UK based magazine PC GAMER has reviewed GTA IV and it has received a score of 92 percent and been awarded their ‘must buy’ badge. Bottom line is the game looks great and the keyboard and mouse combination is effortless to use. There is the odd issue including framerate issues, but none of these are determined incredibly serious by the reviewer.

* Keyboard and Mouse feels effortless to drive with, there seems no issues with this combo in general (mouse obviously being brilliant to aim with).
* Wall hugging bugs from console has made it to PC – When up against certain walls or cars you still sometimes can’t always peak around to shoot which causes some frustration to the player.
* Bizarre decision has been made regarding multiplayer – You need to log into Rockstar’s Social club AND Windows Live to be be able to log into the game online.
* Game looks amazing with a Dual Core and a 8800 card. It did have some major framerate wobbles, “nothing fatal though” insists the reviewer.
* The game scored 92% and also got the “MUST BUY” badge.

Capcom have announced that Europeans will be able to download ‘Age of Booty: PSN’ on November 27th. Age of Booty plays nicely across territories (North America, Europe, and Asia), so EU gamers should find plenty of people to matchmake with right away.
