Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

Time to take a look into the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV.
I, personally, read the entire story that was written on this subject, and I believe this will, without a doubt, be the best Grand Theft Auto yet. Most of the places in this game are based on modern day cities and such. But with little tweaks throughout. You will notice as you play. If not already posted, I will upload some demos later on. But anyway, to all Rockstar fans, read up on the entire first look review by GameSpot. It's not real long, and it will help you better understand the new game.
The Liberty City in GTAIV is a modern-day metropolis that's a bit different than the one we know. The city is based on New York, though there's no version of Staten Island in the game. For fans at home already working on their maps, the borough of Broker is based on Brooklyn, Dukes is based on Queens, Bohan is based on the Bronx, Algonquin is based on Manhattan, and Alderney is based on New Jersey. Our tour took us on a run-through of some of the neighborhoods in Broker, underneath the Algonquin bridge overpass, and eventually out to the docks to look out on the city proper. The environment had a lived-in look that featured pedestrians, homeless, trash, steaming manholes, traffic, and an impressive array of little touches used to set the scene. But, while we expected all that, the demo showed off a new wrinkle to the densely packed environments: height. Though "verticality" has turned into one of the catchiest buzz words for new games, it's still an interesting feature to see. From the sound of it, GTAIV is going to let you go up or down buildings in the game as needed. Our demo showed Niko climbing a power pole and taking a look around at the environment--highlighting the impressive draw distance. But we also noticed that the dense city environment, which is roughly the same size as San Andreas, will be a layered locale with things to see and do at different heights. If it works the way we're hoping, it might offer some additional options when avoiding the police.

Yeah, it does look very good. I'm basically crossing my fingers for high detailed weapon improvements.
