In a mere 24 hours from now, several thousand's of Australian’s will put their hands onto the cover of this year’s most anticipated game. Grand Theft Auto IV will be released at exactly this time tomorrow night, 12:01am. Many game stores will be having a Midnight Launch; others will open early on the day to release the game to a no-doubt large line of eager gamers. Whether you have it pre-ordered or are planning on buying it from a local store on the day, we do hope you enjoy the game.

However remember, others won’t have the game until several hours after you. So keep that erge to ruin it for your American, English or German friends locked up in the game controller. Don’t upload videos of you playing it, don’t hop on MSN and tell John about the 3^rd mission where so-and-so dies, and above all don’t go uploading the game illegally.

Let others experience the game for themselves and have that feeling we all love, that feeling of opening the box and putting the disc into the console then watching that loading bar for the first time. We all want to enjoy the game, so don’t go and ruin it for your best friend or some random person on a forum somewhere. Let them have the same excitement you will have.

Well that is it from me for the next two days, I have a game to get ready for and then play non-stop until my eyes are sort and blood shot. Aj will keep you up-to-date on the American happenings and Ciaran on the UK news. But from me, I do wish you a fun and eventful 2 days; I’m sure you are all going to truly enjoy Grand Theft Auto IV, the game that took 4 years to develop and only a small time to excite, impress and send the media into frenzy. Thanks Rockstar Games and Rockstar North, for another fantastic contribution to the world of entertainment, from the kings of the word itself.
