GTA can make you a better person

How to improve your life with Rockstar's crime caper

Words: Justin Towell, GamesRadar UK

Some of the most atmospheric moments in any GTA game are when you find yourself in a secluded area at night while the clouds roll in. Standing on a hill and looking at the moon (stop sniping it - everyone knows that Easter Egg now) and waiting for the sun to rise can be very calming. And although the graphics may look dated now, they're still decent enough to be believable.

If you can appreciate the beauty of nature in GTA, you can certainly do it in the real world. Try taking a drive out in to the country some time and looking around. You'll be amazed by the real-time lighting and weather effects. And the texture resolution is off the scale.

Above: Gorgeous though this may be, real life has even better scenery to appreciate once in a while
