"Land of the Spree": Grand Theft Auto IV was finally released and gun-wielding crazies took the streets in droves and... very politely waited in line in an orderly manner. Senior Virtual Correspondent Aasif Mandvi reported live from Liberty City to giddily talk about the chaos and loss of life throughout the game. There is nothing better than wreaking havoc in a virtual replica of the city you live in, apparently.Coca Cola: "Give A Little Love"

I think I saw this during the trailers down at the local cineplex, but this is the first time I have seen it on TV. At first, it's a pretty convincing video game commercial. I suspected to see something about the latest Grand Theft Auto ripoff for the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3.
The tables quickly turn as it is another in Coke's "make the world a better place" line of ads. It goes right back to buying the world a coke and all that jazz. This one won't reach those classic commercial levels, but it's solid. I like the buildup as things get more and more chaotic right up to the grand finale, complete with dancing mice and motorcycle cop pyramids. Not even in the running for best commercial, but cute.
Spike TV ponders Grand Theft Auto

Right now there are no real plans, but execs at Spike TV said recently that they may create a show
that would be, according to Variety, "a sort of live-action take on the video game Grand Theft
Auto." Whether this means the show would be based on Grand Theft Auto or just use similar elements from the video
game is unknown. In fact, pretty much everything about this is unknown since the idea is just that, an idea. Still, if
anyone were going to attempt this, it might as well be Spike TV, since a show based on the violent and graphic video
game I used to watch my roommate play for hours on end would be right at home on that network.TV Squad Hot Topics
