I’m a chatty Cathy today it seems.  Three posts in one day after about a week of not writing a damn thing.  Well tomorrow I’m excited because a certain game from Rockstar comes out.  Yup, Grand Theft Auto IV is coming out and I’m excited like you wouldn’t believe. 

It’s strange that I’m into video games now.  I took years off of playing them only to get sucked in by the Wii and now the PS3.  Hell the last GTA I played was the original 2D one for the PC.  Yeah, it was crappy graphically but damn it certainly was fun mowing down those monks in cars and shooting your friends in multiplayer.

Now that there’s multiplayer in it again I’m happy.  It’s nice to play through a game, but after you beat it what do you do?  Well with GTA and CoD4 you can play random people online or your friends.  Infinite hours of good times to be had.  I need more friends with a playstation though

It’s even getting great reviews.  IGN gave their first 10.0 rating in like a decade.  That has to say something.  Though what really cracks me up are the people bitching about the game already because of what you do in it.  Come on people.  With the amount of media the first ones got you’d figure by now that anything in this series of video games is going to be violent, involve some sort of misogyny towards any and all women in it, and of course drugs.  It’s a game about jackin’ cars and shooting drug dealers for fuck sake!

Well, I’m looking forward to coming home from the office tomorrow and shooting some cops and pimpin’ some hos.  I’m sure I’m not the only person out there that feels this way about hte game.

There seems to be this running trend.  Every time my room mate goes to Best Buy for a television I end up purchasing a gaming console.  When he bought the old one that broke I ended up getting a Wii because they were actually in stock.  This time around I ended up purchasing Sony’s Playstation 3.  There were a few factors that came down to buying this, all in all I have to say I’ve enjoyed the ever living hell out of it.

Now I actually don’t know anybody with a PS3.  Everyone I know has an Xbox 360.  It does have a lot more games than the PS3, but it seems like that trend is going to change.  Regardless, the games I want to play are out on both platforms.  It’s really just a moot point for me.

When I bought the PS3, I really should have picked up Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  Instead I picked up Viking: The Battle for Asgard.  It’s a fun game and all, very much like God of War.  It’s fun.  I stopped by Best Buy on my way home and did pick up CoD4 along with a dual shock controller.

Wow, what fun!  Shooting guns, killing bad guys!  Damn it’s crazy.  Running around the entire world doing crazy ass missions.  Now I see the reason why this series has done so well.  The attention to detail is absolutely stunning.  Then add in the HD goodness, wow.  When I have to buy a television I’m definitely getting something like this *g*
