Didn't know there was a "trio" pack released. Good to know.

There was or at least, futureshop bundled all 3 as 1 unit for sale. No idea if it was their doing or plain released that way. This was for the pc, I do know there were xbox/ps2 releases as a trilogy pack.

(btw, I've yet to play vice/andreas, got bored of the theme from finishing v3)

Should at least give Andreas a whirl, its different enough to warrant it a shot. Vice is more or less more of the same as 3.

I will once some time has passed, I'm like that with games, some I've bought over a year ago are still unplayed. Depends which type of game I'm in a mood to play.

My favourite is VC, the 80's theme rocks. I looooove 80's music, and all the neon signs, clothes, cars, everything.
(apart from the threat of holocaust, that sucked)

San Andreas is much, much bigger than Vice City, with more to do, and more/better vehicles. The Harrier jump jet was the most awesome thing ever, especially fun to park it in your home street in the 'hood. However, the story and gameplay in Vice City was much more fun, and I loved all of the 80's style.

Their description is a bit vague, I'd tag it as a 'maybe'.

That definitely hoists warning flags in my mind.

...the question must be asked... when Far Cry can be had for, like, $5... without ads... why go ad supported? (I say $5, because I saw a copy in the bargain bin of a store near me for £3.)
