OK, I give up. After two weeks of attempting to post a full-fledged review of “Grand Theft Auto IV,” I have thrown up my hands in surrender. It is simply not meant to be.
In fact, after Wednesday’s storms knocked out the power at my house and, in the process, fried my laptop which — you guessed it — contained the aforementioned “GTA” review, I am convinced that there is some higher power at work here.
Rather than tempt fate again, I concede.
So, in place of a full-blown review of “GTA IV,” today I’ve decided to give a few quick hits on some of the games I’ve been playing lately, “GTA” included:

You have to give the developers at Nintendo credit.
First, they challenged our brains with “Brain Age.” Now, they’re challenging our bodies with “Wii Fit.” And make no mistake — “Wii Fit” will challenge your body. Chances are, though, you’ll be having such a good time you won’t even feel the burn.

The long wait for “Grand Theft Auto IV” is finally over. Rockstar’s gem went onsale at midnight at several retailers and should be available everywhere by this afternoon.
Having spent only a few hours with the game last night/early this morning, I can already say that the hype surrounding ”GTA IV” was spot on. This game is legit. It’s the greatest “GTA” to date and one of the most painstakingly detailed and polished games I’ve ever seen.
I could keep gushing over how fantastic “GTA IV” is, but I need to go wreak more havoc on Liberty City. Expect a full review shortly, but in the meantime go out and grab this game. It’s an experience that’s not to be missed.
