lol Did I say ANYTHING in this thread about GTA IV that he shouldn't listen to? Get lost, MoFo! lol

GTA4 is boring.

even though I'm jumping in here late, Ill throw out a few suggestions.

Mass Effect: a great story, addictive gameplay, and a system that makes every playthrough different, a buy.

Halo: Great multiplayer, but with friends you can even go through Legendary in a day. But the multiplayer alone makes it a buy in my book.

Assassin's Creed: Again, great story, but the formula gets very repetitive around the 3rd-4th kill. I found it has decent replayability, but others beg to differ. Buy/Rent depending your taste.

GTA IV: Fanastic single player, enough to keep you occupied with just the main story for a long time, then after that the simple free-roam and multiplayer will keep you hooked for years to come. A buy.

I also suggest renting Ninja Gaiden II and Army of Two, AoT had some decent gameplay, but when the last mission hit I was ready to stop for good.

As for NG, I rented it and I'm still playing through it, I love it so far but we'll have to see how long that feeling lasts.
