According to Metacritic.com, a website that averages review scores, GTA 4 on both PS3 and Xbox 360 have an average review score of 100 (out of 100) each, an unheard of feat! The only games that have scored even close (considering pc and 360) is Half-life 2, The Orange Box and Bioshock all with 96 point scores. Could GTA 4 already the greatest game of all time, the critics have spoken yes...
PS3 Metascore 100/100
360 Metascore 100/100
Update: The 360 version now has a 99/100
CCG writes - "Winnie's Hole is a Steam-exclusive at the time of writing, but it's system requirements are extremely low. The game is only $14.99 on Steam, which isn't too bad for what it offers. At the moment, there are only two main paths, and I was able to complete them both in just about 5 hours of gameplay. However, there are a lot of unique strains, only around half of which I unlocked, so there is still plenty of replay potential just in what is currently released. In terms of gameplay, it's pretty fun. Body horror isn't my personal cup of tea, and the fact that it's poor Winnie-the-Pooh being taken on this particular journey is disturbing, but I have a feeling that's what the developers were going for. I definitely wouldn't recommend this to kids, but for more mature deckbuilding roguelite enthusiasts, this game kind of grows on you."
The endless expanse of the ocean is terrifying with or without friends!

and yet critics can be wrong
the game has issues... so of course it is not perfect
if it is not perfect... it doesn't deserve a perfect score
if it has a perfect score... it's because critics were paid off.
I'm picking mine up tomorrow after school!
No game can ever claim to be the greatest game of all time, (outside of personal choices), but 1 one game can be the greatest for a time and right now its GTA4's time.
The score that a bunch of critics give a game does not define how great that game really is. I remember Halo 3 got 94, so I bought it, and was disappointed.
Everything's overrated nowadays, which makes it harder for truly great and original games to excel, where the same old crap shifts millions of units day by day (see: Nintendo).
Metal Gear and FF 13 and versus.
