Whatever its called. GTA4, Vice City, etc.. I own it, I play it, and I love it.

I *LOVE* this game.

If I wasn't busy as hell, I would be locked in some dark room right now playing this game.

Yes! I feel I should be going off on some long rant about GTA. But the words to praise this fine game just elude me. I'm not a poet.

Damnit. Full immersion VR needs to happen.

I have to say I sympathize with the person in this article. I got GTA recently, played it for about 30 minutes. Started a random brawl on the street and eneded up in a gun battle with the cops.

Then I had to drive to the store. It was only my respect for human life that held back the extreme urge to run all the red lights and kill a few pedestrians. Oh, I came so close...

Conclusion: Video Games are BAD BAD BAD for you. You should watch TV instead.

After you have about a good 72 solid non-stop hours of gameplay under your belt, you start to become a god of distruction and death.

As a friend of mind recently put it, GTA makes you "size things up differently."

No way. I have yet to come across a better outlet for general rage then GTA. Its the bomb diggity. And technically, you are watching TV while playing GTA. So your jest is in part, invalid. Phbtt.

btw.. The missions in the new GTA are alot better then GTA3. In partiular, I like how I pretty much go around slowly buying the town. Any game that lets me own my very own strip club, is a-ok in my book. Beats the hell out of the lemonaid stand my iic gave me..
