Video games are popular sources of entertainment, so what makes them so appealing? “The fun part about video games is playing them and testing yourself to see if you can actually beat the game at all,” Richard Stevenson, a sophomore English and communications major, said. So it is time to turn on that PlayStation 2, Xbox or Nintendo GameCube because these are just some of the newest and hottest games released.

“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” is set in a West Coast gangster’s paradise in the 1990s, according to Yahoo! games domain. Scott Fobes, a sophomore psychology major, said, “With GTASan Andreas, my friends have said it’s one of the best games ever made.” It is still the same format as “GTA3” and “Vice City,” including the profane language, drugs and violence, but it also has many improvements. It has a fresh new setting, the playing time has been extended and it features a brand new soundtrack.
