AICN Games: Monki is going to NYC to visit Rockstar!


Greetings humans, Monki here with a pretty freakin' sweet preview to an event I'm about to head to.

Quint may get to fly to Prague and party with Shia Labeouf on the set of Transformers, but I have received the preverbal golden ticket in the video game realm. This Friday I'll be visiting Rockstar Games in New York City to get some hands-on time with Grand Theft Auto 4.


If you've read anything else I've written about the Grand Theft Auto series, you know I'm a fan. Of course, if you've been around video games for the past decade or so, you SHOULD be a fan of this series. GTA3 pushed the limits of what a videogame could be and Rockstar has been on the bleeding edge of videogames since.

So Monki, why are you rubbing this sweet opportunity in our collective faces? Glad you asked...you see, while I'm up there I'm going to have a chance to sit down with Jeronimo Barrera, VP of Development at Rockstar. He's been with the company since the doors cracked open so many years ago. Anyway, this gives you, our loyal readership (and you talkback haters) the chance to send a question to someone behind one of the most important development houses of today.

That's right, if you have a question about anything Rockstar related just write it down in the talkback below and I'll relay a few of the best ones out to Jeronimo when I take a break from some Liberty City madness.

Also, that means I'll be in New York City this weekend, so if any of you cats have a way to get me in to Saturday Night Live this week (Christopher Walken is hosting!) I would offer you my firstborn. If anything I'd like to check out Barcade while I'm up there. Feel free to drop me an email if you'd like to join.

Time to get your thinkin' caps out and pound out a few questions, I'll be back next week with the results! Until next time, back up the tree I go!

-Monki
