Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)

"GTA IV" is Rockstar's latest release in the controversial bestselling series of games. In this episode you are Niko Bellic, a Yugoslavian national who has travelled to America from Serbia. He is leaving the wars behind and has moved to follow the American Dream following an invite from his cousin. As with most games in this series the early missions are more of a tutorial than a challenge. However, this works well in giving you a feel for the game and the differences from the previous ones. I think the main thing I took from the early missions is that this is the first game to actually utilise a lot of the PS3's capacity. Other titles just ...  Read the complete review

GTA IV is the first game in the GTA series to be released on the next gen consoles. It follows on from the highly successful 3D games released on the PS2 and this one is the first true sequel to GTA III.

Graphically the game is what you would expect of a seventh ...  Read the complete review

You come over from Russia to see you're cousin and what he says is the american dream. Soon you are dragged into the american criminal underworld of liberty city. I have only been playing this game for a couple of weeks and can safely say its going in my list of top games. Firstly the controls are very easy to master like most GTA games with the driving easy aswell. That brings me onto the cars themselves, they are very detailed with every crash bringing a new dent. Also if you ...  Read the complete review
