Kotaku has a small piece on the bit where Max realises he's in a game (from MP1). For those who think there is nothing worthwhile on Kotaku I urge you to read the post, then read the comments in the thread by a commenter called truthtellah.

There's a saying that goes "Every story turns into a tragedy if you watch long enough". What do actionheroes do after they've ridden off into the sunset and the credits roll? Live happily ever after? Not likely, with the things they've done and seen. Judging by the latest trailer(which is btw the best one yet, imo) Rockstar is really taking that message to heart.

First (Finnish) review I've read was really positive saying it's a best shooter in ages. Also mentioning that the cover system fits in and isn't the sole thing to do in combat. The comic style animations have been completely replaced by voice-acted cutscenes. It also mentioned that it has retained the feel of the previous games, but has less of that overly dark noir parody to it (which is a bit bad imo).
Multiplayer also got some praise.

Game Informer's Xbox 360 review is up.

Yeah, they're not a benchmark for anything except abusing 8 pt serifed fonts on a web page so much that you begin to bleed from the eyes like a particularly despondent statue of the virgin Mary.
I'm finding out more and more that, instead of having to skim some over-worked journo's hyperbolic cum-soaked paragraphs wrung out on the edge of a three-day bender, I'd rather read someone else's opinion on the forums, especially for the big ticket releases like this one. The only opinion that counts is the one right after the afterglow. Anyone picked it up yet?

Blooming adverts said it was coming out sooner than June 1st, I'm sure.
How am I going to find time to play this when I'll have Prometheus to fap over that weekend?

I'll be getting the PC version on the 29th when it arrives.

10 points for Sulphur.

It annoys me that there's a 2-week gap between the console and PC versions. They are perfectly capable of releasing all versions globally on the same day but they choose not to. Consoles are where all the money is but, if all versions came out the same day, I can't imagine somebody who was already going to buy the 360 version deciding the buy the PC version instead.
