I tremble at her beauty...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

11 pages of lovely, lovely, lovely screen shots from GTA:San Andreas.

Apparently it's 4-6 times larger than Vice City, taking something like 45 minutes to travel between the two furthest points on the map. Your character has to eat throughout the game, and this coupled with how active you are in the game (including visits to the gym) means you can choose to be built like Arnholdt or Rik Waller, and you have a lot of choice over your appearance too-not just clothing but haircuts as well, which is supposedly essential to gameplay if you want to infiltrate rival gang territory.

There will also be 'robbery missions', activated by stealing the right kind of truck and pressing R3 like in the other GTA games, and you have to be a stealthy mofo and break into peoples houses and nick their goodies (another thing of note is that the number of accessible buildings will be far greater).

That's just bits 'n' pieces I've picked up, and I honestly can't say how much of it is confirmed and how much is wild fan-wank speculation, but the screen shots look fantastic-the freeway shot gives a real sense of how huge the game could be.

I'm in love-oooooooooohhhhhhhh-I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her, If I tried.

Finally, we now have the first GTA:SA trailer:

Instead of clicking the download button, right-click it and select 'Save Target As', otherwise you'll never get it.


Hmmmm. According to the poll, 33% of people who voted are joyless kitten murderers.

It looks really good, and they have stuffed the game full of stuff too! I hope it isn't a bit overwhelming though...

I'm looking forward to Paper Mario 2 more :)
