Grand Theft GTA by Xbox
Wow. Did you guys see this story? Rumor has it (well, xbox.ign.com has it) that Rockstar is bringing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to the Xbox without the Grand Theft Auto so they can work around the little issue of PS2 exclusivity. Is that sneaky or is that sneaky? I mean, really, if you're going to do something that slimy, you should probably go all the way and call it Grand Theft Automobile or something. I can't believe that Sony would let that happen without at least a couple lawsuits. You can probably bet that there is a significant stack of dollars that is being shoved around to cause a publisher to so completely shatter its relationship with the number one console.
I'm not sure what kind of fallout we'll see from this. Maybe we'll see a very familiar female in a very familiar powersuit in an upcoming Xbox game simply called Prime. Or maybe PlayStation2 owners will be playing Knights of the Old Gang later this week. I'm nervous, folks, aren't you?

I'm not nervous, I'm excited! I'm all for games being brought to other consoles, the more choices for me, the better. Unfortunately I sold my Xbox a while ago, so come on Rockstar, bring Vice City to the GC!
And then, when they start porting the classics, we'll see that obvious Xbox hit, Donkey. Or, if old-skool adventures are more your thing, keep an eye out for that Lucasarts title The Day Of The.
