Police Chief Blames GTA for Car Bombings

by Justin Arnold on August 8, 2008

Milton, Ga. – Three teenagers arrested in connection to a string of car bombings professed to have learned to make Molotov cocktails playing Grand Theft Auto.

The teens, one 15-year-old and two 16-year-olds are to be charged with 57 felony counts that include possession of an explosive device, arson, and criminal damage to property.

Video surveillance shows the teenagers buying the materials for the Molotov cocktails which consisted of glass soda bottles, Coleman lantern fuel and some rags. A video that later led to their identification by high-school police officers. Read more…

Thailand Murder Blamed on GTA, Sales Halted

by Chad Lakkis on August 4, 2008

LEGO Grand Theft Auto — For Reals

by Dan Landis on August 3, 2008

WARNING: Rated M for intense violence, extreme gore, flying motorcycles, and pirates.

I think that a LEGO GTA game would actually be pretty awesome. Think about it.

Famous Movie Scenes Remade Using GTA4

by Dan Landis on July 11, 2008

Remember the end of Reservoir Dogs when everyone is suspicious of the next guy and they all shoot each other?  Remember the scene in American History X where Edward Norton caps a bunch of dudes with his nazi wrath?  Wouldn’t it be neat to see those scenes remade in Grand Theft Auto 4?  Well, it doesn’t matter what you think because it’s been done anyways.

A recent series of Burger King print and television ads appearing in Germany poke fun at various aspects of pop culture. Specifically, the theme titled “Veg City”, shown above, takes a stab at the popular Grand Theft Auto franchise.

The closest we have gotten to a GTA parody by a large corporation here in states is the Coca-Cola “Give a little love” commercial. While funny in its own right, it’s no where near as edgy as its German Burger King counterpart.

The video below, was originally pulled from YouTube, so I am not sure just how long I will be allowed to display the one below. In other words, “have it your way”, while you still can. There is also a “Veg City” website worth checking out, assuming you don’t mind the fact that it’s completely in German. Read more…

GTA 4: Everyone’s A Rat

GTA 4 multiplayer

A fourth (and fantastic looking!) GTA IV trailer is now available if you aren’t already begging for its release April 29th, and Rockstar has announced a new online social club for Xbox Live and PSN that will track all kinds of usage data surrounding the game– plus more in the future. Read more…

Niko’s aiming for Spring — brown is supposed to be in this season.

Rockstar’s golden hooker, Grand Theft Auto, was supposed to return last October in the much anticipated fourth installment… wait, sixth installment? Eighth? Okay, let’s just say Grand Theft Auto IV and move on.

October came and went, and obviously the game was not released — if it were, you’d be playing it right now instead of just reading about it. All that’s about to change very soon. Read more…

Very ironic, however I am not impressed as this pales in comparison to the bible I found in a hotel room, signed by none other than Satan himself.

If you are interested in the unique mix of pop culture and politics that this particular ink stained copy of GTA III offers up, you will need to dish out $4000 for the chance to make it yours — or you can just show up at Jack’s next debate hoping to get something signed like our boy Nick did.

The only positive thing here is that the seller promises to give all earnings from the sale to the Child’s Play foundation.

Hot coffee burns Rockstar’s wallet

Under the terms of the settlement, in order to claim benefits, class members must have bought a copy of the game before July 20th 2005, and attest to the fact that they would not have bought the game had they known users could modify the content.
