Updated: GTA IV: I may be some time - now on sale

Those of you not au fait with the world of interactive computer entertainment (games), probably don't have the date Tuesday April 29th 2008 burned into your brains like I do. Tomorrow sees the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, arguably the most eagerly-anticipated videogame release of all time.

The game, which is already receiving 10/10 (that's 1/1 on thebadrash.com's binary review scale) ratings everywhere, is set to be more than just another jaunt in the GTA world. It's set in Liberty City, a through-the-looking-glass version of New York City, rendered to an incredible level of 'living and breathing' detail.

As I said, the game is released tomorrow so assuming the PlayStation 3 version on sale in Spain includes the 'versión original' English, I intend to be enveloped in its pillowy embrace for the next few weeks. Baby, it's cold outside.

Grand Theft Auto IV - reviewed in the New York Times.

UPDATE: The game is now on sale in GAME shops in Spain. I've just picked my copy up. If you get one and want to play before midnight, it's probably a good idea to make sure you're disconnected from PSN or xbox Live. I've heard that some online accounts have been suspended for playing the game early.

    Matt and I have decided to go halves on an Xbox 360 and a copy of this game. If you can't beat em… Though we may have to wait a while as the kids are fighting in the shops for it apparently.

    I had a dream one night and woke up with the strong conviction that this was the right thing to do. Advertising is a powerful thing.

    Or should we get a playstation 3 instead?

    Well… I would go for the PS3, mainly because then we could kill each other online. Unfortunately, there's no cross-platform multiplayer. Also, the Xbox 360 has a 30% failure rate, which would worry me.

    But the PS3's more expensive so…

    By the way: the game's great. I'd been looking forward to it for AGES and haven't felt remotely disappointed.
