We could say that those who live by the jemmy, crowbar and balaclava die by the jemmy, crowbar and balaclava. But we won't because even Rockstar, those riders of the gaming crime wave, have become the latest victims of pilfering software pirates.

No-one seems sure of the origin of the leak but today ... » Read More

GTA San Andreas factsplosion

PS2 News | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

So. Now we know. San Andreas is NOT Los Angeles, it's a whole state. Los Santos, on the other hand is, to all intents and purposes, LA. The game's two other cities, San Fierro and Las Venturra are based on San Francisco and Las Vegas respectively. There'll be countryside between the three main areas, each of which is roughly the same size as the whole of Vice City. Big, in other words. Overall, the game will be an incredible four to six times the size of its predecessor.Main character Carl ... » Read More

GTA: San Andreas - first shots!

PS2 News | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

It's a direct reflection of GTA's massive impact that the release of three screenshots can shoot it straight to the top of the E3 agenda, despite the fact that it's not actually due to be on the show floor. The shots confirm a Latino slant, and suggest at least two new gameplay wrinkles - drive-by shootings (perhaps in an on-line gang co-op? We can dream), and stupid little bicycles.More reaction and analysis as it ... » Read More
