After over a year of steady promotion Grand Theft Auto IV has been released for thousands of game hounds to devour by the weekend. It's enough of an incentive to prompt me to buy a 360 or PS3 just to play the game. In the meantime the website offers plenty to give visitors the look, feel, and flavor of the game.
One of the first things that caught my attention was the interactive map of Liberty City, which is Basically the five boroughs of New York under different names. As your cursor glides over the different areas a short description pops up. If you have lived in New York City within last few years then you should find these borough slogans rather appropriate.
Algonquin = Manhattan
Self-proclaimed center of everything.
Expensive, snooty and over.
Better in the movies.
Tall buildings, angry people.
Yawn.
Broken = Brooklyn
Desperate try-hards.
Suddenly fashionable. No on sure why.
Gentrifying, but still rough.
Still bridge and tunnel.
Churches, hipsters and housing projects.
Dukes = Queens
Multicultural ghettoes.
I think my maid lives there.
Best thing is the airport.
Bohan = Broxn
Like the suburbs, only worse.
Where is that again?
Be afraid.
Ripe for re-development.
Practically upstate.
Alberney = New Jersey
Soccer moms and SUVS
Industrial wasteland meets suburban hell.
Bring your passport.
Strip malls and condos
