it'll sell more on controversy that actually being any good., as with manhunt.
doesnt look like a very long game, and wouldnt seem to have the longterm play you can have with a gta game where you can just drive around killing people.

Cuase it was a good game.
I dunno, wasn't THAT violent compared to oh.... Soldier Of Fortune 2? You could shoot arms and legs off, there are bones sticking out, you could cut skin from people's faces etc.
Agreed on the blurry story part. what's the jist/goal of it? Is it just "i'm stuck here and i've got some chips on my shoulder so i'm setting the world right" or?
I'm loving how controversial this game is, it exposes the hypocrisy and stupidity of the anti-gaming lobby. We're looking at a game with no serious violence, no death, nothing close to the levels of violence we'd expect from, for instance, Battlefield 2142 or America's Army, and yet people are raising a stink. It's a virtuoso gambit from Rockstar. The people expected controversy and it's not even an 18 certificate. Keith Vas and Patricia Hewitt can blow this out their arse. :D
a report stating that Dixon Stores Group (the company behind PC World, Currys and Currys.digital) would not sell the game in any of its stores.
I've noticed that it's been banned from stores that people wouldn't trust their cats with, let alone a broken PC. Half-life 2 was £35 quid last time I checked in PC World.
Those antifun people are stupid. I never would have given this game a second glance if not for the controversy. now Im quite interested to know if theres a pc version coming since i dont have a ps2. though i could live without the hot boy on boy action but maybe thats just me.

What, it's not like kids aren't exposed to blood, gore, and death...
First time I saw blood I was 4. Gore was 8, and death was 12. Sex was 17, and honestly, I think that is the only part of anything that gets the 'hot button 18 only' response.

Bah, that's exactly when you kick 'em hardest. Hasn't being ambushed and backstabbed in video games taught you anything? :D
And I never had any loading times longer than 2 or 3 seconds in san andreas. :D
And yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Bully in the US still.
It's latin for Dog Eat Dog. They should really teach latin in schools again.
Come to think of it, Canis Canem Edit might not be half bad of a name, in present company... :(
