Well, the much-anticipated GTA IV is being released in mere days. IGN.com has given it a perfect score.. the first in almost a decade! They also state that it is the best game since 1998's Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I hate to say it, but the PS3 looks like it's about to beat down the Wii with a bat.

Now, I don't personally like the PS3, but GTA is a fine series of games, so it's expected that GTA IV is looking to recieve critical acclaim. So what's GTA IV's only competition next week!? Mario Kart Wii, which is being called a step back for the series after the excellent Mario Kart DS. Ouch.

Nintendo better start getting more serious at this point. Zelda, Metroid, Mario, and Smash Bros. have all been launched (and are all fantastic), but it looks like Mario Kart Wii is the last top notch Wii game in some time. It's going to be one hell of a console battle this summer..

.. between Wii and PS3 at least. In my opinion, the Xbox 360 is having, and probably will have, a weak 2008. 360 had all of it's big guns released last year, and now it's pooting out dust, except of course for GTA IV, which leads back to my point. GTA IV is going to be one huge blow to the Wii. Can Nintendo whip out some good stuff soon!? We've already seen the excellent Smash Bros. Brawl, Okami, and No More Heroes so far this year, but how will Nintendo battle the second half of the year come this summer?

Will Nintendo win the battle against GTA IV?
