Summer of the Shark: Artificial Life & The End(s) of Game Spaces in
Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V.
Channel TWo reviews Rockstar Games’ “Grand Theft Auto V,” released
September 2013 and noted as “the fastest selling entertainment product
in history.” Instead of the well-covered social and political aspects of
the GTA series, this review focuses on the limits of the game landscape
and the artificial life that inhabits it.
