Rejoice, 18+ XB fans ;0

I have just bought it for the PS2 tonight. Very interesting so far having only played about 30 minutes. The motorbikes rock, the voice acting is up there with Metal Gear and Eternal Darkness and overall it looks like a mint game. I am going back to it after The Simpsons :)

lol :P

Good point.

I've never played Vice City as you may of guessed :)

:)

But Vice City is a completely different game set in a different time period in a seperate area with a seperate character and story line.

I wish they'd include Liberty city AND Vice City on one whole disk (e.g just fly/sail over to each area) cause most people will only play Vice city due to the 'cool' new stuff.

From what I've read, the 'Grand Theft Auto' name will be used on the '3' and Vice City games on the Xbox.

Yeah cool.

Just need to sort out addresses then.

My Addy is [email protected]

I'll have Neverwinter Nights & Baldur's Gate with expansion-thingy if you want Deathrow & Jet Set.

PC ones I have and don't play if anyone else fancies 'em:
Freedom Force - excellent superhero RPG/action thing.
Mafia - have an extra one going if anyone wants it.
Soldier of Fortune 2
Desperados - a terrible, terrible Commandos 2 rip-off

I have Buffy & Quantum Redshift to swap.

I have several PC games to swap also:

Oni
Delta Force 2
Never Winter Nights
Soldier of Fortune
Baldur's Gate + Sword Coast expansion

I have a few more budget PC titles other than these also.

All are fully boxed with instructions, I would be happy to swap 2/3 PC games for an Xbox one.

The ones I'm interested in are:

Deathrow
Jet Set Radio
and possibly POW.

They should put that on the box, I'd buy it.
Well...I did, but I'd buy it even more if it had that review on.
