GTA has strategy and a lot of planning... there are those who just play it for the ramps...the great thing about the game is that it is so huge and provides intresting concepts in a large package.
Probably, most of the forumers have played or play counter-strike...that game does not require as much strategy (i would call it knowing your map and opponents) yet the tactics involved are very much present.
My dad does not want me to buy GTA for the same reason he is somewhat against me playing AoM...
But this law is terrible. They have a 0.0001% chance of saving someone a small wound to the arm or leg (if say there was a shooting), yet they are damaging the gaming community because i'm sure software piracy will soar.
