Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch

Posted by Zonk on from the grand-theft-dating-simulator dept.

The first of this year's AAA titles has launched, and the first reviews are in. Gamespot, IGN, and OPM all have looks at the game, and it sounds great. If you want to keep track of the pool-shooting race track driving everything-under-one-roof extravaganza, the GameRankings page is available as well. When you play the game this week make sure and tune in to WCTR News to catch Anchorman Richard Burns, TV's Wil Wheaton. More seriously, reviews aren't the only thing the developers are looking for. Commentary regarding Take Two Interactive's slipping stock is available on CNN Money's Game Over.

    When did Wil Wheaton become cool? Back when TNG ran, everyone I knew thought of him as some loser. Maybe it was the character, but Wil Wheaton was never anyone special.


    Now whenever I see his name on Slashdot, I see everyone praising his hipness. Is it because he posts on Slashdot? Has a blog? Is a role model to countless nerd teenagers? I don't get it. Seriously.

    Judging by VC I'd say 9 months to a year for a Windows release, and a cold day in hell to a linux release ;-p

    Rockstar is not a linux friendly gaming company.. nor open source, I mean they released GTA *1* as freeware, not open source, that kinda says something, no?
