Ironman and GTA IV both did very well
unlike Spiderman 3 vs. Halo 3
or Tomb Raider 2 (movie) vs. Tomb Raider 534 (video game) - both sucked!!
D.G. and Brad make up more words
GTA IV Review:
Brad’s Thoughts:
Wasn’t planning on playing the missions, but got into them
Liberty City is beautiful!
GTA IV has explict language - we mean really bad - 7 in 1 sentence bad
took acting quality to a new level in video games
rent with perhaps purchase (if price is right)
D.G.’s Thoughts:
Reminded him of the Dreamcast game, Shenmue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenmue)
Technical aspect of Liberty City is amazing
Can’t stand the game (open-endedness, meaningless tasks, and driving the cars)
Rockstar over-emphasizes controversial things in their games to make more money
rent it, if that… never buy

Yeah Matt, I heard this on IGN Game Scoop and the 1UP Your’s Podcast… since GTA IV is well into the billions, do you think voice actors are able to hold out for more money… just like movie actors? be careful everyone, we may have an actor’s strike right after our writer’s strike… thanks for the post Matt.

p.s. Personally, I’d be satisfied with the 100 k.
