I don't think it's really fair to say Heavy Rain didn't have actual gameplay. It was just a new type of gameplay we weren't used to before. It put more emphasis on the story than the actual actions themselves. Like the producers said, it was more of a short-film than an actual game. The buttons were just there for tactile feel. What I do agree with though is that it seems L.A. Noire will have the same action elements like GTA but a top-notch crime story like Mafia II. I'm waiting to be pleasently surprised.

The two little blue cars that Top Gear uses in series 1-7 is the Suzuki while they use the Chevy Lacetti from series 8-14. They constantly call the Chevy a Suzuki because it's practically the same car just with different badging :P:P

Man, we all know Donkey Kong is totally black.

But to be respectfully on topic, you have to remember that all the brands that have had a solid base through the decades were all made (I'm not hating or anything) before most people were comfortable with equal rights. There was that slag in the eighties and such. You also have to remember that society is sadly is dominated by white males and so they probably haven't thought about it twice.
