I picked up Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at the local Best Buy yesterday, as they’re having a special where you can get one of the games from the “PS2 Greatest Hits” collection for $4.99 with the purchase of GTA:SA.

I’ve noticed that the anti-“popular thing” backlash is starting up in some game forums, where the common complaint is that the fifth GTA game is just more of the same. I wonder if these same people complain about Madden 2005 still just being about football.

From the short amount of game play I’ve had, though, it certainly seems like they’ve added more to the GTA engine this time around than even Vice City did over GTA3.

So far, thumbs up.

While I enjoyed the Tim Burton movies, I’m not a real fan of the rubber suits, especially here, with what looks like a black felt cape.

What I’m looking for in a film about the early years of the Batman is a hero who is young and inexperienced, untested and imperfect, without the resources and equipment he will obtain later.

I’d rather his costume be made of cloth, even if it covers armor and padding underneath, with a leather cape and cowl. Not only does this reflect the idea of a more vulnerable young hero, it also implies a much faster and energetic range of movement one would expect of the Batman in the prime of his youth.

Give me Sandy Collora’s Batman over yet another Tim Burton rubber Batman:
