Grand Theft Coloring Book

…logic is completely gone on this one, kids. Man, I don’t even know what to tell you. This…this is just beyond all beyond. The folks at the Minusworld have, for reasons that pass my entire capacity for understand, created a coloring book for Grand Theft Auto Four.

More of an activity book than anything else, and more of a parody gone horribly awry, it involves word searches (can you find “murdermission” or “quityourjob”?) and a heads-or-tails sort of game by which you figure out the shortest route for the hooker to get to the customer.

Attention Aussies–You Won’t Be Getting Grand Theft Auto 4

Twice the price and half the content?  Who WOULDN’T buy it?? Oh…yeah.  Everybody.So what would you say if I told you that you could get a copy of Grand Theft Auto Four, only it would be extensively edited for content and it would cost twice as much as a normal version?

Not only are they often a riot, but they also come packed with gaming news and philosophies on gaming. And the other day, I got a burst of philosophy that really got me thinking.

From site Crispy Gamer, the Backward Compatible comic made the suggestion that game violence may be less harmful as a progression than as an immersion. What that means is, that early gamers who grew up on Mario and Sonic may be LESS INFLUENCED by graphic violence in gaming than gamers who started with Resident Evil and Grand Theft Auto.

Take Two Problems–Take-Two Rocked by Shareholder Lawsuit.

Bigger than life, and someone’s going down!As if things weren’t bad enough for Take Two Interactive–the guys who brought us Grand Theft Auto. First, they were the targets of a buyout by rival Electronic Arts. Which under normal circumstances might be bad enough, but now Take Two shareholders are forming a fiscal mob to go after the top brass.

The shareholders are, understandably, somewhat upset because Take Two’s top brass has restructured compensation packages to balloon significantly in the event of a takeover–which was exactly what was about to happen thanks to an offer from Electronic Arts.
