Close, but the story with San Andreas is just superb.

Just buy the game new or get the DLC when it comes out. This is the "new" era in gaming, I don't like it either but that's tough. They must do something to fight against piracy/gamestop/ the reselling of used games or their investors would go elsewhere.

Grand Theft Auto series was always fun to turn the music off and pop in your own music (Original PS1 GTA anyone?). Any sports title included. Single player games with a strong dialog have to be fully engaged in.

I don't need remembering but I was wondering if anybody else remembers... Clock Tower

I was great for the day and I think I played it on PS or SNES, not really sure. It had multiple endings, great soundtrack, and a maniac with giant scissors cutting off heads. My old 10 year old self certainly enjoyed it.

I visit both sites, comparing reviews and soaking up all gaming info. I think IGN has better articles, but Gamespot gives better reviews.

Mass Effect took me many moons to complete just one playthrough, so RPG/shooter.

My Xbox 360 came down the the RROD earlier this year, but had a few months left on their extended warranty so they took care of it. My fat PS2 still has glimmers of life and it was one of the first few sold. It has survived parties and quite a few drops from my old shelf.

I like to know if there are bugs, glitches, etc in a review, with obvious flaws mentioned. Then I take it to forums online to see a regular gamer's persepective. Then you can decide if it is a rent or buy. Familiarity should be thrown in for all sequels, but if not enough steps to outdo the original game should add/take from the score.

I want to play Cars 2: The Videogame because I read it was like Mario Kart but with weapons. I also really liked playing Destroy All Humans on PS2.
