San Andreas

1. The next game in the Grand Theft Auto game series. It is a satire of California set in the early 1990's. You play as Carl "CJ" Johnson, a black man from Los Santos (Los Angeles) who returns back to his home city to attend his mother's funeral. However, CJ is dragged back into the gang life that he tried to run away from 5 years earlier. Players get to visit the aformentioned Los Santos, as well as San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturra (Las Vegas, which technically isn't in California, but Rockstar Games felt obliged to include it, if only to shut up the assholes who wanted the next GTA to be in Vegas), as well as all the backcountry in between. Many improvements have been made over Vice City, the last GTA game such as improved graphics and targeting, a much larger play area, more character customization options, and at long last, the ability to swim. GTA: San Andreas is bound to blow every game that copied the last two games right out of the water. 2. A fault line that runs beneath the state of California. It is responsible for all the devastating earthquakes that have rocked California for the last several million years.
