Here's a letter which he sent to Take Two's head honcho Strauss Zelnick's mother. Apparently he didn't send it to his mother but Take Two's lawyers. But it was addressed to Strauss' momma. Either way, have a read and tell me what you think.
Personally i think he's a nut job, like almost everyone else. He's actually blaming Strauss Zelnick for the murder of three, and more, cops. how ridiculous is that. I really can't stand this guy. Even bringing in the hitler youth! I really hate that he says kids train to be murders on Vice city and will do co on GTAIV as well. And that they train to kill cops. The guy is just batshit crazy really. No matter what he does, the fault does not lie with Take two, its mothers buying their 12 year old a game designed for 18 year old. And also the shops for not checking age's. But the whole murder is caused by the kids playing games is just wrong.
Bah,, anyway, thoughts?

Video games in no way teaches kids to kill, that's bullshit, you really have a lack of empathy and out of touch with reality to kill based on that.
Rick, it's my opinion that it's not mothers' fault for buying the game for their kids, it they feel their kids are mature enough to handle the content in a mature way they should let them. If you raise your kids right then they should be able to handle it.
Oh, and so you know, the guy who killed those three cops was abused as a child, I'm pretty sure that caused some mental issues essentially making him a time bomb waiting to go off.
And what loser writes to someone's mother? That's essentially the last resort kids go to to get at their friends.

Everything Chazz says is both a lie and the complete truth. You can spend your entire life trying to understand how this could be so, but your head would explode exactly 97 seconds before you achieve your goal.

Got it at midnight madness for my PS3, very fun game.
I've never been the biggest GTA fan, but I'm enjoying this game a lot.

I haven't played it yet but I read they really stepped up the gun play and the story. The most flawed aspects of previous GTAs in my opinion. Everything else should be intact too, like the humor, the freedom and the ability cause major mayhem

The gunplay i agree with. But the story in previous GTA's was pretty good. In Vice City the story was excellent. GTA3 not so much but still pretty good.
