Thanks to Hugh_Man for the heads up. GTAIV reviewed and given 10/10 by a gaming mag.
In future, can all GTAIV news, rumours etc. etc. be posted in this thread. No more news, unless officially from R*, is permitted, otherwise it'll get like MyWii with SSBB with 10 news on GTAIV everyday.

i say keep NEWS in the NEWS section.

as i said, admins would just use a monitoring system

Hi xxxx,

We have been informed today that New Zealand will be receiving the same version of Grand Theft Auto IV as Australia.

As you have placed your order after Rockstar announced that the Australian version was edited, we are assuming that you will no longer require the game to be shipped from us, as we can't supply you with an uncut version.

xxxx

"Well in regards to what Rockstar have removed for the Australian release, as far as we're aware there was only one sexually violent cut-scene which Rockstar felt would cause the game to be Refused Classification.

Seriously I thought he was joking ....I was like LOL you're joking right? He says "No. This is what Rockstar felt needed to be removed from the game for it's Australian release. We were recently given permission to release this information because as we understand, Rockstar originally made a press release stating that the game would be released uncut world wide. We felt it would
