Thompson, who is under investigation by the Florida bar after a series of
complaints, said that a character in the game is a lawyer who says: 'Guns don't
kill people. Video games do.'

The anti-gaming lawyer stated in a
letter
to Take2 Interactive chairman Strauss Zelnick that he is worried that gamers
will copy the game and put him at risk.
The first mission in the game involves the lead character having to gain
entry into a lawyer's office and shoot the lawyer.
The letter also claimed that GTA4 developer
Rockstar
Games alleges on its website that Thompson is bisexual, something which he
says has led to his wife being sent sex toys by gamers.
This is not the first time that Thompson has claimed that he has been
parodied in a video game.
He has also sued a former US Attorney General for battery after she touched
his arm.
Thompson has been a thorn in the side of the US computer games industry, and
has taken repeated action to stop what he believes are harmful games.
The lawyer claimed in April that the Virginia campus shootings were down to
the
killer's
video gaming habits, and has pioneered laws that ban the sale of computer
games to minors even though these have been
struck
down by the Supreme Court.
