Well, I got to play San Andreas for a couple of hours today because my girlfriend didnt come over. All i have wanted for the past week is to get some good sit-down time with the game. However, I have been putting the controller back down in under an hour and feel frustrated. In order to continue I must build up my swimming attribute, but yet the game provides no fun in swimming. It is slow and there is nothing to do while swimming.

This makes me wonder if I will be playing this game after the holiday season. If i am getting bored now and have no will to build up my only chance of continuing the game I dont know if i will want to play anyways. I havent unlocked the third city and money is still a big issue, plus the jerks took away my ability to "gang war" and I still havent gotten it back. Ugh!

I am now waiting for Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, NFSU2, and GT4. Those will maybe rekindle my love for free-roaming "violence simulators."
