The far right has been running this kind of "kids can't tell reality from a movie/video game" for some time now but there has never been any creditable third party studies which reached that conclusion (at least not ones I've seen). Mostly it's junk like "The Christian League to End Violence in Video Games" study says they're bad & "The video game manufacturers of America" has a study saying they're good.

So actually GTA 3 simulates a type of sexual discrimination, i.e., beating up women, not to mention probably running over them as well. Therefore refusing to take the Take Two account sorta kinda makes up for turning a blind eye towards the other clients shortcomings.

GTA3 was awesome, and quite a lot of fun.

As a side-note, if you want your version of GTA3 to be censored, just set your country location (in windows) to Australia. You will now not be able to have "implied sex".

Not really, you can simulate beating up men and running them over also.



ACK!

It can also teach you to help your fellow man. For example, you can jump in an ambulance and start dropping off the poor injured populace at the hospital in a timely manner. If you get good at it, sometimes you can complete the ambulance missions without injuring more people than you save.
After completing 12 ambulance missions in a row, you can rest easy knowing that you gave selflessly to keep others are alive without expecting anything in return.*



* The money earnt by the missions covers fuel only. Unlimited health and adrenalin at your hideouts are unrelated to the missions, as is your newfound ability to run without ever getting tired. Honest.

I don't care if you're gay. If it sounds like a catfight, it's a catfight. If it sounds like a barroom brawl, it's a barroom brawl. If it reads like it's a flamewar, it's a flamewar. Capiche?
