Yeah, beautiful art design.

Cool vid.

I remember renting Killzone 3 thinking that I wouldn't really want to play it more than a few days & while it was just rental-quality in many ways like the uber-cheesy dialogue & story Kevin mentions, it was really pretty, had really cool weapon design & was just a lot of fun to play. All that to say it might be worth picking up this one. Also, thanks for the honest, unpadded reviews you guys give (9's & 10's should be reserved for truly exceptional games). It's weird that it wasn't featured on your homepage though, doesn't everyone want to see launch title scores really bad?

Better playlist than expected - The Black Keys, Daft Punk, cool.

I agree with their review. GTA5 is just an amazing & addicting game. I'm really impressed with the technical achievement & storytelling in parts. But there's no getting around the fact that the lack of any shred of morality in this game seriously deteriorates the pleasure of spending time in it's world. I know that some people vehemently defend that this game is about criminals and therefore we should know what to expect & like it, but in my humble opinion there is no reason for everything from the random comments from people on the side of the road, to the situations & the characters themselves to be so vile. If you want a good example of some moral struggle from interesting criminal characters watch Michael Mann's, "Heat." It's my personal hope that someday Rockstar will give us a GTA game that might have characters we could actually fully like, sympathize with & care about. They got closest to this in Red Dead, so maybe someday.

I feel like this review was kind of empty.
