But this time Jack is the one being sued...

In a shocking revelation, Take-Two has announced that they will be filing a law suit against the most infamous lawyer in the gaming world. No, not Phoenix Wright... we mean Jack Thompson. Mr Thompson is attempting to block the release of Grand Theft Auto and trying to ban Manhunt 2 from being released anywhere else. The reason for Take-Two's action is due to Jack Thompson and his campaign comprised of "public nuisance tactics [which] violates Take Two's First Amendment rights". Part of the announcement can be seen below:

Thompson has a history of making multiple threats of legal action, whether substantiated or not, both against (Take Two) as well as the retailers who purchase the video games and offer them for sale to the public. Thompson has made such threats again in connection with Manhunt 2 and GTAIV�

Thompson meanwhile has responded: "So successful has Thompson been in exposing the fraud and criminal conduct of Take-Two on the national stage� that a corporate coup by 46% of Take-Two's shareholders is set for March 23, which nearly all financial analysts� are predicting will be successful and which will result in the firing of all Take-Two management and the entire board�"
