This month sees the long awaited launch of Grand Theft Auto IV, a game unlike any other that has defied the laws of controversy. This time players will assume the role of illegal immigrant Niko Bellic - who's only known trade is assassination. The word on the street is that in single player mode this game can be completed in 30 hours. However, with a plethora of 
added features and hidden missions, that time can easily be doubled.
gameTM magazine says: "The world will never be the same once GTA goes online".
The game's developers at Rockstar Games think: "We've pushed ourselves to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment."
Well, based on the reviews so far, it seems Rockstar has achieved its goal. 
Whilst the single-player story mode has gone down a storm, the online multi-player function is stealing all the headlines. Going interactive allows up to sixteen players to engage 12 different modes of game play. From gang turf wars to modern day cops vs robbers, this has it all.
In terms of scores we looked at Gamespot UK for advice:
GameSpot score 10/10
Critic score (based on 24 reviews) 9.9/10
User score (based on 8,159 voters) 9.3/10
Here's the last Trailer Rockstar Games has released:
I personally love the in-game radio station 'Electrochoc' - track list was created by DJ Francois K and includes beats from Justice, Deadmou5 and Simian Mobile Disco. A full list of tunes can be found here.
