I don't play GTA at all, but I have seen my friends playing it, like, they played it on my room, using my ps3 and tv. They invaded my territory and played for hours and hours and hours... So even though I don't play GTA, I know pretty much what's going on with the game, really. GTA was big and still is. The first time it came out, it was crazy and I was wondering why people love it so much. I think people love it because of the open world environment and a lot of things that you can actually do in it. So, pretty much like the SIMS, although not as detailed in character development, but pretty much you can do a lot of things that you wanna try doing in real life but couldn't. I can understand that.

Now there is a lot of game with GTA elements: open world, you can do whatever you want, upgrade your weapon, and other things. I played INFAMOUS and it's a great game. And PROTOTYPE came out. Then DARKSIDERS came out. People can say that all of those games are different. Yes, they are, but they are alike. Similar but not the same. But for me, that's not good enough and won't do for me. I have had enough with simple hack and slash or shoot and destroy games. They are just different in stories and additional features, but are still similar in atmosphere and gameplay.

Yesterday my girlfriend asked me what game did I want for my birthday that is gonna be this 31 Jan. I actually had no idea! Like, I had all the good games that I wanted. I had DEMON'S SOULS, UNCHARTED 2, TEKKEN 6, INFAMOUS, VALKYRIA CHRONICLES, ARMORED CORE: FOR ANSWERS. They are the best of the best in their genre (personal opinion of course). There isn't any single game that I want that is gonna be released till my birthday. I might just ask her to give me the gift later this February and I am gonna ask for HEAVY RAIN.

Now you can pretty much tell what kind of game I want and enjoy. It's the revolutionary one, the challenging, and the originals, not the copycat. What games are the same or similar as the games I owned above? None in my knowledge. I hope that in the near future, game developers will be able to release more games that are not the same, revolutionary and enjoyable.
