the original "Driver"? or "Driv3r"? or "Parallel Lines"?

the original "Driver" was pretty ahead of its time, and "Grand Theft Auto 3" took a lot from its free-form missions

"Driv3r" is pretty boring and a cash-in on the GTA series, it's insanely diffcult as well

"Parallel Lines" is a retun to form, but still no great shakes - it at least has pretty interesting missions

The original was okay for it's time, I do remember having a lot of fun just driving around San Francisco, splitting my time seeing how long I could get a police chase going, and how long I could be a responsible driver. The free roam was great, but the missions were kind of lackluster because there's really only so much you can do with the gameplay mechanic of driving. The sequel tried to improve on it by letting you get out of the car... but it still didn't make the game any less dull. I never got around to playing Drivthreer because I had Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas so the series kind of seemed pointless to me now. Didn't even know there were anymore games from that franchise until I saw a trailer for Driver: San Francisco, but again I have Grand Theft Auto IV plus The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.

I`m talking about the latest game "Driver San Francisco"

The last Driver game I played must have been back in the 00s, as since then the GTA series has pretty much cornered the driving game market.

Talking about Rockstar, I`m still playing LA Noire and really love the game with its investigations and driving around a 1940s LA.

Wow, really pleasantly surprised by Skyrim. There are a ton of awesome set pieces which I really wasn't expecting. That, and everything else.

What kind of character is everyone making? I'm an argonian who specializes in one-handed weapons, destruction magic, and light armor.

Wow, Skyward Sword is out now too...

And I just got into the Tribes Ascend beta.

I'm crossing my fingers for D3 beta too, lol.

Went with a Khajiit (I think that's how you spell it). There's no astro signs or anything in this game though, so do you just mean what skills am I working hardest to improve?

Coming out on the 20th (in NA), isn't it? Reviews are out though and it's doing really well. Alot of people saying it's the best Zelda game ever.

Every Zelda game gets rave reviews, the last instalment I thought was pretty spectacular but I thought it was let down by the big budget LOTR style and feel to it, I prefer the more straightforward classic Zelda style in general. Despite that though, I think the Wind Waker is the best and most memorable game.
