Grand Theft Auto IV Slips from #1

After 5 weeks in a row, Grand Theft Auto 4 has moved down a rank, with the latest Indiana Jones game now moving up to position one for the Best-Selling Game. Indiana Jones is released on various consoles including the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, no doubt GTA 4 will be back up there one day. :-)

Only 2,676 people have came forward to join the lawsuit against Rockstar Games over their hidden sex scene they added into Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (the one before IV).

Head lawyer Seth R. Lesser. simple said “We can’t guess as to why now, several years later, people care or don’t care.”

The suit basically allowed anyone who found the “Hot Coffee” scene offensive or abusive compensation from anywhere in between $5 to $35.

The lawyers were originally hoping that Rockstar Games would have to pay over $1.3 million dollars in compensation, however according to the news reports it is only going to take around $30,000 to resolve the entire issue.

GTA4 inspires teens to commit crimes

gta
Stephen Attard a 18 year old teenage was arrested and charged with first-grade robbery after police say that his fellow mates and himself went on a crime spree.

To cut a long story short, when the committed the crimes they basically wanted to emulate or copy Nico Bellic, the main character in Rockstars title Grand Theft Auto IV.

They did street robberies, attacked a man and stole his belongings, as well as creating human roadblocks and things similar.

Moral of the story: Make sure what happens in GTA, stays in GTA. :-P

GTA 4 will take around 100 hours to complete

The guys at VideoGamer.com had Rockstar speak with them with when VG went to visit Rockstar’s London HQ, where they got to ask a spokesperson various questions about GTA 4.

The spokesperson told them this:

"If you’re not in a rush and you answer the phone when it rings it’ll take about 100 hours to complete", we were told. "It’s harder to distinguish between main and side missions - there are loads of both. But there are more main missions than side missions. It’s not as clear cut as it used to be because of the phone."

So what are you waiting for? Go finish the game! :-) & Check out Halo Wars Blog !
