Edit - 8Gb not 6, writing is too small. Still loading!

Stupid work filter won't let me view reviews on gaming sites, but the Telegraph has a rather spiffing account of it, if you're in the same boat -

Royal Snail says it's been delivered - just waiting for reception to stop nattering and let me know it's there. 🙂

In terms of story, characters and overall "atmosphere" they haven't bettered GTAIII in my opinion, so i'm keen to see what this is like.

Really? San Andreas was much better (best game ever IMO).

Mine arrive just before the trip to the vets for the dog back home now and GTA V is almost installed.

See you next month for online folks no swearing on the forum or other rule breaking whilst I'm gone.

Lifer, agree to an extent. SA was mind blowing in terms of size etc, I still dig it out today for the odd blast. Feltlike ssomething was missing though. Missions far more memorable in GTAIII, IMO. It also had Scientist on the dub radio station 😀

Driving is very similar to Need for Speed series the R8 is great fun.

Oh and careful when pulling into your drive if it's accidentally your neighbours he may step out infront of you resulting in him being crushed against his house. Just saying.

Don't play on my PS3 much, normally just multiplayer with mates, but I am going to have to get this.

Only game (besides obvious COD) that's interested me since Uncharted 3

Do you like puzzle or adventure games?

If its the former and you like the Portal series then I can recommend

Quantum Conundrum from PSN - even the wife loved the game!

Get your rat out, my usual midget postman is off today which has meant the post has turned up before 12! Now just the 8gb install to wait for, see you next year everybody

Er, dunno, I like any genre if it's decent. I like intellectual content, which is why I liked GTAIV - the story was interesting. Infamous otoh was only mildly diverting in a run up and down buildings/zap stuff spectacularly sort of way, the story and acting was properly risible.

Currently over-gamed anyway - need to finish Liberty City stories, then I have to get back into XCOM, and I haven't even opened The Last Of Us yet! Ok so it was free with my console.

I think I'll rush through LCS and get GTAV though, the rest can wait.

Apparently there are local references in the game, such as the tram works. What else have you found?

Arrived about an hour ago.

I somehow think my other games will be gathering dust for some time now.

Shame I have to go to work in an hour...I suddenly think my cold has turned into full blown man flu requiring 48hrs off work

Is the mandatory install bang on 8gb? Or 7.5 or something. Just wondering because I have a old 8gig console.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but has anyone got an XBOX 360 or PS3 they want to sell that I could play this on?

Grum, I think a lot of places are doing refurbished s/h PS3s for ~ £100.00 now. Guy I work with was looking at some in Game for that price AFAIK.

Thanks Creg. Think I'd probably prefer a PS3 so I can use it to play Blu Rays as well but I will see.

Cheers Lifer I'll have a look. PS3 500gb bundle with Last Of Us and GTA V for £199 sounds tempting.

I've not really played console games since I bought a PS1 but I have to say that seeing all the trailers and reviews plus the £199 Tesco deal is making me very tempted to buy one and irritate Mrs R.

I don't usually have the time to play games for hours but having enjoyed a couple of the very early GTA games I should probably re-evaluate my life priorities.
