Well, I should start by thanking everyone who talked me into Grand Theft Auto IV, it was well worth the money spent. I am actually having a blast with the game and I have yet to even check out the online features.
Now, I've only played about an hour and a half of the game, but in that hour in a half, I am very impressed and very happy so far with the game. I have found a couple flaws, but I'm overly happy so far.
Flaw numero uno: Driving. Now, I know it was made to be like "realisitc driving" but holy shit, it's a bitch to drive the damn cars. I think I crashed my car into walls more times in an hour and half of gameplay, than I did in all the GTA's combined. There is no more turning on a dime at high speeds(which is cool in a sense that it is realistic), but damn.
Flaw number 2: The movement "kind of" feels clunky. Maybe I just need to get used to it more, but I feel slower(even after tapping the X button for running), if you don't run, you walk slower than a elderly woman with a broken leg. Wow, that sounds bad, but that's the way it feels.
Anyway, aside from that..the missions are more challenging and I like it. The cars are nicer, the graphics are phenominal, and the gameplay is just FUN. I can't wait to try out the online, but for now, I think I need to learn how to drive better. That concludes my initial thoughts on the game.
So, I played the game a bit and friends came over. We went to BW3's for some chicken wings(was so good-I got hot BBQ) and then we went to Buybacks before the movie. Guess what I bought: NOTHING. They had nothing that interested me, WHAT THE HELL! I'm sure I'll find something later, but I really should be saving.
As far as Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay, I thought it was absolutely hilarious. It may even be better than the first, and I recommend it to anyone who liked the first or just wants a laugh in general. Neil Patrick Harris returns and is really funny. Overall, I was expecting to be let down, but I came out very happy, it will be a automatic buy on it's release day on DVD for me.
Anyways, I have nothing much else to say.

Man, I can't wait for Escape from Guantanamo Bay to hit DVD. Pleased to hear that it's good.
Will you be doing a more in-depth review of GTA IV?
And, to be perfectly honest, from my experiences with the Grand Theft Auto franchise, driving's a rather important aspect of the missions, so I may be even less excited about this game being released having heard that the driving is a bitch.
Yea the driving is surprising. Are there cheats anymore? I was hoping not in this one, at least the armor or health or money cheats anyway.
