$500 Million Week for Grand Theft Auto

I guess I’m not the only one…

I’ve played through a couple sessions and I feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface of all the game has to offer.

It took a little while to get a hold of the controls. After that I was rolling. This game sucks up some time.

I haven’t even hoped on Multi player yet.

GTA IV just passed Call of Duty 4 on Xbox Live
