What seemed a little comical to myself, was waking up this morning having undergone a nightmare. What was so ironic about this is that I can�t recall the last night I dreamt of malfeasance, tragedy, and horror, and the first thing I want to do is blame it on the game. Although I do not have many specific traits of the game to castigate on, I do believe that the Grand Theft Auto series has a somewhat ample influence on our society. This is probably the most popular game on the market, and has kids even at age nine, absorbed in it. Playing a game such as this, every other day for say three years straight- How can it not lead to violence and corruption within society? I think while a young mind develops while playing such radical video games, it can also adapt to them, taking a big part in one�s mentality on guns, drugs, and sex. I only played it for three or so hours and have already witnessed(sleeping last night) the images it leaves engrossed in your thoughts.Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:10:33 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4147&iddiary=7761Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas (PS2) - Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:33:18https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4147I�m sorry to say, I don�t have much experience around video games so this has got to be one of the best I�ve ever played. Again, I haven�t played many, nor any, within the past six months of starting school, nor do I have much to compare GTA to besides 90�s games like Mario Party, etc., or this dormitory's favorite- Nazi Zombies. However, within the hour of game time, I experienced more thrill and provocation than I thought possible. San Andreas dazzled me at how realistic newer games can be. I compared it the most to movies like The Godfather and The Fast and Furious series. I loved the story line. Although I can�t relate the drug problems, gang-life, and other corruption to my everyday life, these characters are realistic. As opposed to �What can you do (within the stages of the game)?�, the question �What can�t you do?�, became apparent. What came very surprisingly to me was that the game didn�t include the cheesy dialogue I guess I supposed it would have. Although this may be the most enticing game ever played, there were still things I wish this game had not included. I noticed a great deal of nudity and sexual references that I felt made the game seem cheap and dirty, and although I thought the soundtrack for this game was appropriate, it didn�t at all excite me. I obviously stayed in the Los Santos stage but I loved how this game involved a lot of mini-games. This game intrigued me so much that I keep wondering who I can borrow the trilogy from.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:33:18 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4147&iddiary=7741
