Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was my favorite of the series, by far, and that's no slight to Vice City, which I treasure. Still, there was something about C.J.'s adventures that made me feel like I'd lived the greatest summer ever. More »

We've seen a teaser of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City imported into Grand Theft Auto IV's visual and physics engine, RAGE. Another mod team is hard at work on the same conversion for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. More »

As Ubisoft today bids farewell to the printed instruction manual, other publishers will surely follow suit. I, for one, am a little saddened by this, as some of my best memories in gaming involve...reading the manual. More »

San Andreas is a harsh place! Gangs, drugs, violence. Very adult, very serious. Maybe it's time to lighten things up a little. This Doraemon mod should do it. More »

Microsoft are yet to officially announce it, but a listing has appeared on Xbox.com for the digital re-release of 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. We'll take that as announcement enough. It'll be the standard 1200 points, and will go on sale next Monday, October 20. For those left wanting by GTAIV's flat final stages, now's as good a time as any to go back to the days GTA games could get away with alien abduction sub-plots and jetpacks. More »

Not to be too indulgent here, but it's no stretch to say Grand Theft Auto is one of the few titles out there that rates the kind of visceral, first-time-ever memories that people usually have of events in the real world. The first song you heard on the game's radio, isn't it bizarre that it takes you back — just like a song popular in junior high — except it takes you to a place inside a video game? More »

As part of EGM's extensive GTAIV preview coming out in their April issue, the feature an interview with Patrick Wildenborg, the Dutch modder who was credited with discovering GTA San Andreas' Hot Coffee content. In the still choppy wake of the greatest scandal to ever impact the video game world, it's interesting to read Wildenborg's response. More »

This is definitely the coolest (and I think only) GTA cake I have ever seen. I'm particularly fond of the copious use of knick-knacks on the cake like the tiny cars and the fake money. I'm a sucker for an overly decorated cake that uses lots of little toys. The only thing that's missing is some tiny hookers and some blood. It's a well done cake, but despite the subject matter it is a bit on par with something you might see coming out of the local grocery store with the pre-rendered photographic icing. Although, the use of this cake for a four year old's birthday seems highly questionable. Oh, and that sound you hear is the head of certain Florida lawyer exploding. More »

Reuters is reporting that a judge has denied Take Two Interactive's motion to have portions of lawsuits filed against them dismissed, which could make it possible for the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas publisher to have a class action lawsuit against them see court. From Reuters: More »

Today, we've got the vid. It's totally great, except for the last bit, which retroactively makes the whole thing a lot less funny. Just turn it off when they do the live, on-the-streets report from San Andreas. More »

Pissed off with the ESRB for allegedly pinning Hot Coffee woes on modders, the administration of GTAGarage.com (leaders in the GTA-modding scene) fired off a letter to Senator Clinton, Assemblymember Yee, Jack Thompson and the ESRB. The letter makes the point that GTA's Hot Coffee facet is not all that different from other games with sexual content. Attached to was a brief note to the ESRB, which can be summarized as "find another patsy" for this whole mess. More »

Someone over at GTASanAndreas.Net is claiming they found hidden code in the PS2 version of the game that lets you do the pixilated wild thing with your in-game girly. The NOT SAFE FOR WORK and most likely faked screen shots show you character bumping uglies in a variety of positions, while directions scroll in an info box. More »

Sure, the Grand Theft Auto franchise features wall-to-wall violence, sex and drugs, but there s quite a message buried under all of that vice. Game-Brains review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas sees the game as high art, a satiric commentary on America s damaged morality and myopic world view. More »

The five boys spray painted the initials GKU on the buildings. They later told police their graffiti was inspired by GTA and that the initials stood for Gangster Kids United. How pathetic is that? They can t even work up a enough of a video game-inspired rage to kill a bunch of people. What are today s kids coming to? I suppose playing Manhunt would have inspired them to toilet paper their neighbors houses. More »

Four dimwit burglars were collared by a PlayStation 2 over the weekend. The men broke into a Texas home and were holding a woman and her three grandsons at gunpoint when Grand Theft Auto came to the rescue. The game started blaring This is the police! You re surrounded! and the crew ran from the house, thinking the real cops were outside. The police did, indeed, collar the burglars soon after. Good thing the kids weren t playing Karaoke Revolution—they would've had an all-night dance party on their hands. More »

Secrets of San Andreas is a diatribe about the addictive power of the latest Grand Theft Auto game sprinkled with a few interesting tips and tricks. You ll learn that gang members sometime spawn at the bottom of the sea, that death in a closet can transport you across the map and of a secret tattoo parlor. As much as I like the game, I just don t have 150 hours of my life to devote to beating it I m far too busy playing Halo 2 and City of Heroes. More »

GTA: San Andreas as after-school special? Maybe that s a stretch, but the game does have its own form of positive message. Buried under all of that violence, gang-banging and hoing is a light anti-drug motif. CJ may bang with the best of them, but he doesn t use drugs or like people who do and at least one radio station DJ is very anti-drug. Too bad they choose anti-drugs instead of anti-violence as their message: I d rather be reading about a group of teens found eating their weight in Twinkies than some angry geek plotting the decimation of his local high school.
