Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas Details Revealed

Thanks to Eurogamer for its article revealing many new details about Rockstar North's ravenously-awaited PlayStation 2 title, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which had first screenshots revealed during last week's E3 show. Hitherto unavailable information includes the setting ("comprising Los Santos (Los Angeles) where you start out, San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturra (Las Vegas), it's an epic environment allegedly six times the size of Vice City") and unorthodox new features ("through dozens of accurately modelled restaurants and other eateries, the criminal wannabe will be able to top up his stamina meter, and actually visibly gain weight"), with Eurogamer concluding happily: "We fancy that Rockstar North's dark and satirical sense of humour, and passionate obsession with minutely detailed gameplay will see us through many a lonely night in San Andreas."

Ever play GTA 1? It was a very revolutionary game when it came out (the "killer app" for the PS2)

Eh? Grand Theft Auto 1 a killer app for the PS2?

I think you've confused it with Grand Theft Auto 3.

GTA 1 was for the PS1, man. it wasn't a killer app, although it was a fun game. I think you're confusing it with GTA3, which was a giant step for gaming.

Did Eurogamer.net plagarize ?

This article was the feature of the June 2004 issue of Game Informer [the magazine].

Eurogamer's article seems to have almost "ripped" complete sentences, verbatim, from the GI magazine article [if my memory serves me correct; I read GI's article yesterday @ the library].

Can anyone confirm my suspicions ?
