I made this last Thursday, but didn't have a chance to post it then since I was pretty much unexpectedly rushed up to Vermont from Friday to Sunday. Anyways, this is a little mod, well, pretty much a couple of videos for The Sims 2, that let your sims play Vice City, on their PC, or that weird funky console.

You can download it here. Instructions, and details included.

This month's issue of Official Playstation 2 Magazine from the Netherlands featured a nine page exclusive on San Andreas, with a whopping 26 screenshots, some of which are brand new. There's a number of small pieces of new information, mainly pertaining to the abilities CJ will have. We'll have screenshots online later today. Until then, check out the scans that our friends at GTAXclusive have posted on their site.

Big thanks to Mike for bringing this to my attention.

When Rockstar revealed yet more character artwork on Saturday with the launch of the San Fierro section on the site, it became clear that two of Vice City's lesser known characters are to return. Jethro (voiced by John Zurhellen) and Dwayne (Navid Khonsari), worked at Vice City's boatyard, and appear to play a similar role in San Andreas. The scale of their part remains unknown, but voice actors are likely to return.

Thanks to Dresta315 for his news sumbission!

Just a small update this time. We've managed to find out a few minor tidbits that sprung from this weekend's site update over at the official San Andreas site.


Firstly, and probably most interestingly, is the Kincaid Bridge, shown above in a tiny screenshot, which is all Rockstar have revealed of it so far. The real version is a fantastic feat of engineering, named the Forth Rail Bridge, which spans the River Forth, between Edinburgh and Fife, in Scotland, close to Rockstar North's offices. Its purpose? Rail travel! Hop on one of San Fierro's dusty trains and take it right across into the unknown that is the North East of the San Andreas gameplay area, which includes Las Venturas and the wide open desert which we know nothing about).

Secondly, one of San Fierro's hippy district's posters shows the catchphrase Brown Streak Railroad will be using to get people on their trains and across the Kincaid Bridge. "Go For The Brown" is slipped out in one of the videos tucked in the official site. This screenshot shows the billboard well.

Finally, we've got a very revealing screenshot also from the Camper video on the official site. In San Andreas, Juank Air will be "Flying with the personal touch". (You thought the name was dirty!)

Spotted anything else in the movies you think we should know about? Tell us about it!

Here's something I somehow missed - A short video on the official
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas site, showing off a new possible side mission, Carl dressed up, and parking a red car where he is told to.



Also, when you see him get in the car, 'SF-UR' appears at the top, as the possible radio station.

Again, to watch the actual video of this, head on over to Rockstar Games' official GTA:SA site, at www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas

Thanks to Quicktrip and Jose for the info.

This is an awesome Carl Johnson skin for Vice City. Although the face isn't perfect, the body is excellent. Another plus is that all the cut scenes will be changed accordingly as well. Also, the screenshot is just... magnificently done!

Today, we can reveal that the actor voicing Carl Johnson in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be none other than Young Maylay, an up-and-coming musician from Los Angeles. Speaking exclusively to Official Playstation 2 Magazine USA, Dan Houser, director of the game described Maylay's voice as "powerful". The same article from the magazine also features an interview with Maylay himself, where he was asked how he came to be involved with the game.

We look forward to hearing more about Young Maylay, who's certainly looking like he's got a bright future ahead of him. A huge thanks to kilik for providing access to his magazine.

Important Note: Someone successfully managed to spoof a Rockstar email address and sent us a very comprehensive 'Q&A' and 'Voice Actor List'. I rushed these online, only shortly later discovering their lack of authenticity. We're working on a solution to make sure we don't deceive visitors again, although we are certain that Young Maylay will be voicing CJ.

This mod will change your MAC 10 machine gun into an MAC 10 machine gun with a extra clip taped on to it for easy reload as seen in the end of the latest San Andreas trailer.

If you head on over to www.planetgta.com, you'll see a post about a rather large, Question and Answer round at a topic in GamePro's forums, ( Click here to view it ). That topic holds some really awesome responses. Stuff like, 'I did see some basic NPC to NPC interactions. For example, in L.S we saw two groups of gang member bump into each other. They gave each other hugs and elaborate hand shakes. Just like real life.....'.

Search (ctrl+F) for 'Chris Stead' in that topic, to read just the answers.

This mod will change your Flame Thrower into a can of Krylon spray paint.
