The game is still so much fun though. My opinion of it may worsen over time but really, GTA IV was awesome.

regardless of gears…saints row does shooting better…i think they get by alot on their branding, and their story telling isnt as fantastic as its hyped up…those cutscenes and crab hands just dont cut it…

one thing i will agree on….driving around “brooklyn” was really amazing…and i love the world…and nico himself is a good character…but so many things in that game fall short for me, i gave it a good shot, but at a certain point i lost track of what was happening, and was really looking at my “moral” choices more as mechanical decisions in progressing the game…ironically…the only character i enjoyed…brucie…what an amusing Dbag

the sometimes overly long cutscenes are hurt by the poor acting in the characters…they are ok…but if feel alot of the time the dialogue and scene feels like a poor tarantino or scorcese….and not even tarantino is always good at what he does…

And I don't think it's fair to compare GTA IV to Gears of War or to Persona 3 because it's not just about the shooting or the social aspects. It really is about the whole. It took me a while to really get into that game but I had a blast with it after I did. I'm really interested in what your list would look like so get to it.
