A game isn’t funny anymore, when a loved one of yours is dead, thanks to guns, robbery, drug overdose etc. I feel these games are only hurtful.

Sorry my friends, thats just wrong.

Just like Steven Seagull movies aren't really movies, GTA and Manhunt aren't really games and I feel that it's an insult putting these POS in the same category. Hell, even Mortal Kombat is a real game compare to these. Well, it was a pretty stupid question, since the answer was obvious.

Pretty much answers my question. Thank you

Without the blood , which adds to the immersion into the gameplay experience, I still would find this game fun. The fact is GTA's gameplay is solid, and fun. Just look at all the reviews, and player reviews. They've all received excellent reviews, which I think they should. I can't wait to get my hands on a next-gen version.

These games make me sick! I have cousins who called me a "NERD" for gaming. Once Grand theft auto came out, some of my cousins bought a ps2 so they too can shoot cops, and I guess "represent" the hood. People are buying into this ulrat violent kick. Lets face it, any game that has to rely on violence is sure to let you down game play wise. Look at BMX XXX. Thrill Kill. Dead or alive Volleyball. Just piece of @#$%% games.
