I don’t often read game reviews. One reason I try to stay away from them is to maintain the integrity of my own critiques. Reviewing videogames is an important part of my job description, and I want my words to be as original and truthful as they can be.
The other reason I avoid reviews is because sometimes I think reviewers are living in a different friggin’ reality than the one that I’m experiencing. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy getting a bit of a different perspective on things, but some of what people say about certain games makes me want to hand out awards for being dumb…or drugged.
Such is the case with Grand Theft Auto 4 reviews. Click through to see my stance on the game and what I feel about its reception thus far.
