Grand theft auto is an open world, action-adventure, role playing, crime game developed and published by rockstar games. Gta was first released in October 1997 and the latest is Gta V (released 17th September 2013). The gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress on an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, role playing, stealth and racing elements. Though the subject of the game is usually a comedic satire of American culture (according to Wikipedia) but it's entire series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. According to Cheryl Olson, a health specialist at Harvard, 28 percent of boys and 5 percent of girls strongly agree that liking guns and other weapons motivates their gameplay. A video in youtube stated that Gta V is supporting or supports violence against women and encourages racism. Alot has been said about this game and its genre. These game involves car chase, robbery, snatching, snitching, stealing, pole dancing, violent themes, explicit languages, realistic blood splatter on camera lens, urban dystopia of gunfights. Now am not going to sound like Jack Thompson or foster these games. Does this game promote aggression and influence children? The topic is a question, what do you say?
