Irony, Thy Name Is Niko

So, what have I been doing for the past week?

In what can only be described as a perhaps inevitably ironic turn of events, immediately after posting my [snarky item](http://tleaves.com/2008/04/30/gta- bore/) about how I had no intention of buying or playing Grand Theft Auto IV, the editor-in-chief of a game magazine informed me that he was sending me a copy to review.

So, I’ve been playing the hell out of GTA IV. You’ll see my real review in PTD in a few weeks, but I’ll say up front that the game has surprised me in more than a few ways.

Damn it.
