PC - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - Grand Theft raises R rating prospect - The Australian The Australian writes:

"The (Australian) Government could approve an R rating category for the computer and video game industry by the end of the year in the wake of debate over the censorship of the contentious game Grand Theft Auto IV.

The Office of Film and Literature Classification ordered sex scenes to be cut from the game for it to meet the highest available rating for computer games, MA15+. While the sex scenes have been edited out of the Australian version, graphic violence and drug use - a central element of the GTA series - remain untouched.

Greg Bondar, chief executive of the Game Developers Association of Australia, said he believed the furore over the rating of the game had taken the debate to a new level that would force the Government's hand.

In March, more than two months before the release of the game, Home Affairs Minister Bob Debus announced a review of the games classification system to be administered by the Victorian Attorney-General.

A discussion paper on the review is expected to be released in coming weeks."

"Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes that the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 in the US during April, while monthly software sales hit $830 million, up 113 percent on last April's total.

He cited greater Wii and DS availability in his investor note as contributing factors to the systems' sales success. He also said he expects the PS3 to have outsold the Xbox 360 by 290,000 units to 275,000..."

PC - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - GTA a benchmark for design values An exhibition entitled "Love & Money: The Best Of British Design Now" is touring Asian countries currently. The synopsis is below:

"...Love & Money, organised jointly by the British Council and UK Trade & Investment, features twenty projects and designers that balance business ambition and commercial success with the invention and experimentation for which Britain's creative industries are internationally renowned."

Within the exhibition is a space dedicated to Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto Series.

GTA is considered to be a benchmark for modern design values. This is a very positive nod towards gaming and in particular one with such a criticized content.

Had this N4G member not have stumbled upon this showcase, it may well have slipped silently into the night. Here is a link to the offical exhibition page
