Once again, I think this is too far and doesn't do anyone any favours.

Am I alone in that?

I think it's everyone going crazy again. Rappers talk about drug dealing all the time and they've actually done it. A game talks about a fantasy situation in which drugs are dealt and it's blown out of proportion. Games are just a scapegoat for society's ills in the media mind. Parents and game buyers, however, happily seem to be taking no notice. Parents will still buy the game to keep their little brats quiet and then complain later when they hear expletives coming out of the TV saying "I think this game is inappropriate for my 9 year old girl. It's disgusting". Yes. And it also says EIGHTEEN on the front, eejit.

Nah, my only real issue with it is that it's a tired, tedious, predictable slice of schlock. It's sad that Rockstar - with all the creative talent it's got - can't come up with something more imaginative.

That said, of course, it might be the most original take on drug dealing since Hunter S Thompson or Grange Hill or Seth in the OC etc etc etc... and Zzzzz.

Hello everyone, it's me again. Presumably this game is going to also show you the downside of what it is you're dealing? At least when you drive over a prostitute you can see the dead body rather than just profit from it financially as this will appear to do.

Is Chinatown Wars going to show you the vegetative teenage minds who've smoked too much skunk even though it's become socially acceptable now? Or the twenty-somethings who are in debt but still spend £60 a week on a gram of coke just as a little pick-me-up? Maybe you don't know people like that, but I do, and object to anything that makes doing such things more acceptable.

I'm going to keep saying this until someone listens - the games industry needs to be more responsible than this, and does no-one any favours.
