Actually i saw it at http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/blog/article/8081/. But it's all words, and i thought it might be boring. So i just changed everything into pictures.

[AlexOC]

Thats quite interesting. Wouldn't think GTA IV would be first, apart from the graphics everything else is poor.

[dbgtz]

Urrm I'm sure Kojima Productions just denied the fact that it was $60? I'll try get a link: http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=7181

That's probably the exact reason it cost so much.

[jordan:j]

Hmm, it makes sense because those games have some very good graphics and gameplay. Unfortunately i do not play console games all that much. I used to play Halo 3 a lot though ;P

Fair enough but we're not 5.

[RatedRShadow]

Ya, but it will be boring without pictures.

[Suspective]

I didn't think that GTA would be the most expensive game at the end of the day, but hey. :P

[Jahova]

GTA is worth it. You can be satisfied for days on end with the game.

[Oleh]

Too Human was $60m+ Jeez, That game was Teh Sux

[Fez]

Have to consider how much music, celebrity voicing, licensing fees and copyright issues that IV faced.

I heard from a writer friend of mine, who paid a visit to Rockstar North, it's a whole lot more than $100 million.

Agreed, I never thought GTA IV woulda cost that much. I thought it would of been something like... I dunno, but something more worth it.

[GommeInc]

Agreed with this. The graphics were good, but the rest of it wasn't THAT amazing. Unless, most of the money went into getting designs for cars that exist in real life, and actors like Ricky Gervais? :P

Oh yeahhh, forgot about the music. It's the most obvious thing :P

[Oleh]

Music Had to be most of it, then the modeling then Ray Liotta (http://www.mahalo.com/ray-liotta), Samuel L. Jackson (http://www.mahalo.com/samuel-l-jackson), Timothy Spall (http://www.mahalo.com/timothy-spall), Garey Busey, Bijou Phillips (http://www.mahalo.com/bijou-phillips), Ricky Gervais (http://www.mahalo.com/ricky-gervais) and Katt Williams (http://www.mahalo.com/katt-williams)

[Black_Apalachi]

I would think that GT5 is the only thing that would live up to its place on that list (for some reason I'm assuming it definitely will) :L Although I am being slightly unfair because I wouldn't have a clue about the likes of FF.

[Smits]

I wonder how much profuit they make then/

[dbgtz]

I thought MW2 would be in this list, then again it is Activision.

MW2 is limitlessly less expansive than half of the games in that list.

Shocked about Too Human, picked that up for £5 and never played it.

GTA music shouldn't really of cost loads, and the cars (I would expect) to be modified enough so as not to cost full licensing.
