Ooorah?
Seriously though, because I have very little time before I bundle off to work, and I know that most people will just read the top few because they’re funny, and then spend the rest of their evening in Liberty City, I will make it easy on you. I’m just going to link to the articles themselves, and call it at that. OK? OK.
- Immigrant Council Fears GTA IV Influence (Games Radar)
- Man stabbed queueing for midnight launch of ultra-violent video game Grand Theft Auto IV (Daily Mail)
- Croydon Stabbing ‘had nothing to do with GTA’ (MCV UK)
- GTA 4 launch leaves school “deserted” (VideoGamer.com)
- PS3 GTA IV suffering freezing errors (GamesRadar)
- Rockstar gives GTA PS3 advice (Eurogamer)
- GTA IV online is down [OLD NEWS] (PS3 Fanboy)
- Microsoft confirms GTA 4 episodes for the autumn (VideoGamer.com)
- eBay sellers profit on GTA 4 shortages (VideoGamer.com)
- Watch Ricky Gervais’ GTA IV stand-up show (GamesRadar)
- GTA IV: GAME’s Online Store Force-Bundling GTA IV [UPDATED, BUT STILL RELEVANT] (Kotaku)
Three observations:
- Daily Mail was obviously the first to link the stabbing to a violent video game, despite how quickly it was pointed out that the victim wasn’t even in line for the damn thing.
- The PS3 version is the one that has been listed for both points of failure listed above.
- People will always, without doubt, try to wring anything for money (but that’s a given, yes?)
Enjoy!
