With Grand Theft Auto IV launching tomorrow night at midnight (Tuesday for those of us who can’t stay up till midnight anymore just to buy a video game), the reviews are pouring in. There have been a lot of high quality games that received very high scores in recent years, from most of the gaming community big shots, but never has a game gotten such an overwhelmingly and consistently high review, from so many different sites. This might be the game of this console generation, and maybe one of the best games of all time. Time will tell of course, and we’ll all get our chance with the game shortly, but for now check out these review scores…

Pretty incredible scores, all across the board, IGN in particular stands out, quite simply, because they haven’t given a perfect score for a game in over a decade, so while you always take reviews with a grain of salt, that at least says something.

Below you’ll find a video teaser taken from the games website, and it introduces you to the new main character, Niko Bellic, and I highly recommend checking it out. Enjoy, and maybe I’ll see some of you guys online this week for some crazy multi-player action, that is of course if I can pry myself away from the single player.
