Hey Robert,
I am a big fan of games like Grand Theft Auto (including the original overhead view one, Grand Theft Auto 3, VIce City, San Andreas) and True Crime (Streets of L.A.)
ON ocasion I play stuff like Smackdown, Dragon Ball Z and BLoody wars.
Pretty violent stuff and my wife thinks that I'm an idiot for playing games of this sort but I love playing them anyway!!!

I mean something like San Andreas is perfect. Especially with all the cheat codes and the possibilities. Just driving around in different cars and bikes is a blast. Reminds me of the days when I used to drive...
I wasn't as bad of a driver though.

Basically its the freedom of mooving around the city and doing whatever I want. Like running around with a flame thrower or a Chainsaw...
Now you must think that I'm nuts!!! LOL
