I don't get that effect at all ...

I've been playing GTA3 and GTA:VC a lot longer than you have, Juju ... even had a sportier car to play with when I started GTA3 ... never had the urge to smush anybody.

Consider this ... I've been playing first person shooters since they hit the market.

I've played a lot of them, including some of the really cool military simulations.

I've shot a LOT of people in the head in games.

Up close and (see the brains hit my goggles) personal, as well as from a long way away. Body count in the thousands. Perhaps even tens of thousands.

Actual body count? Goose egg. (at least as far as I'm willing to admit to)
