From Mr Vincent Scheurer.

Sir, Your response to the recent release of Grand Theft Auto IV ("A video game crammed with guts, gore and social insight", and "Toys, old and new", editorial, both May 3/4) was considerably more measured than most other comments on video games in the British press. However, both articles omitted one important feature of the genesis of this game (and of all previous iterations of the Grand Theft Auto franchise): that, although the games themselves feature the US, they were all made in Scotland.
