    Default Grand Theft Auto IV: Photos reveal similarities between Liberty City and New York City

    New York City has been at pains to distance itself from Liberty City, the "fictional" setting of Grand Theft Auto IV, fearing the ultraviolent video game would damage its reputation as an increasingly safe place to live.

    Firstly, there is absolutely no connection to Liberty and New York. The statue of Happiness is holding a cup...in the wrong hand...while Liberty is holding a flame in the other hand.

    Secondly, GTA is NOT BLOODY ultraviolent. Get your facts straight Telegraph!!!!!!

    A quote from the story:

    "But within two weeks of the game’s release, eagle-eyed players have compiled dozens of composite photos showing just how much the two cities have in common."

    Eagle-eyed???

    I have never been to New York, but I can spot loads of places in the game that look like locations that exist in the real world.

    Guess what? IT IS BASED ON NEW YORK! DUUUH!

    I was driving around there earlier tonight, having a great time mowing down pedestrians and evading the police in me stolen car. Last night I picked up a hooker. When she finished I shot her in the head and got me money back.

    Ultra-violent? Nooooooo!

    Bloody good fun though.
