Burger King Welcomes Germany to Veg City

Over in Germany, Burger King is running an edgy Vice City inspired campaign called Veg City. The website has a true Grand Theft Auto-style map, and there are mini games like a sniper games, red light district multiple choice game minus vegetable fucking, and an airport baggage game. Nothing quite like pickle hookers and capsicums getting cavity searches! Imaginative stuff.

Welcome to Veg City! [Official Site via Marblehead Blog via GamePolitics]

Ice-T: Video Games Diffuse Human Blood Lust

Actor and rapper Ice-T loves the video games! Just ask him. Ice-T, what do you think about video games? "I love them," he says. Most notably, Ice-T's favorite is Grand Theft Auto, which he describes as "fucking mayhem." According to Ice-T: More »

GTA: Remembrances of Cars Jacked

Not to be too indulgent here, but it's no stretch to say Grand Theft Auto is one of the few titles out there that rates the kind of visceral, first-time-ever memories that people usually have of events in the real world. The first song you heard on the game's radio, isn't it bizarre that it takes you back — just like a song popular in junior high — except it takes you to a place inside a video game?

These were some of the reactions we at Kotaku had as first-time players ourselves. We'd like to hear your feelings in the comments, too.

"We Are an Adult Entertainment Industry"

Shame about that Manhunt 2 brouhaha. The game was a little much for consoles, snagging an Adults Only rating in the US and being rejected by the UK and Ireland. But Rockstar isn't giving up. So neither should you! The company has stated it will eventually release the game, and earlier this month, Rockstar filed an appeal to contest the UK decision. Gordon Hall, boss of Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories studio Rockstar Leeds, says the industrial ought to stand by the company as it fights the good fight:

...the wider issue attacks our entire industry. We need to teach people that games are an art form — they are more artistic than film. I think the games industry should rally behind us, because there will come a time when we'll all have an idea that's a little edgy, and we need to have the freedoms to express it.

Vice City Stories Coming To PS2?

U.K. Not Scared Of Vice City Stories

While U.S. cities are pulling Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories ads from their public transportation systems, other countries seem to have no problem with it. In the U.K., where Bully was made to change its name and Rule of Rose's release was canceled due to media outcry, GTA is apparently A-OK. So ok, in fact, that instead of the regular on bus posters, they have decided to plaster the GTA:VCS ad on to the entire back of a bus. More »

GTA Celeb Phil Collins Hasn't Played GTA

Phil Collins may never have played Grand Theft Auto (he still hasn't!), but that doesn't mean he's out of place in GTA: Vice City. To give that 80s Member's Only feel to the game, Collins has lent his likeness and tunes to the PSP title. In-game, he appears as himself (a GTA celeb guest first!) and bangs out his most famous song "In the Air Tonight." Vice City's Vic Vance has to protect Phil from assassins. But, there must be something deeper to bring Phil to Rockstar's doorstep. Something. Phil tells MTV: More »

Vice City Swag

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories streeted today and look what showed up at my front door. The swag pack for the game included a long-sleeve shirt, stickers, a pink lawn chair, the game and a... wait for it... retina burning white Member's Only jacket with a fancy pink Rockstar logo on the sleeve and the game's name on the back. And this wasn't a knock-off, it was actually made by Member's Only, it says so on the tag. More »

Your Vice City Domestobot

Do you remember when you first saw Rocky and was moved almost to tears by the triumphant story of an untalented boxer who, by dint of his determination and ability to sustain massive blows to the head, rose above his own fears to prove that he wasn't just a bum? Three movies later, Rocky looked like a supermodel, drove a Porsche, shattered the Iron Curtain after wiping the pinko sweat of Ivan Drago off his brow with the corner of the American flag and — even more unbelievably — lived in a mansion with a talking robot. Philly leg breaker makes good! More »
