Oh yeah, I'm just a newbie to Vice City (which I got for 17.00) but I'm hooked. You get your first person shooter fixes, though it's quite a bit different and a little hard to get used to. You also get brass knuckles, baseball bats, machetes, mac-10s, shotguns, pistols, Japanese long swords (can't remember the name), and a whole panoply of cars (and motorcycles) to 'jack.
I jacked a bus yesterday, was driving around blowing everything and anything out of mah way. I'm having trouble with this mission where I'm supposed to do a hit on somebody's wife and make it look like an accident... can't quite seem to kill the byotch, and when I do I haven't gotten away in time and when her car blows up, I get wasted too. But I will. I'll git her.
It's pretty cool. get a used version. I'm also working on Soldier of Fortune II. When I get sick of GTA I switch over and blow away some Russkies. It's almost more violent in terms of blowing limbs off & stuff.
katana, tachi, or no-dachi
well, I'm still conquering UT-2004-EC edition
And I thought the cut-throat viciousness of buying another railroad out from under an over-extended opponent in RailRoad Tycoon 2 was sinful (simulated greed).
I still refuse to ship grain to the brewery, except maybe one car, once in a while, for medicinal purposes, of course.
Soldier of Fortune II is great. I think it is the most violent game I've ever played; but unfortunately it also has some of the crappiest graphics of any game out there. They need to make a sequel to this game with a seriously upgraded look.
Vice city is awesome, but San andreas friggin ROCKS.
If you like first person shooters, try Enemy Territory: Return to Castle Wolfenstein. You can play online against other players, its addicting as hell...I played it for about 2 years!

Is it still Ray Liotta voicing the main character?
BTW, for now avoid "Battlefield 2." It's buggy as hell, and keeps dumping Xena's Guy to the desktop of his wildly souped-up game PC.
