I have felt a certain degree of angst inside of me the last couple of days. I can’t pin-point my finger on the reason but all I know is that I don’t want to ramble on about it in here. So now I must pick a topic to discuss…..something un-emotional and fun.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you….Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
People may say I should have grown out of computer games at my age, but the simply answer is no I haven’t. OK I haven’t played my playstation 2 for yonks, but if there is one game that can persuade me to blow off the cobwebs on the little balck box, its GTA.
The game is due out this Friday and so far the reviews sound very impressive. GTA is one of those games that goes above and beyond the call of duty, not simply offering an hour or 2 of fun, but a whole different world for you to check out and explore. I’m going to give Liam, my old playstation buddy a ring at the weekend and see if he wants to re-create the magic of 2 years ago. He and I were always in my bedroom playing computer games from the age of 13 to 19. He was round my house every night. We are both casual gamers and have never been ones for strategy games, we always liked the same games. GTA on both the playstation 1 and 2, kept us going along for months at a time. When I look back I don’t know how we had the interest, but I’m glad we did. Things faded this last year or so, he went to university and broadened his horizon’s, while I started work and college again. Since then I haven’t really played on the play station, I just couldn’t get any enthusiasm for it…..afterall who was I going to share my gaming achievements with??? The experience suddenly became hollow.
This Friday though, I reckon the incentive will be back, if only for a short while. I feel I owe it Rockstar to get into it again. They do such a wonderful job on the GTA games, other developers should take note. It seems unbelievable how I can pay £40.00 for GTA and get everything, while still paying that amount for Formula 1 04 and get absolutely jack shit.
I also want to take this opportunity to say how much I love Goodfellas and make you aware that a new DVD of it is out.
