Grand Theft Auto IV

I literally spent my entire weekend playing GTA IV. Critics are calling it the best game ever, and experts are predicting record-breaking sales.  But I have a few bones to pick…

- Niko is capable of walking, running, swimming, climbing, jumping, hand to hand combat, has mastered every imaginable weapon, but can he cook?

-At the part in the game where you’re holding a knife to Gambetti’s throat, it gives you the option to A. kill him, or B. save him, but there’s no option to torture him.

-The cell phone function in the game expanded to perform multiple actions, such as taking pictures or whatever, but it STILL doesn’t hold mp3s. 

-I completed all 9 Assassin Missions, did 100% of the Unique Stunt Jumps and still felt like I wasted my weekend.
