Grand Theft Auto 4 has been getting such ridiculous reviews, I feel compelled to buy the game and play it. However, I've never been wholly enamored by the series. The first and second were never that much fun to me. It just seemed like a top-down game solely on the radar because of all the violence. The third and onward were OK, but what really frustrated me was that the controls were never as tight as I would have hoped. The style of game just never appealed to me.
Still, it's been touted as a wonderful sandbox game (go anywhere, do anything), as well as a compelling single player game. Plus, everyone's calling it the greatest game in history. I have to try it on that basis alone. Still, there's not enough time to try it. Given the breadth and depth of the game, and how I only really play video games about five hours a week, it'll be something of a waste. On top of that, I still have Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to get through.
There would be enough time (there used to be enough time) if I would give up a lot of the things, such as sleep. I don't know where all the time went. Even worse, I don't really mind not being able to play video games every day, all the time. This can only mean one thing; tertiary syphilis causing insanity. Damnation.
