Getting Ready for GTA4

April 28th, 2008 omo

Few things more suited to prep for GTA4 than stealing copies of it. And it’s not even piracy.

Here’s a video for your non-gaming parents. Along with the “Don’t let your kids play GTA4!” deal from National Institute on the Media and Family & ESRB.

And read a glowing review of it from Liberty City Times.

This is nuts. I might even buy a copy. I got my copy of Persona 3 FES just Saturday and I haven’t had the time to even open it. Guh.

Randomness

So this blog is like, turning into a links blog. I guess that just shows how busy I am lately \o\

1. Toothache sucks. So does seasonal allergy

2. The OGC is funny.

3. Games die as bad businesses ruins things–a pretty little disgusting story.

Regarding #3, it happens in all kinds of other businesses, but in the gaming industry it seems ripe for abuse, and it also happens a little more often than I’d like. I guess the industry is also more high profile than other similar to it, so you hear about it more.

But while you can burn money and win lawsuits that way, in reality it doesn’t always have to be. In Majesco’s case you might be ending up hitting a hollow pinata anyways, given how the company did today… Having original IP is a big deal in this case.
