GTA IV Car Named After Game Violence Researcher N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto IV
PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - GTA IV Car Named After Game Violence Researcher GamePolitics:

"A hybrid car available for jacking in GTA IV is named after a well-known game violence researcher, Dr. Karen Dill of North Carolina's Lenoir-Rhyne College."

The "Karin Dilettante" is a sporty hybrid sedan that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest installment in the famously violent and sexualized series of video games. "Chicks love electronic gadgets" is the slogan in fake ads for the car.

Ms. Dill says she couldn't believe that Rockstar Games, the maker of Grand Theft Auto, had taken the trouble to name a car for her: "I was kind of like, whoa, they actually do care about video-game research."

Why video games are the new entertainment leaders N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto IV
PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - Why video games are the new entertainment leaders Posted by Don Reisinger

After playing through Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, it became quite clear to me that video games have supplanted film as entertainment leaders. The game shines on so many levels, it's difficult to recount them all here. But perhaps more than anything, it allowed me to become a part of an environment that goes above and beyond anything I've ever experienced in a movie.

And after playing through this instant classic, I can't help but wonder if the video game industry has finally realized that it commands mainstream attention and must favor a new type of gaming that creates unprecedented entertainment value.

I'm a firm believer that video games have replaced movies as the de facto leader in entertainment. Games offer greater entertainment value, usually have better stories, and generally appeal to people far more than any movie currently in theaters.

"Grand Theft Auto" settlement dwarfed by plaintiffs' legal bill N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto IV
PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV - Lawyers who sued the makers of the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" profess to be shocked that few people who bought the game were offended by sex scenes buried in its software. Any purchaser upset about hidden sex in the violent game could file a claim under a settlement the lawyers struck with its maker, Take-Two Interactive. Of the millions of people who bought the version after its release in 2004, exactly 2,676 filed claims.

The civil lawsuit was filed after the disclosure of the sex scenes, accessible only to savvy players using third-party software, sparked fulmination in the U.S. Congress and excitement online. The suit charged the company with defrauding buyers by failing to disclose the sex scenes.

"Am I disappointed? Sure," said Seth Lesser, the lead lawyer for the plaintiffs. "We can't guess as to why now, several years later, people care or don't care. The merits of the case were clear."

Far bigger than the payout to plaintiffs will be the fees sought by the lawyers who brought the class action. Lesser and his colleagues at 10 other law firms have asked for more than $1.3 million - compared with less than $30,000 that Take-Two Interactive's lawyers say it will spend to resolve the claims for $5 to $35 each, or a clean copy of the game.
