GTA has been fun, even if I did get beaten up on the street before I'd learn where the melee buttons were...
The Liberty City Public Radio is excellent listening.
The cars do indeed handle more realistically making high-speed cornering a bitch.
Oh, and while not driving all that fast, I turned a corner and discovered 3 cops cars blocking the road RIGHT THERE responding to an NPC generated situation. I couldn't brake in time, rear-ended one of the cops and then had to drive like hell as I was now Wanted. Not exactly an auspicious start to my criminal career.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Huh. So that's what "drives like a bitch" means.

while not driving all that fast
What, only 40 in a 25 mph zone?

Update: GTA is installing upstairs. I am pondering the user manual for the Mario Kart steering wheel (I'm not sure what's so hard about this -- you put a wiimote in the steering wheel. You turn the wheel. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes... it rains.)

Installing? Clearly amych has a PS3.
I just spent a bunch of time watching TV in Niko's room. Liberty City TV is as funny as its radio. Now I'm going to go drive around & see what I can see...

Indeed. In all its 1080p, Blu-Ray glory.

(With slightly fewer exclamation points, the character animation is stunning -- Niko walks slightly bowlegged, but runs less so. And the credits beat most movies I've seen in the last 5 years.)
