This Tuesday (April 29) the much awaited GTA IV will be on the shelves. The streets will be devoid of youngsters who will all be congregating around games consoles committing digital crime. GTA IV is the eleventh title in the series (including ports to PSP etc) and if you are interested in a complete history have a read of Games Radar GTA History article. The GTA titles have always been controversial and have been banned in some countries (Brazil) but this just seems to have acted as free publicity for Rockstar. So what makes the GTA series so popular.
Probably one of the most popular aspects of this game is the fact that you play such an immoral character. Most people just do not even consider this type of lifestyle in real life and yet everyone is intrigued by it. Just think about it wander around and take what you want, when you want. As well as this aspect of its attraction there is also the fact that you do not have to slavishly follow the story to enjoy the game. You can go and make up your own degenerate lifestyle and find your own crimes to commit.
Preview material seems pretty hard to get hold of at the moment and everyone and their cat are claiming that they have got a copy ahead of us. No they don't they are lying Rockstar are being very careful in what pre-release material is out there. They don't need to give anything away as this title is a guaranteed to be a run away success. Us normal people are just going to have to wait until Tuesday to get our hands on a copy.
