Hmmmm I really thought it would be the end of the road these last few years. Now it's just going to start all over.

New York officials have spoken out following the release of the GTA IV trailer last week. It seems that the Bloomberg administration isn't too happy about the suspiciously NY-esque backdrop to the game.
According to the New York Daily News, City Councilman, Peter Vallone, said, "Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland."
The NYPD wasn't too happy, either. Police commissioner Raymond Kelly stated, "It's despicable to glamorize violence in games like these, regardless of how far-fetched the setting may be."
The mayor's office also chipped in, adding, "The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers." |

I don't see what the problem with setting Halo in Disneyland would be. |

What would they say if the next installment were "GTA D.C. - Capitol Hill No Limits". |

I bet people'd be lined up around the block. I know I would! A game where I get to kill crappy politicians and low-life degenerates? Excellent!
