One other thing-- why don't Will's legs burn off when the jetpack's flame and exhaust hit his legs?

I don't get why the player can't just use the jetpack to climb those "vertical cover" scenes. Why not just fly above all the enemies and shoot them from above? This part doesn't make sense.

Where can I get my hands on that song? I love it in every new trailer that comes out.

I don't see how we'll be able to know whether player actions would really influence the outcome of the series, or if the outcome will be predetermined by the writers; how will we know that the story will not follow an arc that is unchangeable by the players?

this ad firm effectively just equated video games to sex.

whats with the 'rape' part? can someone show me a game where you actually rape someone?

I, too, thought about the game in different lenses. What if it were Germans killing the Jewish? That would enrage me to no end. For this reason I can see why the black community would be angered by the content of the game.

this movie is going to have to release with gears of war 3 since development time on gow2 was only about two years.

Of course analysts say that the stock price already reflects the value of GTA4 sales. They always say that. But when Bioshock came out, TTWO shares shot up a couple of dollars. Big name games always boost stock prices around launch. TTWO shares will see a nice boost after the launch of GTA4 no matter what analysts say. It's a guarantee.

if they were charging for this content i would be pretty pissed but since its free its forgivable. there just a problem in calling it DLC when it is, in fact, already on the cartridge. sure you download an "unlock code" but thats a major step away from actually transferring new levels over the internet.
