Show me the Scummy! GTA 4 Police Chase Ratings
We’ve all been there, jumping out of our seats as our virtual counterpart drops his final grenade into the crowded showdown that is the conclusion of a Grand Theft Auto 4 police chase. Your fifteen-minute cross-city extravaganza led you over highways, roads, alleys and sidewalks. You broke for no one, smashing both thugs and grandmothers with an equal lack of discretion. City damages were estimated to be upwards of 38-trillion dollars, and the entire police force, SWAT team and Army loathe you for taking the lives of hundreds of their comrades. You wreaked havoc amongst the thousands of digital citizens in Liberty City, and all you have to show for your charade is a hefty bill from the hospital. Isn’t it time you received some infamous recognition?
If nothing else has remained consistent in the video game universe, it’s that people on Capitol Hill will continue to (attempt to) define what is morally acceptable for its citizens. Like Lieberman had done nearly twenty years ago (against the diabolical Mortal Kombat), Capitol Hill is up to its hijinks again. On July 22nd, Governor David Paterson (governator of New York) signed a bill that will lead to restrictions on the content of violence in games and help families better monitor gruesome titles.
