Hi,
Finally a blog about a computer game! it's about time :-)
GTA IV has been out for a day and its causing ripples already.
GTA is a sandbox of a game, which allows players to act as part of the US criminal working as part of the dark side of American society.
I played the first GTA and found it to be too open ended to be fun. I've not picked up any of the successors - though now I'm going to have to...
An NZ MP has pushed out the old and dusty bandwagon of games causing a drop in our society's moral values.
This from the MP who brought us the abortive Christian Party (they couldn't agree on who was in charge) and who resigned from his political party because of an anti-smacking bill but then forgot to vote against it.
I just love these people. Art reflects life and vice versa. So censorship can change society.
But does ignoring a part of society make it go away?
Just remember folks - guns don't shoot people, kids who play computer games shoot people.
NP out
