Title: NYC Mayor doesn't like GTA

NYC Mayor: "Boo-hoo!  I don't like video games showing violence in my town, but I don't care when it's in movies or on television."
Rockstar Games: "Thanks for the free publicity."

I wonder if the Wii will get a GTA game sometime in its lifespan.  I'm sure they won't dumb down the GTA4 to run on a Wii, but I could see a side story or port of the previous engine.  With Nintendo getting a larger piece of the gaming pie, I'd think that it would be a no-brainer to bring such a popular series on board.

Maybe they'll release a watered-down port of GTA 1 on the Wii.

I read in some interview that the Reggie dude is trying really hard to get GTA on the Wii. I think it's certainly possible since it's getting that really gorey Manhunt 2 game from Rockstar, but frankly I could care less which system gets GTA :P .

GTA. Could a game be more boring? Thieves suck. Always. Especially in games.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.  Though not many 'boring' games sell millions of copies on various platforms with multiple sequels.

Well I don't like the NYC mayor, so it's all good.

EDIT: And is this a late April Fool's joke? They callled New York City the safest city in America.  Yeah, and Anne Coulter is the hottest chick in America.  :roll:

EDIT: And why am I surprised that Seldane hates GTA? The only game he plays is Pong, and even then if you were to ask him about it, you get "Meh, well I was bored...".

RPGs or nothing, is what I say.

Oh that's cool. RPGs aren't my fave, but I DO like a good RPG every now and then. Have you played the Ys Oath Of Felghana remake on PC? It's awesome.  8)

It's okay, but I prefer Ys VI (less action, more adventure). Ys Origin (only action, no adventure) was a really big disappointment. :(

Ys Origin wasn't what I was expecting, either, but that big ass centipede that played like the cellphone game SNAKE was some sort of awesome!

Oh yeah, that I totally agree with. That centipede boss was incredible. That's the best part with these recent Ys games - the boss battles. Always fun (except when you fight the little sprite guys [Epona, Chester, etc] which happens a bit too often).

Ys games have always had top notch boss fights.  8)

What about treasure hunters?

What about bards!?

Treasure hunters are fun. Just look at Indiana Jones. He rules.

Off topic:
My random thoughts on Pac-Man. Pac-Man is a drug addict. He runs around in his house(the maze) gobbling up lsd,acid,whatever little pills he can find.He sees f*cking ghost and in his drug induced paranoia runs away until he can find his Super PCP stash,usually stuffed away in the corner of a room.After taking Super PCP he then has the ability to devour the souls he sees.Ms. Pac-Man is actually Pac-Man in drag repeating the cycle of hurt,drug induced fear and paranoia.
How does he see her and him then you ask? Split personalities. Go watch Raising Cain,it explains everything.

The joke that Pac-Man does drugs and listens to bad music in the dark is as old as rave itself...
