What do controversy and Rockstar’s games have in common? A helluva whole lot, and Rockstar’s new episodic content for GTA will likely continue that trend. Today Rockstar announced their latest foray into the world of Liberty City with “GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony.”

Midnight Club: Los Angeles Review: Expect More Than Traffic

Hollywood and 300

Needless to say, this review of “Midnight Club: Los Angeles” is long overdue; I have been writing it for a while, but a few issues had my opinion flip-flopping like politicians with pending indictments. So, finally, here are my complete and final thoughts on the game:

It’s roughly 10:30 P.M., and I’m driving around Los Angeles bumping The Game and feeling mighty nice. I need to make a right on Wilshire Blvd, so I get over in the far right lane.

Needless to say, I am a big fan of driving games; I feel like I have a connection with them that I don’t have with many other games. It’s probably because I spend much more time driving in real life than I do sword fighting, casting flame spells, and popping off AK-47s.
