May I just say, the release date for GTAIV being so close to exams is a cruel cruel thing. We have had to establish a house pact not to buy the game untill afterwards, because it will kill us.
I'm in the middle of a chemistry coursework piece (which I haven't actually started yet despite the deadline being a week wednesday) and i am still going to get it 
They did it on purporse, honest to God.
Don't they all do this? Hell, why not release the good games in the summer, when most of us have more time to play them?
the majority of the best games are released in october and november, since it lines them up for holiday sales. tho the trend may be shifting, seeing as GTA4 and MGS4 are getting more summery releases.

Because it would be better to release them before summer break. That way, you can play games all through the summer instead of only part of the summer.
You want to know what REAL cruel torture would be? You get the game home, you open the case, you burn through the instruction manual, you put the disc in the system, hit play, watch for the opening credits to unfold and...
"NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP"
THAT would be cruel.
i am so making a game like that now
Do it.
It'd make an awesome prank for April Fools', anyway.
You boot up GTA4 to go "explore" Liberty City some more, but instead of the usual intro sequence, you're immediately RickRoll'd. And you can't skip it. You have to watch the full thing before you can play.
Awesome.

Sorry? I must have misheard you... Instruction manual? What is that? Is that some kind of girly toy?
it's the little booklet of free toilet paper they package with every game
And yet, manages to increase the relative worth of the game it belongs to on ebay by about 10 percent.
tis a conundrum

It's that thing you read for the credits page so you can go "Oh hey, *blank* was in this game? I THOUGHT I heard their voice!"
You mean it's that scene you see at the end of the game? The one that nobody pays attention to?
Going back to the original topic i have to admit 2 nights in a row of nonstop online action has left my chemistry coursework a little...unfinished
