I don't know who the hell Hillary Clinton thinks she is, pandering to the religious nuts for 2008 is she? Well she just lost the video gamer voting bloc!

what a HUGE number of constituents there!

Anyone votes against a candidates solely for their view on video games needs help. really.

I won't vote against Hillary because of her views on video games - I'll vote against her because she's a PMSing lunatic who can't stand to see anyone having any fun in the world because she can't keep her husband's wang in his pants. Her position on video games is good evidence of that.

Any surprise that clinton would need other women? If she uptight about pixelated nudity...

As far as the Hot Coffee mod, the novelty went away quickly.

Check Amazon.com for the used games. Amazon stopped selling but at least you can buy from other people.

I think the publicity obtained from this is a good thing. The GTA series is almost a household name. Most of my friends have played it, and nobody I know is going to refrain from purchasing the next game. Even if it's rated AO.

So what if the local Wal-Mart won't carry an adults-only rated GTA? If it's good enough, there will be a demand for other stores to keep it in stock. And people will still buy it.

Frankly, I don't care what the game is rated. The actual content is not the issue. It's the larger picture. Can we shatter the common misperception that games are only for children? Can the "AO" rating become something less than a death sentence for a game's sales?

I'm eager to find out what's going to happen with this.

Hahaha. The oh-so-in-demand video gamer vote. It only affects kids, and they can't vote anyway.

yea it is kinda funny, since I'm 18 and still outraged at this..

seriously though, how do these moron politicians see sexuality as a bigger threat to society than violence? And sexual repression could in fact lead to more violence anyways!

Sexuality> terrorism ????

I'm surprised that they didn't just say Vice City breeds terrorism. Instead our sexuality repressive powers at be when into full gear to stop this abomination. I'm glad the powers at be are stopping this game, instead of stregnthening our borders, or fixing other real domestic problems that this country faces.


Carmageddon was one b!tchen game. :D

I agree, it is one of the "funnest" recent PC games. I play it when I get tired of the usual FPS games.

I'm sure by that point, your kids will think the GTA franchise will be utter crap.
