Closing Bell: Grand Theft Auto, Brooklyn Liberty City
A Wanted poster has popped up on the corner of Lorimer and Grand asking people to shoot Niko Bellic on sight. Bellic is the main character in the latest installment of Grand Theft Auto, and the poster says he's "wanted for questioning in connection with a shooting at a nightclub in the Hove Beach area of Broker." The new installment of the popular video game series, due out in April, is set in Liberty City, a fictional version of New York. The game has painstakingly reproduced NYC streetscapes, like the fake row of Brooklyn brownstones at right. Anyone know if the marketing campaign is targeting neighborhoods other than Williamsburg?
