As the suspense builds for the sure-to-be-epic Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar Games has made the wait a little more difficult with the release of the fourth and final trailer for the game. If you think that game trailers are now more cinematic than their actual screened-in-movie-theater-because-they-advertise-movies counterparts, you’re right. This one even has a name two names: “Good Lord, What Are You Doing?” AKA “Everyone’s a Rat.”
Somehow, this trailer manages to impress despite (because of?) the blistering car chases, decontextualized gunplay, a moody soundtrack, omnipresent rain, flashy camera angles, misplaced humor, gangster-looking gangsters and strippers that seem mandatory in anything offered by the Michael Bays of the world. And on April 29, you’ll be able to compare the game to all other action movies ever.
Speaking of moody soundtracks, Digital Music News reports that users can actually purchase the music that plays through their in-game vehicle. Amazon.com will fuel the multimedia project, allowing gamers to instantly buy the songs playing through their stolen vehicle's radio.
