You are against games like GTA? I think they are a very healthy way of allowing people to experience things, you would never want them to do in real life.
FUN AS HELL!
Although I hav enot play this new game, I will stand up for ultra violent games. |

John is right
While Grand Theft Auto 3 may have revolutionized free-roaming games in a way; it's main claim to fame was the lame like "ooohh! i can beat the out of a cop!" and "look at this! i'm having sex with a hooker!!". When it came to actual GAMEPLAY, it was moderate at best. Then Vice City and San Andreas came out...both of which didn't improve the GAMEPLAY at all, but instead allowed you to do more trivial bull. They still featured the same stiff controls, bad pacing, etc.
Whatever...
...
Good games, in my opinion, are games that suck you in from beginning to end. Games that are more like an independent movie; artistic, with attention to even the most minute detail. Games like ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime...games that truly refine their genre, and take it to the next level. |

I dont think I have ever had sex with a hooker, in the game, or real life, lol. And beating cops isnt even the half of the game.
Honestly, the best part of the game to me, is having a huge city, and being able to drive fast cars, and bikes. If i feel like causing some mayhem along they, great! The points your quoted are just the attention grabs, and there for shock value.
It is still primarilly a driving + shooting game. It still focus' mainly on driving, which is my favorite part. These games allow you to do a lot, see a lot, thats the whole point. |

Games like GTA ruined the video game industry. The game engine itself has nothing to do with video games and take no skill to play. It's all sold by it's violence and moronic missions.
There are some games out there left that take you to the next level ... such as Metal Gear - 1,2,3, Castlevania, Final Fanstay, GT, Resident Evil, Megaman and especial the new ver. of Contra.
First problem that ruined the video game industry was high powered consoles, too much nice graphics and lack of gameplay. Now, moronic unskillful games like GTA and etc ... they would must like keep making selling these type of games, due to this new generation of gamers. |

GTA - recycled idea, recycled engine, recycled physics, recycled gameplay. The game has its upsides....well, one upside really, and that being that it is a completely free-roaming game, however, pretty much everything else about it comes up quite short, especially everything released after GTA3. I'm afraid that those games, as mentioned, did nothing to evolve the series, but just threw it further into mainstream mediocrity.
Games, like movies, have become completely diluted. Nary is there a product left that is actually GOOD. So few are left that are inspiring, original, captivating, and executed well. With this next gen of consoles, all we're getting is flashier graphics, but really the same old game as before.
As for the 50 cent game, I got very very angry watching the commercial. We know the typical person whom this game appeals to; need I say anything else about it. |

50 Cent In Da Books
by Josh Grossberg
Nov 15, 2005, 10:10 AM PT
For 50 Cent, reading is fundamental--and apparently the latest step toward world conquest.
The rap superstar is parlaying his gangsta past into G-Unit Books, a new line of hip-hop novellas and graphic novels that will feature members of his G-Unit posse--Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo and Olivia--as characters. (Sidekick turned nemesis the Game, last seen sporting "G-U-Not" shaved in his head, apparently won't be lionized in the literature.)

The street fiction series from Pocket/MTV Books will "tell the truth about 'The Life': the sex, guns and cash; the brutal highs and short lives of the players on the streets," per the publisher's press release.
Nikki Turner, author of The Glamorous Life and A Hustler's Wife will write the first Fiddy-inspired life-in-the-hood novella, due in bookstores in 2007.
"50's always been a voracious reader, whether street fiction by Donald Goines...or business books, and he's always felt like getting books out into the community that reflect the lifestyle and also encourage people to read," the hip-hop star's agent, Marc Gerald, tells E! Online.
The book deal arrives on the heels of 50 Cent's autobiography, From Pieces to Weight, which has sold more than 40,000 copies since its Aug. 9 release, according to Nielsen BookScan.
"We did his memoirs together and it turned out great and it gave us the leverage to MTV and try to get this done," says Gerald, a former editor of Old School Books, one of the first urban black literature imprints from WW Norton that marked a resurgence in the genre.
According to Gerald, 50 Cent is super-involved in developing the street-themed series. The rapper will host a summit of G-Unit creatives--including the authors, his manager and attorney, and Prodigy, one-half of the rap duo Mobb Deep--to plot out the books.
The first wave of releases will be in the form of 150-page novellas; mangas will arrive later, since graphic novels take longer to develop.
G-Unit Books marks the latest business venture by 50 to capitalize on his rags-to-riches story. The former crack peddler, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has sold more than 12 million copies of his two albums, 2003's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and this year's The Massacre. He recently launched a G-Unit clothing line. And his first movie, the semi-autobiographical Get Rich or Die Tryin', has grossed $12 million since unspooling last Wednesday.
The film's PR campaign stirred controversy, when community activists in Philadelphia and Los Angeles convinced Paramount to remove billboards showing 50 Cent with a gun in one hand and a microphone in the other, claiming the signs promoted guns and violence, especially to children in gang-ravaged areas. Then, a multiplex in Pittsburgh pulled the film after its opening night last week after a man was shot and killed.
Whether the upcoming books will generate the same kind of protests remains to be seen. But Gerald said the G-Unit brain trust is not going to "filter the content."
"I think 50 ultimately tells a really inspiring story of making it," the agent says. "I think all of his books, even though there might be violence, are all about optimism and getting there. And the opportunity to get young people to talk about books in a meaningful way, that in itself is an achievement."
While fans wait to read about Fiddy's world, they can soon play along with the home edition. The rapper's first videogame, Bulletproof hits store shelves next week from Vivendi Universal.
