One of the more unique aspects of the new and rather successful video game Grand Theft Auto IV is that The Office creator Ricky Gervais features in the game. He told Shortlist magazine that he recorded exclusive stand up material while standing in lycra for the in-game content.

I was all in favor of the Lagerfeld cameo, but Gervais I’m not sure about. At some point the cameos become a little kitschy, which is not what GTA is all about. I recently wrote about GTA IV and how I felt they could bring new players to the game by collaborating with David Simon, the guy behind The Wire: http://eyecube.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/gta-iv-preaching-to-the-choir-v-converting-the-uninitiated/
