'Watch Dogs' review: bringing a smartphone to a gunfight

"We are the modern magicians," one hacker quips during the opening sequence of Watch Dogs. Set in a fictional version of modern-day Chicago, one overrun by technology and crime, the game puts you in the role of hacker and self-styled vigilante Aiden Pearce. After losing his niece early on in the game — a standard and not particularly compelling action movie setup — Pearce becomes determined to avenge her death by any means possible. Watch Dogs tries to be Grand Theft Auto with hacking, but it's nowhere near as cool as that makes it sound.
