My house just got The Lost and the Dead expansion pack for Grand Theft Auto IV, and not a moment too soon. I've almost burned even the Achievements on Nico's story and I'm on vacation. These next three weeks are gonna be filled with bikers.
And Gay Tony in the fall. But if Rockstar continues to expand on Liberty City instead of moving camp to another city, what stories could be left to tell? In the same vein as my meditations on what cities would make good Grand Theft Auto locales, I present my Top 3 ideas for expanding on Liberty City.
3. Chinatown Wars
Why should Gameboy (or whatever) users have all the Chinatown fun? Either adapt this sucker or create another storyline revolving around the Yakuza, the Chinese Tong and other goings on in Chinatown. Every time I'm over there and draw a gun, it seems like there's a gang banger ready to pull on me. I want to tap into that.
2. Union Dues
You play a blue collar Joe that starts doing jobs for his corrupt union until things get out of control. It's the second season of The Wire on the docks, or the construction sites, or any number of locations in the industrial park, the latter a largely underused section of the city. It ends with the nuclear reactor going into meltdown. And hardhat armor!
1. Fifth Avenue
A stretch, I know, but GTA should cover white collar crime as well. Think Dick Jones in Robocop. You start out as a yuppie wannabe power broker that goes up the corporate ladder through industrial espionage, sabotage and bumping off the opposition. Wall Street has never been so cutthroat.
