Net of the net, not sure how it's even possible but according to many of the below reviews, it looks like GTA 4 will SURPASS its ONCE in a LIFETIME HYPE.
This sure to be HIGH visibility development bodes well for the entire video game industry in 2008.
*FYI, I am currently playing the positive trends in the video game sector via my ownership of Gamestop (GME) shares. Also, in a somewhat risky move, I got back into TTWO today around $26.50/share believing Electronic Arts (ERTS) will now be FORCED to up their current $2 Billion takeover bid for Take Two. In my opinion, Electronic Arts' own aggressive 2009/2010 earnings per share + revenue growth company stated goals depend on adding Take Two Interactive to their portfolio. Also, with close to $2 Billion in cash, the company can easily afford to up the ante...especially when we're talking about purchasing what should now be undoubtedly viewed as the MOST SUCCESSFUL VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME!!!)
