Yes, I just got Grand Theft Auto IV on its first day! For now I’m sitting in Oklahoma cafe resisting the urge to go home and play it.

First impressions- the supplied map is very big, and the instruction book hints that the game is full of the twisted satirical humour of its forebears.

The game’s only been available since midnight and already there are sites dedicated to cheats and walkthroughs. But then, they’ve got GTA IV guidebooks sat on the shelves by the game as well.

Right, I’m going to get some script writing done whilst the game’s still in its box and can’t distract me.
