I’m getting tired of using the word wait, but that’s all we seem to be doing around here....

The popular PC/PS2/Xbox game is coming to the Gameboy Advance this fall. DRIV3R is a free roaming action game that covers over 30 miles of streets in 25 missions. Good to hear the GBA still has developers making games for the system. How much longer do you think it will hold up?[Source: IGN]
