The videogame industry's favourite attorney - one Jack Thompson - has forced himself into the headlines again today by claiming that Rockstar Games features him in its upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV – and he ain’t happy, reports GamePolitics.

Now, you'd think anyone would be thrilled at their inclusion in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2008, but not Thompson. He claims that a lawyer who is killed by in the first mission by Niko, the game’s protagonist, is he. The anti-hero pulls a gun on the lawyer who says, “that the firm supports the second amendment and that ‘Guns don’t kill people. Video games do.’”

Thompson has filed a document with the federal court in Florida in which he demands 'his removal' from the title or else he’ll do everything in his power to block the release of GTA IV.

"Now you have descended this low - using one of your games to threaten my physical safety… Failure to comply with the deadline… will result in my having to take necessary and proper means to stop release of the game which targets me personally," reads an extract of Thompson's complaint.

Something tells us that this isn’t the last we’ll hear of Mr. T in the run-up to the release of GTA IV.
