the game captured the essence whereas gta 5 kept capturing and letting go many times.

gta 5 had too much youtube videos whereas gta 4 was so fun because you had to think on your own because youtube was young and no tutorials. 

Welcome to The Long & Short of It Podcast, where each episode we review one of the games included in the MetaCritic top 100.
Our first episode we discuss GTA 4, how it has aged and whether it is still playable in 2020.

This week Laurence & Dan discuss the third entry in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series with THPS3. This is a massive nostalgia hit for millennials, but besides the soundtrack, does this game still hold up?
Editors Note: At one point in the episode Laurence says there is a secret level in this game that features a 'Kiss' concert, after reviewing we realised that that level features in THUG, not THPS3

This week Laurence & Dan visit the 2000 game, Final Fantasy 9 for the PS1.
