They still have some old Gamecube and even Gameboy Color games for sale on their site. The Kubricks are funny.

Kubricks are these little lego-like dolls. They are so awesome. I had no idea there were GTA ones. here is the link(graciously posted by TheFleece). You can find Kubricks of just about anything, any movie, game, comic characters, etc. I actually prefer them to real live humans.

IGN gave it a 9.5
Apparently there we two glitches that caused items to disappear in missions but a system restart fixed them.

I'll probably wait a bit to get it and get a game that has the glitches fixed.

I went to the midnight release last night and came home with a fat sack of things, but no Kubricks

Here's all the pics fit to be seen: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thefleece/sets/72157615422002163/ I also have a mound of stickers and those tiny chopstick stylus sets. If anyone wants a pair just ask

I haven't run into an glitch just yet, I really really like this game. The amount of menus and information and how it's all woven together is just great. It's like an adult version of the modern Pokedex. I also checked out the wifi stuff, so far all I can do is upload my stats, but there are goodies waiting to be had.
I suggest getting this if you own a DS, there's no slouching anywhere in this game!

I think those Kubricks are hilarious. Like hooker Legos

Good set of picks. I wish I could have made on of the GameStop events.

The Kubricks were very funny looking, I was hoping to score a set for my desk at work. They also had a full on press party while we froze our balls off in the cold- Me being myself and about 30 people. I bet they had a nice multiplayer competition and gave some stuff away, but I had to be at work in the morning. I also got a shirt, which isn't pictured, it's black with the logo.
Yeah you can has!

Yay! Thanks Mr. TheFleece! Your my NWR hero of the day.

Wow this game seems to be getting lots of praise. I'm not generally a fan of GTA games but I'm considering it.. anyone played it yet?

SirSniffy · « **Reply #62 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:43:39 AM »

Holy crap! The Nintendo world store went all out I see...such cool stuff! I am getting the game this weekend, a lot of firsts for the Nintendo DS this year...first GTA, First Suikoden...I think it's the best console out right now(no offense Wii).

Well GTA1 and GTA2 did come out for the GBC and there was a GBA GTA game. The GBA Grand Theft Auto was mediocre and I don't know about the gameboy color games.

TheFleece · « **Reply #64 on:** March 18, 2009, 01:35:52 PM »

The GBC version was basically a straight port, but the music and sound were real bad. The language weapons and missions were the same, but there was a glitch in mine that wouldn't allow me to beat it. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone.

I've spent every free and waking moment to play and I'm having a hard time letting people know how good it is because I'm so busy having fun. It's a really well done game for the DS and if you're not really a fan though I'm not sure what to tell you- It's an uncompromised GTA that meets every standard from the previous games.

Basically, that's what happened when I got it earlier in the day, and opened the case.That was the fastest 3 hours of my life. Its cool that there's a map included, at least I won't get lost easily...

I haven't gotten into other GTA games since Vice City, since I felt overwhelmed by the shear depth of the follow-ups. There was just too much to do. But so far, its just right.

EDIT: If you haven't already done so, Jonny Metts has the friend code thread up. Put those numbers up!

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #67 on:** March 25, 2009, 02:51:51 AM »

The game is actually quite good though I find the people being as big as the cars kind of goofy, not game breaking but a bit distracting. Escaping the from the cops is so much better then ANY of the 3D GTA games, it is actually exciting when you are trying to ram the cop car into a wall in order to escape. Hopefully it is implemented in the next GTA. Can't say I'm overly thrilled though with some of the missions, the one I'm on I just can't get the motivation to finish (You have to steal 3 cars within a certain amount of time and drive them back).

Yeah, that one took a while. I believe after you fail a few times, the game gives you more time to finish. Part of it is planning, and a little luck. I found that taking the closest, then the farthest, followed by the middle farthest worked for me.

This game is a time-sucker. After taking some cab missions, and just roaming the streets, 2 hours went by.

The dealing. Oh the 'pharmaceutical' dealing. I wish they could've put Curtis Mayfield's "Pusher man." It would've blended well with China-funk/hip-hop vibe...

That is what I ended up doing, the side missions. The game is great in that it doesn't take itself too seriously, a big problem I had with GTAIV (and why I love Saints Row 2). Nothing is funnier then running over pedestrians as you are trying to "save lives" as the ambulance.

TheFleece · « **Reply #70 on:** March 27, 2009, 12:03:22 PM »

I really don't like that you can't access Ammu-Nation while in a house. Who goes outside to use a PDA to begin with? It makes no sense to me why Rockstar made this feature, but it drives me crazy.
Also I just want to say that my offer for goodies is only good for NWR Peoples and not sucka trolls. Don't bother writing me, you're just wasting your time

EasyCure · « **Reply #71 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:47:27 PM »

So this game actually turned out good? I was curious about it and i might take the plunge if you guys recomend it

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #72 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:52:53 PM »

Yes it did. At first, I was like, why did I buy this? Then I got addicted just like I would with any GTA. Running from and shooting this cops is real fun.

Hm... can i get a second opinion? I haven't played Skate It since the first time i popped it into my wii, and i wasn't too keen on Bully either so i can't trust Daamans taste in games

vudu · « **Reply #74 on:** March 27, 2009, 02:14:43 PM »

It's the best reviewed DS game ever.

It's probably at least half-way decent.
