 ==== Condo ==== ==== Condo ====
-Instead of creating a boring "main menu" screen like most games, we wanted to shoot for ultimate immersion by making the main menu part of the game world.

You can also highly customize your condo just like you can with your casinos. Walking out of the front door will take you to a town square somewhere in the city. +When loading into the game, you find yourself in your condo by default.

 +===== Bars =====

 +===== Overall Monthly Ranking =====
