Activists and advocates for the Haitian community will gather at City Hall Tuesday to denounce "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," a video game they say is violent and racist, as well as dehumanizing to Haitians.

In a release issued yesterday, the Haitian Centers Council and Haitian Americans for Human Rights said Manhattan-based Rockstar Games Inc., which made the game, and its parent company, Take 2 Interactive Software Inc., "advocate the killing of Haitians as entertainment."

"Players are instructed to kill all Haitians, who, in the video game, are stereotyped as thugs, thieves and drug dealers," the release said.

They've gotta be kidding, Don't they? A) No one is portrayed well in that game and B) IT'S A FUCKING GAME! Sheesh.[/quote:cd8ac]

didnt they ban gta 3 from austrailia or released like a super censored version there?[/quote:cd8ac]

I know that all WWII games get censored in Germany, they take all pics of Hitler and swastikas out. If you download the free version of Hidden and Dangerous you'll find plain red banners in place of the Nazi one and pics of some nerd (maybe dev) in place of Hitler
