I myself have become a big GTA fan, particularly of Vice City. I suddenly thought to myself the other day, why do I like it? I mean look at the state of it, especially the latest installment San Andreas. The graphics are beyond crap, it is very glitchy and the gameplay can be very awkward.

I took a step back and realised that it is a combination of some very shoddy core elements held together by the less important things. The huge free-roaming element doesn't really compensate any more because it simply isn't the novelty it used to be. So please, why the hell is it still considered to be better than God?

I'm waiting for the Xbox version. Hope it won't just be a straight port, hopefully they'll adjust it as was the case with the Xbox Double Pack

I still like GTA simply because it's fun, and that's the only reason you really need.

On another note, I read about a game the other week, can't remember the name of it but John Singleton (Director of Boyz n' the Hood) is said to be heavily involved with it. It's going to be free roaming like San Andreas, and obviously set in South Central LA. It's due for release in November and I think it could well be a surprise hit, if only I could recall the name of it. Anyone know what game I'm on about?

It's a fun game with quite a bit to do that keeps me interested until the end credits. I like it but i wouldn't be rushing to put it into my top 10 games of all time list

Games aren't there for you to just look at, they're there for you to play.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
