Not a chance. Game of the year? Maybe. Greatest game of all time? I think The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Bros. might have a few things to say about that.</div>

    Are you kidding me? I take you don't know much about it. All the features, and exactly how big this game actaully is.

    It took Rockstar a year, just to explore New York them selfs, and trace the city in the game. Multiplayer with 16 players, free roaming the city, or have a chance to challenge others in 15 different modes. They started working on this game, weeks after SA was released. Which is 2004. That's nearly 5 long years of working on this game.

    GTA IV will arguably by far, be the greatest game of all time. No doubt, hands down. No question about it. And maybe game of the year? Lets not get carried away now. You've been living under a rock for way too long.

    I understand Legend Of Zelda and Super Mario Bros were the shit back then. But seriously, come on. You're living in the past.
    </div>

    Ya know, there is this thing called an opinion. In my OPINION, Legend of Zelda: OoT is the greatest game ever, easily. I wasted a lot of my life playing that game and it's still the single most memorable gaming experience I've ever had. I could go and play it today and still have as much fun now as I did nearly a decade ago when the game was released.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that GTAIV will be amazing. As I said, I expect it to be the Game of the Year, maybe even the game of the decade. However, for me at least, I don't think it's going to top Ocarina of Time for me. That game is basically the reason why I love video games. It did everything it possibly could right. The story was amazing, it had the best action out of any game in its time, the boss battles were epic, in general, the game was epic. GTAIV will be amazing, but I don't see it topping Zelda.

    I think the time to pre-order is too late by tomorrow. You'd have to pre-order it tonight if you want it Tuesday.

    Lol, no their not. Stores are going to be stocked. It's the biggest video game release of the decade--they're going to have plenty...between: Gamestop, Wal-mart, Target, Circuit City, Frye's, Best Buy, Costco, Sam's Club, etc...your area is going to have plenty of copies.

    Pre-ordering is for nerds, any ways. ;-)

    However, I will be at my Best Buy @ 10:00 AM to get an hour or so of game play in before I have to work.

    What are the chances I get my game on Tuesday from Best Buy? Tomorrow would be a good day to get it too.

    Some group already released the game in Europe last week. US version is floating around the Nets as of yesterday. I just spent 30 minutes in it. The opening is pretty hot.

    Circuit City is offering a $10 gift card if you buy any version of the game from them.

    Best Buy will usually match stuff like that.

    I want to get it from Best Buy, if they match that, because I've got a $5 Reward Zone certificate towards them. If not, no big deal, I'll just give my money to CC.

    I pre-ordered my copy at Super Target. I'll be there early morning to pick it up and thankfully enough I have the day off work too.

    You elitist...Super Target, eh? ;-)

    Something about Illinois and elitism (Obama)...

    :-)

    All you pre-order people are actually starting to make me worry about not getting a copy. Is it too late to pre-order?

    If you pre-order online tonight they may get you a copy. I remember watching something on TV a few nights ago that some people may get lucky to find a copy at a store in the morning or at midnight. Very doubtful though, but I wouldn't worry too much about it to be honest. Your best bet is to be at a shop bright and early or find a site that'll take a late pre-order.

    The Best Buy by me has never had a problem running out of a new release, so I'm banking on that. If it does fail, I'll just order it online and wait a couple of days.

    Ha. I just realized seniors have exams next week. Guess we'll have a fun time studying for those with GTA out. Talk about poor timing.
