While that's technically true, no real publisher will ever bother to release a game with an AO (adults Only) rating from the ESRB. Rockstar toned down Manhunt 2 to get it down to a "mature" rating and get it onto store shelves. The retailers responsible for 99.9% of american game sales refuse...

Can't you import the games from Britain? Do they have the same PAL region stuff on their consoles as Australia?

Are Australian movie releases subject to the same level of censorship? If not, why not?

I thought we were the puritans. Sucks to be you guys.

GRAND THEFT AUTO III BELONGS ON THIS LIST, NOT IV. This list is obviously taking historical impact into account... and GTA III is when the series kicked doors down and changed the industry. I don't think that anyone would argue that GTA IV displayed the same level of innovation and amazement...

I want a game with the good parts of Bioware games (compelling story, interesting side characters, suspenseful dialogue, and the feeling of REALLY changing the world through your actions) mixed with the good parts of Bethesda games (real sense of freedom, rewarding exploration ((optional...

one of the poll choices should have been, "Are you fucking high?".

You know, if you walk down the middle of the street in grand theft auto swinging a baseball bat at random strangers, the Liberty City police will come pick you up too.

They found a way to refer to the NES metal gear games in the new games. They were never designed to be middle chapters in an epic story. Don't be silly. As such, the connection is tenuous.

Make sure to start out on the hardest difficulty. Anything else is way too easy. And I'm not one of those "play every game on the hardest difficulty" type of gamers. A fun game. It should be around $10 by now too. I'd say it's worth almost double that. It froze and deleted my savegame...

the psp is a portable emulator, like someone above me said. They should embrace it, or at least ignore it. I don't think the damn thing is going to take off in sales at this point regardless of what games they put out.

Maybe you notice more assholes when playing co-op because you're forced to play unranked matches and you're more likely to be matched up with other people's unexperienced friends and little brothers who are also playing co-op, possibly for the very first time. In competitive ranked games...

some people are dicks online. fact of life. move on.

There is no reason to make a GTA movie. If there's no "why" then we don't need a "why not".
