In my prologue, I must ask: what funding, exactly, did you have contributing to your gaming budget when we were thirteen? I mean, I wasn't even turning tricks yet, and you've always been pro - OSHA underage labor laws. What aren't (or didn't) you telling (tell) me?
In my meat and potatoes paragraph, I must say this game (based entirely on your review) reminds me of a game on SNES called something like Vortex with better graphics. Vortex (or similar) sucked, and so probably does this.
In conclusion, I have to ask: who is selling these upgrades to your equipment? If these uber-corporations have truly taken over, is capitalism dead and you are merely giving their money back to them via proxy?
The constant critiquing the game against Rockstar's Piece de Resistance is almost distracting to me, although I will admit I have never played either of these games.
I'm just curious - would it have been ok to make more generic statements based upon the vitals of the game (relating to hardware, general storyline, etc.) and then compared it to the premier sandbox title in the conclusion paragraph, or was it mandated that it be compared head-on with GTA IV>
If only it could have been I to have played this with you, and not the infamous Lukaaz, unholy jew from the seventh layer of hell. Maybe someday you will take me back into your gaming graces.
I have to say it: I liked the movie.
Also - what's up with the punctuation FAILS that have plagued the last two reviews?
