Pet Rock: The Pop Culture Blog

By Adam Abramson

I grew up playing all kinds of video games. I still play video games on occasion. I've played the older Grand Theft Auto games since 1998, and they're all a good time.

But part of the intrigue to the GTA series is the intricacies of the video game. GTA San Andreas was extremely intense and fun because of the challenge it presented. I remember playing the game for countless hours, checking to see my progress only to find out I had completed 30% of the game.

Eventually I decided to switch it up and throw in Rockstar's versions of up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start. It was like getting a new game.

I've tried the reverse. I immediately found the codes upon the release of a game, and guess what? I never played the game without the codes.

My advice: Wait. Rockstar spent all of this time developing the game for your enjoyment.

Give it some time, THEN find the codes and shred away with unlimited health, or whatever strikes your fancy.
