This Day in Gaming 🎂
Before we dive into today’s hot deals, let’s celebrate a milestone! We’re firing up the virtual lowrider to toast to the 21st birthday of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a PlayStation 2 masterpiece that redefined open-world gaming, blowing past its predecessor, Vice City, to deliver unprecedented freedom and chaotic opportunities.
I vividly remember its launch – my jaw hit the floor! Its ’90s West Coast vibe, incredible soundtrack, and groundbreaking RPG-lite systems (like hitting the gym, gaining weight from too many burgers, and gambling) captivated gamers everywhere. While some elements might feel a bit clunky now, Rockstar’s audacious vision truly delivered one of gaming’s most daring and cherished sequels.
