Meh, tabloid.
Tabloids make up stupid crap all the time. The Star is up there with the worst of 'em.

It's pathetic how some journalists tend to look for any chance they can to jump on video games. Utterly pathetic.
I'm not sure if this is the same guy who terrorized where most of my relatives live, either way that's some deplorable journalism.
Journalism is a lot about responsibility, I don't see how running a video game blogg is irresponsible. Publishing a story like this on the other hand... who is the idiot how publishd a story like that :p
he only shot 3 people then was chased for 7 days then held up in a house killing himself after a stand off. seems like a short game to me. may it could be an episodic downloadable game ....
but he did have accomplices , which could mean co-op play.

Wow. Firstly, the box art isn't stylized unlike every GTA game since 3 (at the latest). Secondly, GTA is more of a PlayStation/PC hit than an Xbox hit. Yeah, that's poor reporting.
But to go and *tell* the grandmother of one of the victims? That's terrible. I really hope the Daily Star get the pants sued off them.

This is just contiuation of the media's handling of the whole Raol Moat affair. One day he was reported as Britain's most dangerous man, the next a victim of the system. The "wave of sympathy" was equal parts the way the media portrayed the manhunt as it was the anti-police sentimentality retards on facebook. Not one iota of professionalism in any way that this was handled, sensationalisation journalists need to fuck off and die.
What's really funny is that if you go to:

There's a dead link to it. Seriously :D

Wow, interesting. The family should sue the journalist for mental anguish, and then Rockstar should sue. I guess.. anyway, my day continues.
What I would like to know is what the fellows at Rockstar will think of this little bit of libel. Maybe Jim should ask them their opinion on it, with any luck a lawsuit is brewing.
I hate the fact the most popular British newpapers are also the shittiest.
The Sun, The Mail, The Star...

i swear to god, you could show this image to these idiots
and they would believe it's real, seriusly, this is just pathetic

there are ppl who think you guys arent really journalists? maybe some not in profession, but you sure do just that. damn, I use this site as a news site for games, its one of the best and fastests. if journalism is anything but hunting and giving information, promoting reflection, opening the eyes on many subjects and writing curious and creative articles, then tell me, because you are doing that.
I doubt the people who put it in the paper believed it, they just didn't think through what would happen when they pretended to believe a joke in poor taste.
People who only read tabloid print media and are actually credible enough to believe an obvious shop is real just aren't very relevant anymore.

Aren't these the guys who said the Prestige edition night vision goggles was for geeky, nerdy, pervs?
And don't they sponsor a porn channel somewhere?

Don't worry, no-one takes this paper seriously in the UK. You can get more real news in other newspapers, and more footy & tits in The Daily Sport. It's pointless.
I agree with everything you say here, Mr. Jim. Every Sunday morning I have to put the damn supplements into these things and I despair at the "news" that they waste time and money printing.
Also, the image looks to me like something 4chan or Something Awful would knock up. 'Twas all in good fun!

That was a damn fine piece of JOURNALISM! right there. Damn fine.
Oh I mean absolute shit. Well done Daily Star, well done.

So they're running a story based on a photoshop job?
I don't think there's anything else I could possibly say about this... Congrats for hitting a depth I didn't even think were humanly possible though.

They tell the one of the victims’ grandmother a lie about an obviously fake game just so they can write about her reaction? That is fucking sick, both her and Rockstar should sue.
Yeah I feel like calling out a tabloid for bullshit articles is like saying: "Elton John: Gay?"
True? Yes. Necessary? Ehhh.
This is some deplorable shit though.

LOL way to use this story to further peddle your Anti-Xbox propaganda.
From a guy who owns both and has played online on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, there are idiots, homophobes and rampant immaturity on both. You need to shut the fuck up.

Ugh, it's the Daily Star. The paper that has Jordan on the front page everyday as the main headline news.
They had a fucking whole page about how Jordan and Alex are having relationship troubles because a pig likes him more. Anyone who reads this paper for pure facts is stupid.

the funny thing is that they know they fucked up. the link to the story is dead. it instead goes to a page that says "Sorry, that page was not found!" and with a topless chick that has "Why not check out the Babes section" on her breasts. wow, they must be a really credible news source if they have a PORN section! *sarcasm*
I can't believe the guy who wrote the artical for the Star. What a total retard! I stumbled in to his facebook account before where he had just posted
'' is baffled by the fury of adult gamers! These are grown (?!?) men who sit around all day playing computer games with one another who've today chosen to enter the real world just long enough to complain about my story slamming a Raoul Moat version of Grand Theft Auto! You would think I'd denied the Holocaust!!! Think I'...ll challenge them to a virtual reality duel....stab....I win!!!''
I can't actually describe how much a tool this guy actually is! he clearly has no idea about games anything.

I wouldn't even called the Daily Star toilet paper, let alone a fucking newspaper. And don't get me started on the equally-bad-if-not-worse Daily Sun.
lol - where I work, the daily star's website is blocked - they obviously know the site is full of dangerous shite like that story!
