So the 360-exclusive expansion for Grand theft Auto 4, sub-titled “The Lost and the Damned” was released this week and is enjoying a high score from the critical masses. But it’s also raising a stink by pushing the envelope yet again. The game still features it’s normal drugs, sex, prostitution, and rock n’ roll shock values; but now there is a new player: full male nudity. I won’t be playing this expansion but reportedly Rockstar Games has stirred up yet another debate by making a technically great game with disturbing bad content (and the free press and money rolls in). I’m hearing that the all-the-way nudity happens in conjunction with a serious act of violence… See what they did there? So is Rockstar artfully asking the nation which offense offends us more, or are they just out to boost the ratings with more and more raunch and gore?

Either way, parents make sure to steer your kids away. Even Rockstar would say that…

Also; I’ve always wondered if these games get such good (review) press because of the bad content or because they are good games? If you take out the content and made it a T-rated game – would it be just as popular? Just thinking out loud.
