Grand Theft Auto IV
Among the many criticisms leveled against the Grand Theft Auto series are complaints that it is misogynistic. This judgment typically stems from the oft-heard "have sex with a hooker and then kill her to get your money back" complaint.
But a video review on lesbian site AfterEllen looks at GTA IV from the gay woman's perspective and finds it not so bad. Or, at least, an equal opportunity insult to both sexes since all of the guy characters portrayed in the game are lowlifes.
As one of the reviewers, Tracy, explained it to GamePolitics in an e-mail:
The review looks at the political satire in GTA IV and came as a shock to many readers since it didn't simply jump on the GTA = evil bandwagon. We run a lesbian video gaming site and received many emails and comments about how well-rounded our review was and how it made people rethink the GTA IV political debate.

Ricky Gervais has revealed the thought process behind his cameo stand-up role in GTA IV, stating that he chose to pick on fat people in his Liberty City performance because it's a "universal" theme.
"It had to be sort of, like, quite universal, because it's played all around the world. So, no parochial cultural references," Gervais told MTV in an interview. ...

During a one-on-one interview with Itagaki in London last Friday, Team Ninja's main man offered his thoughts on Grand Theft Auto IV. "I think it's made extremely well and is a fun game," he said.
"People always use that as an example of violence in games. But I don't think there's anyone who takes their job as seriously as the guys who make that game. You only have to look at all the detail in there."

The blood battle between Grand Theft Auto 4 and Ocarina of Time has been comparable to a ping-pong battle, except with some added controversy. Apparently, a review was removed/changed from the reviews aggregator Game Rankings, which caused Ocarina of Time to drop to the position of third best game ever. For now, however, the title is back on top, barely ahead of the two versions of GTA4. The war between Grand Theft Auto 4 and Ocarina of Time is sure to continue on for awhile. Then again, does it really matter considering they're both great games?» Read More

A deadline for Take-Two Interactive Software shareholders to agree to a buyout by video game giant Electronic Arts has passed with neither firm commenting on the takeover bid's fate.
EA took its two-billion-dollar offer directly to Take-Two shareholders after the board of directors rejected the bid, saying it undervalues the company behind blockbuster video games including the hot "Grand Theft Auto" franchise.
EA set Friday as the expiration date for its offer to buy shares of Take-Two stock for 26 dollars each. Take-Two shares were priced slightly above that amount in after-hours trading.
"There is nothing going on right now," Take-Two spokeswoman Meg Maise said when asked about the status of the bid Friday afternoon. "It is in (EA's) court."

NPD's April videogame sales data didn't show the rise in PS3 and Xbox 360 sales that some commentators had predicted GTA IV would drive, but a hardware sales boost may well be evident in May, according to a number of analysts.
It had widely been predicted that the release of Grand Theft Auto IV would drive Xbox 360 and PS3 adoption but that appeared not to be the case in April, during which time sales of Microsoft's 360 dropped from 262,000 units in March to 188,000, and PS3 sales fell from 257,000 units to 187,100.
Reacting to the April sales figures in an investor note on Friday, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter expressed surprise.

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."
