GTA : San Andreas Gone Gold?

Thanks to still_sick, who alerted us that GTA: San Andreas has probably gone Gold. From the Inside Gamer Article: "Arguably the most anticipated game for the Playstation 2, GTA: San Andreas is gold. In a report confirmed by Inside Gamer Online's own Steve Dotolli, GTA: San Andreas is finished and looking great. GTA: San Andreas is the latest in a series of Grand Theft Auto games that only became popular when GTA 3 came out for Playstation 2. "

GTA 3 Started it all?

Um, from the post it mentions that GTA was only popular since GTA3, I'd have to differ. I've been playing the series since it was first avaiable for the PC back around 98.

Here's the quote I'm taling about: "GTA: San Andreas is the latest in a series of Grand Theft Auto games that only became popular when GTA 3 came out for Playstation 2."

Also, here's the link to download GTA1, it's a classic game over at Rockstar now!

When I was playing the Sims, I got bored one day and tried killing a sim off. I put them in a small room with no windows, removed the doors, and waited. That was one of the most disturbing video game moments I've experienced, and I never did it again. GTA (and most games for that matter) don't carry the same effect. The characters, while entertaining, are not realistic, and their interactions follow suit.

You kill someone in GTA, they hit the ground and money pops out.

Kill a Sim, and you watch them suffer and beg for assistance, until they finally die in a puddle of their own urine. Then their family mourns them.

Thats a significant difference in how death is portrayed. Blood != realistic. If anything, the deaths in the Sims is much more accurate than just about any game out there.
