Is anybody else as pumped about Grand Theft Auto IV as I am? A few weeks ago, I was only mildly interested in its pending release. But as the date nears, the buzz is really starting to pick up speed. First, I came across this article that talks about a GTA franchise first...online multi-player mode.

Suddenly, I'm a LOT more interested in this game. Having free reign of ALL of Liberty City in which to play these multi-player modes will result in a completely different outcome every time you play.

Now I'm starting to see some of the reviews for it, and everyone seems to be giving it a perfect score.

A+ from 1up.com: http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3167589&p=4

10/10 from IGN.com: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/869/869381p1.html

So now it looks like I'll be standing it line somewhere tonight, hoping to get my hands on this.
