Hey Guys & Gals,

Just want some help in what I should choose for my GAD?
So far I think the following are suitable but im not sure what to choose:

1. GTA3
2. Maximo
3. Virtua Fighter
4. ICO

I am strongly leaning towards Maximo/VF but are there any decent games coming out that I may pre-order?

(Dont mention FF X - As its already pre-ordereD :D)

Also are there any two player adventure games out there which I may want to claim?

Thanks for your help.

I think i'll be goin for VF, I can get GTA 3 & Maximo cheap so no point claiming them, and also I like getting games when they are just released :)

In my experiance, ICO is probably worth renting before you go out and buy (or in your case claim) because it's only for some tastes.

I'd go with GTA if I were you. It's still the best PS2 game around.

yerr, I think GTA3 will go platinum around the time that this Miami add on thing is released - to sell it in a bundle pack.

That sounds logical to me, hope GTA 3 comes out on platinum soon.

Anyway I think i'll probably get Virtua Fighter for my GAD win and wait for GTA to go platinum.

Thanks for the feedback people.

much appreciated.

Doesn't a game come out on platinum once it has reached a certain sales mark? I think that's how it works anyway.

If so, GTA3 shouldn't be long now. It may have only been released last November but if you think about Star Wars Starfighter - that has been out a long time but it's not even looked upon to be in the same league as GTA3. GTA has been on top of the charts for ages (until MGS2 came along) so it must be almost ready for a platinum release.

Mind you, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm jsut guessing.

i think that you should get it now though.
it is a great game.

im sure you'll win another GAD sometime so then you could get the other game you wanted.

i dont think it will really.
