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.

    Why is slashdot always the last to come out with news like this?

    How long have we known that this game would be out on Oct. 26?

    The editors should go looking for news instead of waiting for it to come to them.

    I'm probably the only person that doesn't care at all about GTA. The game is worthless.

    In the great scheme of things, this is all quite unimportant. The real question is the following:

    Does it run on Linux?

    I meta-mod as Unfair anyone who mods up Pan T Hose for any reason. Is it not obvious by now that this guy is a worthless troll? Why do some people feel the need to help build up someone's trolling account?

    They had Gran Turismo 4 linked from that page too, according to Mothers Against Video Game Violence, "they dont go too fast in this game like...the ranchy Street Racing Syndicate." Mmmm, ranchy! She (they, he?) goes on to say that "Online play was what worried me though because playing with total strangers is bad but no there is none so which is good so buy it today!". I know, its kinda OT, but this needed to be pointed out.
