For all Rockstar's faults, it does understand how to give something "a look." A memorable, distinctive one at that. Take the Grand Theft Auto box art, for example. Kotakuite Derek writes in:

Attached is a picture I took (sorry about the average quality, I was using my phone) of a magazine I was reading while waiting to get my haircut. Its from the 28/9/2006 edition of Next Magazine in Hong Kong, a magazine that reports on the weird and wonderful lives of Hong Kong celebs, as well as containing in depth articles on current affairs.

When I turned to the page in the photo, I found the picture in the middle very familiar. The article is about the the lives of undercover police officers in Hong Kong. As you'll see, the picture is very similar to the covers of the Grand Theft Auto games. Nothing in the article is game/GTA related which really makes me wonder why the illustrator would directly copy the art sylte from GTA...

Not only do we love it when readers send us tips, but when they send tips while they are getting haircuts. A Kotaku first! Brian Ashcraft
