Game #10 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Back when I first played this game I was stunned. After playing GTA III and Vice City I couldn't imagine a GTA game with vast expanses of wilderness and three whole cities. Well just 10 years ago we got just that. While GTA is also fun just messing around, causing chaos and using cheats to spawn jets and tanks. But a few months ago I decided to sit down and complete all of the missions without cheats or other shenanigans. Ever heard the song "Gangsta Paradise"? Of course you have, and that perfectly describes the story in this game. You'll meet tons of crazy characters all with their own goals and agendas who will sign you up for the craziests of tasks. All the missions I thought were great, yeah even the RC Helicopter missions for Zero, I had no trouble with those, and full of variety. It might be a race or chasing a train or flying a plane or a heist or in a gunfight you name it. Also you can swim, which is a godsend.
