilarious(well other than Mario Kart).
