SA has a really funny article today on the front page, I chuckled a few times, especially at the GTA: SA description.

Sounds like a Maddox wannabe. Some of his lines are funny, but it gets old real quick.

Sorry, but Maddox is not funny nor is he original. He tries to pull off the whole angst-driven mad-against-the-world routine where he is better then everyone else but instead of coming off as comedy it just comes off as boring rehashed dialogue.

While SA may have many articles that are not funny in my eyes every so often they come up with something witty. While sarcasm is at the root of many of thier articles they are still entertaining to read, and that's saying a lot considering how many of these "fake-news" sites are out there, it's defninitely quantity over quality.

Ive played it, but only once. I played some russian mission for SP and I played MP. I haven't seen AI this bad in SP, and the MP bore me after 10 minutes.

...how was CoD's AI BAD? They took cover, retreated to cover behind them when you advanced, peaked out from edges, never once not responded...I dont even know why he put CoD in there. Funny article, though.

As much of anyone says GTA SA is a cash grab, COD is no different. The difference is one bash grab is actually a fun game.

No the difference is you own one and you don't own the other so the one you don't own is automnatically the 'shit' one simply because YOU don't have it, so it MUST be the worst game out, because your opinion on games is infallible, right?
