Gaming Simplified.
As I go with a friend to the midnight launch of Grand Theft Auto IV, I’m reminded why gaming is such a big part of my life…I love it, I play it, I want to work in the industry of it. And it’s just dang fun.

After getting home and playing for hours, I’m floored. Driving around the streets of Liberty City…just driving around…is incredible. The lights reflecting off the cars, the soft glow of the city away from me, the people walking around doing their own thing. Heck, I followed a guy as he answered his cell phone, chatted for a bit, and then got on the subway.
It’s the small details that blow me away…I never, ever thought we’d get a game so incredibly detailed in this generation, so real, so flawless in it’s execution.
And yet, I’m here in my last week of school before finals, and I’m going to have to put it away for a while. Gah.
So I only have two weeks of college left before graduating, and I can get back into the swing of things and work on Liquisity, etc. The GM Mag is coming very soon (no word on the release date, but “soon”) and if you haven’t already, swing by the YoYo Games Competition to see what entries are up this time around. The next competition theme is “co-operation” and I’m not sure if I could do anything like that…but, we’ll see.
Coolio!
DON’T RUIN ANYTHING FOR ME I’M GETTING IT TOMORROW ‘COS AMAZON SUCKS!
Anyway, yeah. Good luck with college and finals and whatnot. We know you’re too smart to phail. =D
Joe is correct.
Eh…GTA4.
Well, I love the beautiful music, the game play, the attention to detail, and just the general quality of the Mario Games (Super Mario Galaxy is my favourite game ever) and many others don’t. Matter of choice I guess.
But yeah, Good Luck with your exams!
I just wish they’d make such an environmental, immersive, realistic game where the aim is to hang around in a city and NOT kill people.
But it won’t happen.
Mmm… that would be nice. Although some plot should probably be there at some point.
Well, say you were a police officer chasing a counterfeiting ring or something.
What the heck you two?
Eh?
Eh?
