He's got jungle fever; they've got GTA fever

So as GTA fever grips the internet, I feel, well I feel unamazed. Don't get me wrong, the game looks amazing, the multiplayer wll surely grip Xbox Live and PSN like a gorilla does a banana, yet as the final trailer hit I got a great yearning for GTA:San Andreas.



The last, last-gen installment of the franchise, was no where near my favourite, but all of a sudden I remembered the casinos, the pool, the altogether cartoonish touch that made it my most played game on the Playstation 2. The way the new GTA is shaping out is great, I am sure it will be perfectly cinematic; the Scarface-esque storyline seems interesting, as do the stereotypical characters such as the eccentric, gangster black guy.

However I feel that there is a gap in the market for that all out fun, kooky open world experience; Crackdown was close to getting it right, yet it lacked a certain amount of polish, maybe Saint's Row 2 can fill the void.

I heard the most ridiculous rumour today; a rumour so absolutely enraging that I'm struggling to write these very sentences.

Hayden Christensen:


Is being touted to play Superman in the Justice League film.

The cast for this movie was never going to be amazing, but I thought that Adam Brody as the Flash was good, btu I feel that this is such a delicate project one that needs perfect execution for it to even be mediocre, that this would be an omen from the start; thankfully it's just a rumour at the moment, but as I've said above, a Justice League movie has to be done just right, and having an actor who looked annoying even next to Jar-Jar Binks is not a good sign.

Gt5 Prologue came out 2 days ago; I've seen a few videos, and a GamerTv special, and I think the graphics look amazing, but the city environments aren't the best I've seen,nevertheless GT is an amazing series and although Prologue does look like GT4 with this gen graphics, I'm going to try and get a hands on, check out the AI et al.

Finally Desktop Tower Defense 1.5 has come out with few improvements, it's still bloody amazing though.
