I was thinking the same thing. I don't know about the mute guy from GTA3, he really didn't have much character, but Tommy Vercetti was completely amoral. Going by the cutscenes and missions in the main storyline CJ is mostly just as much as a "good guy" as most video game protagonists, since killing tons of people is generally acceptable as long as they are "bad guys" and the cops in the GTA games are pretty much universally corrupt. I mean, during the course of San Andreas CJ takes down a major cocaine pushing operation, which could be considered noble. Anyway, yeah, he has some points too, I just didn't think GTA was a good example so much as the "obvious choice."
