Vampyr & Game & BaB: The watching as opposed to playing with MGS4 does worry me. Is it as much non-playing as BaB makes it out to be? What about the visuals... are they -- excuse the term -- awesome?

Vampyr: I could see 300 being amazing. Have you actually seen it on Bluray, though? Is the video quality particularly impressive? As for Watchmen, while I think visually it may be impressive, I didn't like the movie very much. As much as I want impressive visuals, I also want a game/movie I can play/watch.

Game: For length I guess GTA4 is a very good point, and something I didn't think about when BaB mentioned Uncharted is only 8 hours. What about gameplay, though... now that it has been awhile since GTA4 came out and all the hype has died down, would you say it was really worth all the hype? Were the visuals awesome?
