This week on Sessler’s Soapbox, G4’s most outspoken personality talks about censorship and how he expected more of an uproar over Grand Theft Auto IV than what actaully materialized. He also talks about how the Wii has helped bring videogames into the mainstream, and the distractions of the mainstream media right now. His concern, and the real topic of this Soapbox is, “be ready for a barrage of controversy over some game in the near future” when healthcare and the economy are no longer the top issues in the country. Watch it now on G4.
