Game of the year candidate coming out in under a month. Anybody else pumped?

Beautiful? Check.
Rockstar built in open world? Check.
Rockstar built in violence and amusing missions? Check.
All of this set in the WILD WEST? Double Check.

yeah, i cant wait for that game. I've been looking at all the videos and previews and stuff and it looks awesome.

I'm definately looking forward to this one. The 1st one they did sucked, it was too cartoonish. This one looks great though

I really liked the first one. One of the few games that kept me interested enough to finish it. Looking forward to this one.

I hope that they updated the control scheme. I may be in the minority on this one, but the GTA controls were sluggish, unresponsive, and clunky. I mean, I still beat it, though

Ill give you that with GTA, but Rockstar has given me enough in the last decade to trust them to have a fun game with an impressive lifespan.

It's gotten very good reviews so far. Game Informer gave it a 9.75/10.

Here's a good review from the NY Times:

I've got it coming on Tuesday. I'm pretty excited about it. I liked the first one and the western idea keeps me intrigued.

I can't wait.

I just finished Dragon Age Origins, and I'm working on Heavy Rain and God of War. As soon as I finish those, which shouldn't take too long, Read Dead is next up on my list.

That did make me nervous. It's part of the reason I never really got into the GTA games too much. Hopefully these are better.

Smart Ass

I have checked every video game site and they are just talking about the story mode. No solid reviews as of yet.

You can't imagine how long I've been waiting to use that site. lmao For that, I thank you.

Think GTA, but upgraded... with horses...

What I'm looking forward to is Posse mode, where you can roll with your XBL friends through the desert and maraud crap. Totally cool.

This will probably be the game of the summer, at least until Black Ops comes out.
