Over at EB Games on Powell Street, people lined up this morning to plunk down $60 to commit heinous acts of vehicular manslaughter. You see, Grand Theft Auto IV went on sale today. Apparently, it's the most realistic version yet, thus the franchises most gruesome. Hopefully. And according to the Chron, "about two dozen hardcore video gamers streamed into the store when a clerk unlocked the front door at 10 a.m. ... head[ing] right for the cash register, $20 bills in hand," looking to get their hands on this month's must-have game
So far, sales seem to be doing very well; critics are, of course, disgusted; and Wired has a nifty poll going on, asking if GTA is the best game title of all time. (We say Tetris. Or Space Quest.)
Oh yeah, and Grand Theft Auto IV is rated "Mature," kids. Don't play it, or it will ruin your life forever.
