Check out
this story over on GamesRadar where one of their folks spills the beans about his preview of the full Grand Theft Auto IV game.

You're the first games writer to have finished GTA IV, how does that feel?
Pretty darn sweet to be honest, I allowed myself a quick smug grin when the Rockstar guys told me! It's funny; I didn't actually really get to play as much as – say – the Benelux journos we met while up in Chelsea (we were based in Rockstar's actual offices and I think I racked up 25 hours at the final count, while they were ensconced in their hotel rooms playing up to 11 hours a day!) and I also had to write down some fairly comprehensive tips for the first batch of missions so actually I got off to a slow start.
On day two though, I flew through a major batch of the story missions without messing up once and then on the final day a Rockstar PR sidled up to me pretty late on while I was swearing my head off at getting stuck during a mission called 'A D*** B*** S**** C***' (edited to avoid spoiler) and said "Keep pushing on, you're actually nearly there. The missions are meant to be tough near the end!". It's true; the final couple of missions are rock, but after a couple of retries I finally made the breakthrough. And boy did I feel relieved; to have missed out that late on after all that, ahem... 'hard work' would have been hard to take.

i have to admit, this game really makes me want a PS3...like
really. Anyway, read this short article if you're at all interested in the game, there's a lot of cool stuff being said.
So who here thinks they'll be among the first to finish this game? Anyone planning on flying through the main story but going back and doing the side missions after they find out what happens in the center plot?
