    Life in America...

    "They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin

    That quote holds some truth to Niko Bellic's story. He's drawn to America to seek a new life of fortune, fame and "big American titties" after doing some bad things for some worse people.

    The game stays true to the past games in the series, while improving the cover and shooting system. Although they cut out all of the bits and pieces that made GTA seem more like a violent Sims game from the past games. Buying of real estate, improving your characters physique, hair style, hair color and the garages are all gone. They even made the game more realistic by removing jetpacks and flyable planes.

    The Europhia engine is just beautiful, it really is a work of art to watch your character or other npcs react realistically to their surroundings. Either it be walking down a flight of stairs, running into a pedestrian and watching him try to keep his balance by placing his hands on the hood of your car or truck.

    This game is overall one of the best games I have ever played, some may disagree but this is my opinion. It is a recommended buy for anyone with a PS3 or 360

      The Lost and Damned is a download available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, PSN, and for download for PC for $20, respectively.  The expansion, while still being an expansion, is an entirely new game with new characters, story, weapons, vehicles, activities, and multiplayer modes.  While there are no new areas to explore, TLAD features the Rockstar brand of storytelling that everyone has come to know and love.
