What Are Splatterhouse, Kindergarten Killer and the Other Games the NRA Slammed Today?

Names such as Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto are longtime punching bags in an often-clueless discussion of violent video games in the mainstream.

Reacquaint Yourself with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas—The Introduction

Russian Criminals Use Grand Theft Auto Fan Art In Ads For Bank Robberies

A seedy underground of Russian criminals has gotten so brazen it’s taken to posting advertisements offering the services of its expert “bank robbers”.

But What Did Internet Morons Think Of Vice City’s New Trailer?

Taking inspiration from a treatment on the latest GTAV trailer, reader Adriaan has wonderfully gone through YouTube comments on the latest Vice City iOS clip, presenting them in isolation for our enjoyment.
