GTA and the City
February 8th, 2009 | Jonathan Gray

I’ve been playing quite a bit of GTA4 recently. Its graphics and world-building are remarkable, often beautiful, and really intricate. What I’m finding very interesting, though, is the experience of playing this game, ostensibly set in New York City (even if called Liberty City), while living in the city myself. I’ve got some observations about this, and then, towards the end of this post, I apply them to a consideration of spinoff and licensed games.
