Best moment so far watching my stepson Hans play GTA: San Andreas? Him, needing to get across town, driving half-lost through some unknown, sketchy neighborhood, saying “I gotta find a freeway.”
Just like the real thing. Yep, welcome to Los Santos*. :)
(* for those unfamiliar, Los Santos is a fascimile L.A.)
Damn the budget shipping option from Buy.com. I’m still waiting (and salivating) for my copy of GTA:SA.
We got ours at Target, where they seemingly had plenty of copies. Also got the strategy guide, which is just about the size of the old-school Monster Manual. ;)
Picked up mine at the Virgin Megastore on Sunset last night. Plenty of copies there. ^_^
I don’t know if I can wait for the Xbox port. Must…buy….ps…..two…..
Hey 5000, Gamespot rates it a 9.5 and IGN rates it a 9.9 (“I’m not going to beat around the bush. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the single best PlayStation 2 title I have ever played.”):

You sure you can wait? ^_^
Of course, NaNoWriMo is starting on Monday.
Curse my lack of clones! Curse curse curse!
Hmm… maybe a 50,000-word GTA fanfic would work… ;)
