depending on the game rating i could see GTA4 surpassing Halo 3 sales especially as it is multi platform, GTA and GTA2 were good games GTA 3 and onward have just been superb, I would say the GTA series is one which gets better each incarnation.

I dunno, maybe I just can't get into playing the bad guy. A game like Crackdown is just like GTA in gameplay style, but I like it much better.

Killjoy :p.

I was referring to video games. It's nice to escape the consequences/reprecussions of doing bad stuff in the real world sometimes.


Which reminds me of an amazing scene in BioShock. I was just entering Fort Frolic, and I saw a couple first aid kits behind a store window. I thought "oh man do I need first aid kits", hit the glass with my wrench, and promptly set off a security alert.

Looking back, I think about how this is the first game where you are responsible for your actions, and your morals determine the outcome and difficulty of the game. For those of you who haven't played it yet, BioShock is worth every penny of the $50, rootkits and all.

LOL i did that too. Its also the only game where a lack of morals makes it more fun. I don't think i saved one little sister and that was the first one...after that those little bums got harvested. And as for alarms...they're laughable.

I saved every little sister :p.

The alarms suck when you're playing on hard, but even then, there's plasmids out there. I especially liked "security evasion 2" and "shorten alarms 2" :D.
