^^No shit, GTA game's are so violent. After reading that article I might just quit playing those games, Last thing i need is to hear"gangster voices" telling me to kill someone.

Pretty sad. They said there is an 18 year old who had his Jaw broken along with his nose in order to steal his copy of the game.

Yikes! My brother came over last night with his copy and the boys played it for a bit. I dont know, I dont really get the hype (sissy girl's mentality maybe). And I especially cant figure out how having to wait one or two more weeks for a video game is worth breaking someone's jaw over or stabbing someone in order to get it the day it comes out.

That sucks for ppl to be doing things like that. It's like the game do what you want until you get caught.

Exactly...I'm usually laughing so hard the whole time cause its rediculous what you can do in the game. The acting is so cheesy I don't know how anyone can take it seriously.

I thought some gta obsessed moron might beat me up for my copy, thats why i stole a car and got to my local eb safe and sound.

Well all you can say is
Its the responsibility of the parents to control what their children get access to. And if they fail at controlling that, blaming it on a Video game or tv show is just

Take responsibility for your kids and stop blaming the producers.

I still think San Andreas is better.

All the do gooders are out in full force blaming violence on video games.. again.

Oh and btw.. way to jump to conclusions..

A stabbing reported by the BBC to have occurred by a perpetrator waiting in line for a midnight UK launch of Grand Theft Auto IV may be completely unrelated and the result of "media panic." VNU cites GamesRadar as the source, which credits a GameStation employee who told the outlet that the crime committed against a passer-by "had categorically not pre-ordered the game" and that the victim was not in the store's queue.

Theories abound that drunken pub goers nearby had been the ones getting all stabby. It's all so confusing and tangential, but at least we got a fun story out of it!

Some fucking stupid news article designed to make people afraid comes out every time a new GTA game is released. They're usually followed by some asswipe politician complaining about the effect it must be having on kids. Same thing with rap music. It's happens EVERY TIME. That kinda stuff really pisses me off. I'm tired of some fucking pussy blaming real world violence on video games.

It never even clearly states that he was stabbed in line. Sounds to me like he got stabbed and just kinda stumbled towards the giant crowd of people, completely unrelated to the video game. Oh, but they have to throw in that it's 'ultra-violent' and that 3 police officers were ALLEGEDLY murdered because of the game.

Shitty biased reporting from the BBC. That's bad, I always thought they were a pretty reputable news source.

Just to shove it in the face of every big bitch who believes all the media fear mongering horseshit: I grew up playing violent video games and listening to violent music and watching violent movies and smoking marijuana and drinking excessively at times. I don't hear voices, feel the urge to kill people, want to run anyone over, hate other races, abuse animals, abuse women, steal, carjack, etc.

Now if the cops had only played SWAT4 they would have been better prepared to defend themselves!!

Well gosh darnit, I demand that every police officer henceforth be equipped with a standard issue copy of the SWAT series. THINK OF THE CHILDRENN!!!!!!
