Oh no. Another journalist has hit out at Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. These are some of the things he said about the game:

"…you can also kill anyone (or everyone) else. You can machine-gun them, beat them with baseball bats, chop them up with machetes or run them over with stolen cars.

And when you do, everything will look incredibly and shockingly real, with blood spewing everywhere.

You can kill a cop, steal his gun, and then use it to shoot someone else. Or you can pick up a prostitute and have sex with her in the back of your stolen car, then beat her to death – or shoot her, bludgeon her, whatever you want.

In fact, "whatever you want" is what the game is all about. Thanks to its artful and complex programming and its incredibly realistic graphics, the game creates the impression of being inside a totally unscripted, live-action drama in which you can manufacture your mayhem as you go along."

Well…there’s only one thing to say to that:

SOLD!!

How awesome is that!!! Buy this game kids!!

Unnggg…. hungover today. *And* I’m the only one in the office. Why can’t I have this week off too!! No fair.

AWWWW!!!!!!!!!

There was quite a disturbing sight on the way to work this morning. There’s a little Gucci shop on Cornhill street, and outside it was a queue 20 people long all lined up. So… these people are lined up right, in the RAIN, so they can save 15 quid off of a 200 quid handbag?? A 300 quid pair of shoes??? Freaks.

I took down the site’s christmas decorations now that Christmas is over for another year. This is a pretty interesting article, kinda one-sided but also contains a lot of harsh truths (for Microsoft).

Whoa, how cool is this. This year I bought my brother KotOR for his birthday, and then he bought me Prince for mine. Look at what came first and second in Penny Arcade’s "We Were Right" awards. Spooky!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hrm, there appears to be quite a lot of people around the city even though its almost Christmas. Very strange, I thought the place would be a ghost town.

Gamespot’s Best and Worst of 2003 are out. No surprises for most disappointing delay. Am very glad KotOR won best role-playing game cos I’m playing it now and its GOOD. I’m being very evil to get dark-side points, lying to the jedi-council, making people hate each other, killling everything I can possibly kill, its cool fun!

Chris Barrett, you are, the biggest prick in London. Die.
