http://news.uk.msn.com/Article.aspx?cp-documentid=999508 There is a line in here that really makes me angry: The lawsuit claims the game trained him how to point and shoot a gun in a way that made him "an extraordinarily effective killer without teaching him any of the constraints or responsibilities needed to inhibit such a killing capacity". How ridiculous is that? I have played every GTA game there is for hours each and I couldn't hit a cow's arse from 2 yards! Lawsuits like this are filed by people who don't want to accept their relative was mentally unstable before hand.

I wonder how good his driving ability was. > How ridiculous is that? I have played every GTA game there is for hours > each and I couldn't hit a cow's arse from 2 yards!

Like everything else there will be a nutter who latches on to something... hey, how come they didn't ban Catcher in the Rye after Lenon's death?

Ho-hum. Should see an upward spike in GTA-title sales as a result. All publicity = good publicity blah blah etc. All such accusations, instead of hurting a title, actually boost sales. =P Try explaining that concept to any invading aliens... > > > >> >http://news.uk.msn.com/Article.aspx?cp-documentid=999508 > > > >> > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > =P > Try explaining that concept to any invading aliens... I'm not sure about this. I haven't kept up with the rumour mill but aren't the makers being kind of forced to sell to the highest bidder to keep this going? Am I right that I heard M$ have got first shot of the next game to help pay for all the crap re san andreas?

Oh I don't know... it's certainly possible. But, since acquiring a 360, I don't mind so much anymore. Now: I truly & utterly hate to admit it, but I like both the 360 and what M$ have done with it ('specially Live, which simply rocks). Downside: some slightly derivative-feeling games (Amped 3, I'm looking at you). Consequently, I'll likely be playing the 360 version of GTA IV anyway, as opposed to the P$3ony one. GTA shall prevail. =) > > > > > >> >http://news.uk.msn.com/Article.aspx?cp-documentid=999508 > > > > > >> > [quoted text clipped - 78 lines] > Consequently, I'll likely be playing the 360 version of GTA IV anyway, > as opposed to the P$3ony one. GTA shall prevail. =) Personally I never got and never will get this fascination people have with pitting consoles against each other, and it's getting boring, specially when only one of them exists, but I do enjoy using my xbox on most things. This GTA pack though, as far as I can see only the first game looks better than ps2 and the cars look better in VC. San andreas looks almost like a cartoon, very flat. buttons are crap, it took me yonks to get used to the ps2 ones and the bloody xbox versions seem to change from one game to the next and not get better. I have also noted a juddering often in Vice City where on the ps2 all I had to worry about was the ground disappearing once in a while, xbox version seems to struggle often when the scene is busy or I think when Tommy is inside a building.
