GTA 4 I played even more, but found myself more and more frustrated with the actual game - losing missions because of the crappy physics engine - bumping into stairs that the character should be easily walking up or crashing into a small rock on the beach that flips my car (even though it can plow through other cars and knock down street lights on a highway. It was strange because you wanted to play GTA 4 for the freedom, the story - everything that was good about it - but if you were playing other games at the same time you would always feel like there was something not quite right in the over the shoulder view, the guns response, the aiming, the auto-aim, the......

Two Recommended Documentaries

Heck, they even have a forum already....
