The only non-negative I heard from news channels (radio, TV, and print) about GTA IV was from NPR (National Public Radio) here in the US. Their reporter sat down in Rockstar North's offices and watched the game being played (and played a bit herself). It was likely the only actual balanced reporting on release day. Since then, I think we've seen a huge drop-off in the negativity and more isolation of people like Jack Thompson whom more and more journalists are beginning to see as beyond the pale in terms of his views. Thanks for continuing a great blog. It's been a joy to read through your articles. Hi Bruce.
