Rockstar was probably the most intelligent choice of a developer on Sony's behalf.

I don't remember there ever being a bad or even average game from Rockstar. Great titles like the Grand Theft Auto series and the Midnight Club series are completely amazing games which attract every gamer.

I only have high expectations for Agent, and I look forward to new information regarding this title!

Good on Rockstar after they screwed PS3 owners with the GTA 4 DLC's (and yes I know it was MS who paid them for exclusivity so I shouldnt really blame rockstar but I don't care since they had the option to take the offer or not.)

Back to the topic of the new game, personally i've had enough of games which portray any time other than the present or the future, but since this is Rockstar, the game should turn out to be good.
