The Anarchist Cookbook, while being freely available on the internet, is a banned book. It is banned because it teaches stuff like explosives manufacture, and the only people who could possibly find it "useful" are criminals and terrorists. Grand Theft Auto is a "fun game" about shooting police officers, fuucking hookers and committing murder. Yes, I know they have the right to free speech to publish this $hit, and I have the right of free speech to tell them to shove it up their asses.
Nope, you're not. I bought GTA:SA on a whim one day at Wal-Mart merely because it was $10. I got home, played it for an hour, and took it back. I lied and said it couldn't be read in my computer, just so I could get that $10 back. I did, however, enjoy the story of GTA:VC. But as far as it being useful, I'm in the same boat as you. The game doesn't offend me or anything of the sort, I just think it's pointless. I didn't even like GTA4. The only appeal to GTAwas the free-roaming "do whatever the hell you want" atmosphere. Once I bored of that, the game was useless to me. Not to mention the replay value blows, hard.
