I know I am. XD

In any case, so we can have something to say other than how excited we are about No. 4, what's your greatest experience from the previous GTA games?

I looking forward to it. I need a good game for my PS3...
(although I still have to make do with a SD tv for a while longer)

My favorite experience...
Best experience was in San Andreas and taking an RV up to Mt Chilliad and driving it off the mountain. Then having CJ skydive out of it and miraculously survive his fall... only to be killed by the RV exploding on top of him a moment later. It was totally unplanned for and such a freak occurrence that it was too funny to forget.

No not really. I haven't finished San Andreas and haven't played it in a long while. I don't think I'll get another GTA game for ages. Not to mention, I don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360 yet...

The most freakish experience was in San Andreas - I was riding a Sanchez dirt bike from Toreno's place, heading toward the abandoned airfield, when in the middle of the desert, out of nowhere, one of those boxy twin-engine cargo planes fell out of the sky and blew me the frak up!

One of my favorite moments, though, comes in Vice City. Sure, Tommy Vercetti is a psycho killer, but you can't really feel bad about killing Ricardo Diaz, can you? And Lance's moment there, to the man who killed his brother while stealing the Mafia's cocaine - "Say goodnight, Mr. Diaz."

I'm so psyched for the game. They're going to have caberets and comedy clubs to go into (with real comedians doing their bits for the games like Ricky Gervais).

My favorite thing to do is with the hookers. I pick them up and take them out to Red County in the forest. It was suggested by a friend that I do that. When you're done, you kill them to get your money back.

Also: I take the hookers and jump onto buildings and hold them hostage as I shoot people from the buildings. I shoot the gas tank to blow up cars easily.

Definitely the first game I've been excited about in a while. My WoW habit usually keeps my desire for new games in check, but I'll always make an exception for GTA. Rockstar does such a good job with the little detail, it really ups the level of immersion. And say what you will, shooting panhandlers, gang members and rude people is such a great stress reliever.

I'll wait for the PC release. The $120 price tag for the console versions bites.

I'm with you mate. I'm guessing they'll be a better chance of ordering a version without the censoring being imposed on the Australian one.

GTA series never really interested me. I always saw it as tasteless...

So on a side note, is anyone going to get the special edition version?

I'm not. It didn't offer anything i liked. I'm just getting a regualr release.
