GTA4: art or brutality?

Hi guys,

in the stores is now available Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA4), a controversial and much-discussed game...it is 18+ rated and you will need to set your age in the game before start playing.
Well, it sounds a little strange to tell your age to a game, but why all this limits?

Your main character is Niko Bellic, a ruthless Serbian, who have to steal, stick up, drive drunk, and other "nice" things...maybe this is the problem, but it is too easy to blame a video game for encouraging violence, after all it is only a game...or not?

You can find a great review of this game on GamesRadar, so you will be able to give an opinion about GTA4, even if you do not own a copy.

Have you ever played with GTA4? How old are you?
Let me know what do you think about this game...

Ciao,
Delia.
