Hey Dennis,
That last link doesn't work for me, but I'm really keen to read it.
I'm not a big game player 'cause if I start I can't stop, so I avoid starting. But when visiting the family a couple of years ago my brother and I spent a few days conquering GTA San Andreas and I was really impressed. What makes it is the recreation of a pop culture myth of an historical period. I love the end, the LA riots!
