Very well put guide James and Sarju. Most of those games are strategy which I'm not far too fond of. But, since it's on the list, I might consider buying GTA:SA for PC. I have it for the PS2 already, but I'd much rather shoot with a mouse & keyboard. Plus all those delicious mods and skins ready for downloading like CS. :D
