Saints Row may have been a Grand Theft Auto clone, but Saints Row 2 managed to fill a niche by offering a straight shot of nothing but fun, which some people believe GTA did not. I personally did not enjoy the first one but Saints row 2 does have some hooks. Now a third edition is on the way. In …
It’s late October 2008, and that means at least a couple things — another Saw movie and lots of zombies. The World of WarCraft has already been overrun by the living dead, and now Grand Theft Auto 4 looks like it might be next on the list. Last Updated: October 24, 2008
It looks like the holiday video game season is here, and Microsoft isn’t taking it lightly. As if we won’t have enough to spend our money on in the next few weeks, Xbox Live is getting 2 really awesome games. Last Updated: October 17, 2008
Army of Two was possibly my first highly anticipated game since I started with this site. It is a game that has brought me a lot of flak and was the first title in a long line of Lazygamer expectations that were critically slammed. Even if the majority of critics didn’t like this game I still did and I am …
Well that's pretty much what people like Jack Thompson won't be saying. Interestingly enough though, it is actually true. A young girl from America-Land who's surname just happens to be Norris (Coincidence? I don't think so) has acted like a true heroine by saving both of her parents from a car wreck. While the family of five was on their way to visit some relatives, their 2000 Jeep Cherokee swerved off the road, smashing into a guardrail and playing the roley-poley four times before finally coming to rest on its roof with a smashed out back window. The young girl heroically saved her parents as well as her siblings from the wreck as her mom was hanging upside down and her father was pinned against behind the wheel. So how is Grand Theft Auto involved? More after the jump. Here comes the odd and interesting part. When asked, the mother of the 11 year old Audrey Plique gave the following reason for the motivation behind the girls heroics: "She just knew, from playing 'Grand Theft Auto.' She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up. She knew that could happen to us" I am not even going to ask why their 11 year old daughter is allowed to sit and watch them play a mature title like GTA IV but who am I to judge when the game is obviously a simulator that teaches us to recognise and take the necessary steps to prevent further injury or death. It goes both ways folks, if politicians say that children can learn murderous acts from the game due its realistic nature then they cannot deny that the game could teach good things as well. I am just thankful that she didn't run off to find the nearest hotdog vendor.
By PillsburyDeeBoy In recent memory, games like Grand Theft Auto and Halo have assisted console gaming by becoming front and center in the public’s eye and shaking up entertainment as a whole. Halo was accused of stealing Ben Stiller’s thunder, and, likewise, there were fears that Iron Man may under perform due to Grand Theft Auto’s imposing presence. Grand Theft …
