* The cable cars on rails in San Fierro will be jackable and driveable!
* You can buy tobacco in the form of cigarettes in special locations, and you will be able to smoke it.
* The VW van will be called Camper.
* The Hub is the name of Cesar's and CJ's car garage. (known already)
* There are workshops for custom car paintjobs.
* To top it off, this magazine claims the blur effect for nitro (a la NFSU) has not yet been finalised.

# There are about 12 different countryside towns, each with its own look, style and theme.
# The Desert Eagle is one of the new weapons featured in the game. It has more stopping power per round than any other weapon in the game, besides sniper rifles.
# CJ can ride an 'industrial strength lawnmower'.
# There are many money-making activites to take part in at the countryside - rocky road races, motocross competitions and such.
# You can produce "unbelievable rolling bombs" with the 18-wheeler: Speed it up, and dive out at the last second, destroying anything/anybody in its way.
# The moon goes through several different phases, full moon, half moon, and so on. The moon and the stars appear brighter as you travel further away from the city lights.
# R1 targets your enemy. CJ will aim at the closest hostile. If there isn't a hostile in the area at all, he'll target the closest person. If there still isn't a target in sight, CJ will switch to free-aim mode. In this mode, the camera rests behind your character, and you can move CJ using the left analog stick, whilst changing the camera with the right. L1 now acts as the firing button, although Circle can be used when not using the new targetting system.
# The area to the left of Los Santos is occupied by hills and countryside.
# To the left of Los Santos, you can find a truck stop known as the "RU Haul". Always looking for extra drivers, the owner will offer you a cash reward if you can tow pull some cargo. This is done with a traditional 18-wheeler, the largest road vehicle in the game. The trailer is detachable, and the truck will change position, depending on whats going on in the back. Hauling missions are completely timed. So if they screw up and miss their window, their payoff will be cut to half of what it was supposed to be.

Reload Time: The more improved CJ becomes at this skill, the fewer seconds he'll need when reloading. This is extremely important when involved in large-group firefights.

Fire Rate: This skill dictates how many bullets CJ can spray in a certain amount of time. The better the skill, the more ammo he can unload in shorter instances.

Accuracy: When players improve this skill, the circle outside of their reticule will expand and contract for better a visual representation of your target lock. As always, crouching also improves the precision of your shots.

Weapon Stance and Movement: Each weapon has a different ability relative to that weapon type that can be unlocked. This means that some weapons, for instance, can earn the ability to allow CJ to move while firing. While others improve your character's weapon stance so that he has faster strafe speeds or uninhibited backwards movement when firing.

Dual Weapons: What Rockstar is calling "The Ultimate Upgrade," this skill allows CJ to handle two weapons at a time. This effectively doubles CJ's firing rate and length of time between reloads.

* There's a bulldozer which features rear wheel steering, and the front blade/plow can be manipulated with the right stick.
* Fire extinguisher can be used to, well, extinguish fires
* One other new weapon mentioned is a shovel.
* The cropduster plane we hinted at yesterday is confirmed. And there's a new pic of a bi-plane as well.
* One of the new bikes in the game is called the Wayfarer, which, according to Gamedot, looks like the Honda Gold Wing touring bike.

Nope, you can get it at best buy, and, well, damn near anywhere thats going to be selling it once its out.

The feature on the top of my list is that youll actually be able to spend your money on stuff other than just guns and bullets, like clothes, and ESPECIALLY cant wait to get my boy all tatted up.

they've had boxes covering the shelves in most games stores for quite some time now.
They're just teasing us, even though it's quite a bit off release!!
