Just saw this thread and thought I'd introduce myself; name is Daniel
Haven't really been much of a gamer but always loved the GTA games. I think the original GTA game was one of the first PC games I ever played on our Packard Bell computer (not a name you hear anymore, lol). I was hooked on GTA ever since, especially since GTA III and then on.
Discovered this website back when San Andreas came out. Never really got involved in any of the discussions or anything but I would tend to hang out and check the boards from time to time.
Despite the criticisms of GTAIV, I totally loved it -- but San Andreas, maybe even Vice City, was my favorite.
That's all for now.
