Hey cousin, Roman loves his American tit-ties!

Soul caliber is an awesome fighting game. But it'll sadly be destroyed by GTA 4.

Is GTA 4 any easier then GTA 3? I could never get very far in 3...

Um, hard to say. The game is made to be more grounded in reality than the previous ones, so enemy AI is improved quite a lot, as they use cover and take body-specific damage. The police are much more effective too, as to escape them, you have to get out a of a search radius without being seen for a certain amount of time. But you also get an improved targetting system, a cover system with blind fire and a slightly more improved hand-to-hand combat system. The detail also gives you more options too, as you could shoot an enemy just enough to make them fall down a flight of stairs, the tumble finishing off their health, you can take down choppers by shooting the pilot (which isn't easy). There are some pretty tricky missions that'll require a number of attempts, but I don't think to the extent of the other ones. The driving being made more realistically hard can hinder you though. Awesome game all round however.

I love the GTA series, and I shouldn't judge a game I haven't gotten around to playing, but... SoulCalibur II gets my vote. Link and Raphael have really unique fighting styles and they are an absolute joy to play.

I played neither but GTA gets my vote over Soul Caliber on the basis of series over series.
