Another GTA Update

It was getting to the point that I was playing this game WAY TOO MUCH that I was getting headaches.

But damn! What fun! Never before in a game such as this, I have so much freedom to drive around (or fly) and do whatever. My newest addiction in the game is the gambling feature -- just go into a casino in Las Venturas and play a little video poker. Simple as that!

Yet another great thing about this game is that none of the missions are the same. I've already completed several missions (unlocking the whole map) and there's always something new. One mission in particular is that I have to fly a jet to Liberty City (yes, the city in GTA3) to knock off a few mobsters. I was thinking, "You're kidding, they put the city from GTA3 in this game?!" No, but just a small area that is familiar to GTA3 fans.

So far at my own little airport at Verdant Meadows, I've got a harrier, a huge-ass helicopter, a jet-pack, and a small little WWII fighter.

As far as the story line goes, riots have broken out in Los Santos. Sweet is out of prison, and I'm back fighting the gang wars against the Ballas. I'm currently trying to fight them off, gain as much territory for the Grove Street Families as I can while fighting to protect territories that I have already gained. That's where the headaches come in. I usually have to fight off 3 waves of attackers and they get stronger each wave. Luckily for me, hearts and armor are available when fighting, you just have to find them before they kill you.

I will more than likely play some of this tonight, hopefully I can get a little farther for another great update.

And -- if you haven't picked this game up yet -- GET IT.
