Morning Discussion

by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Apr 30, 2008 5:08am PDT

So not only has Grand Theft Auto 4 launched, now most everyone should have had some decent time with it. Happy with what you see? Well, we've got a new post for talking about it over here. But apparently once you go multi(player), you can't go back. Also, the Shack writers covered both the marketing of GTA4 and the marketing which has been fundamentally driven by gaming. Pretty neat!

If you need some variety from your grand theft coma, this weekend should premiere a pretty big change for Team Fortress 2 on the PC, with maps, medics and more, oh my. Plus, it's good to see the MMOs strengthening their non-Warcraft niches .
