Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Sexual Content, Strong Language, Violence

Rating summary: This is an “open-world” action game in which players assume the role of Huang Lee, a triad gang member who must recover a stolen item and gain revenge in the fictional setting of Liberty City. Presented from an overhead perspective, the game allows players to roam freely around the urban environment and perform various missions for underworld figures. Some missions involve recruiting characters into a gang, eliminating rival gang members and law enforcement personnel, dealing drugs (e.g., heroin, coke, ecstasy, weed, speed), and high-jacking cars. Players can use pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers, swords, Molotov cocktails, and grenades to kill enemies and occasionally civilians. Blood sometimes spurts out of injured characters, and certain weapons can cause decapitation or dismemberment. One still image depicts a character holding the bloody heart of a murder victim. The game also contains sexual references (e.g., discussions of multiple partners, homosexual activity, prostitution, pornography, etc.) and brief instances of sexual activity. Although sexual acts are not graphically depicted, there are sequences in which cars rock back and forth while female moaning is heard. Strong profanity (e.g., “f*ck,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole”) is also heard throughout the game.

These lines are particuarly nice…”Blood sometimes spurts out of injured characters, and certain weapons can cause decapitation or dismemberment. One still image depicts a character holding the bloody heart of a murder victim.”

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?!

Ready to go DSi crazy? GameStop will begin offering preorders for the DSi tomorrow all across North America. For $25, you can reserve a system, and that money will be reduced from the amount you must pay when you pick up the handheld in April.

Thanks to Dominic for the news tip!

A duo of clues may indicate that Nintendo plans on announcing the Nintendo DSi for North America in the coming days. The first pictures of the North American box have been found, which indicate that Nintendo has already provided a few produced units to websites/magazines.

Another clue from IGN says that their weekly podcast has been delayed due to “a rampaging Bowser, a zombie infestation, or an upcoming handheld announcement.”

IGN previously stated that the system would ship in North American on April 1. An upcoming announcement could indeed be for that date.
