We’re only a few days away from the release of Grand Theft Auto IV and that’s all anyone cares about right now. I definitely agree, now with the latest previews, reviews, and leaked gameplay footage floating around, it’s hard to care about friends, work, school, or family. The first review for GTA IV has been released by IGN with a whopping 10 (masterful) tacked on.

IGN’s review of GTA IV is pretty groundbreaking, it seemed like the number 10 was getting thrown around a lot lately. You had games such as, Bioshock and Halo 3 pulling 10’s out of their ass making the rating feel all too meaningless. IGN, however, is one of the few remaining credible reviewers I base my decision to buy games on. Especially since they didn’t follow suit and throw a 10 to the above games that, face it, were undeserving of the score.

Check out their video review:

You should expect to see a slew of more reviews to come on Monday, and don’t anticipate anything less then a 9. If you’re still thirsting for more GTA IV goodness, you can read the written review (provides a more detailed look at the game), or you can check out the latest trailer released:

See you all in Liberty City April 29th.
