Just finished on BBC2 the story of Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar and the US legal challenges.
Starred Daniel Radcliffe (looking very small and beardy).
I thought it was excellent. It portrayed the overly religious (although maybe not by US standards!) lawyer quite sympathetically and made it look as though the homicidal hoodlum was influenced by video games and showed the game creators and hothouse world they live in really well.
Not that I have a clue if Rockstar HQ was anything like that.
It's a shame the game's Dundee origins weren't mentioned, or any Scottish accents.

I didn't see the programme but I've just read this so I'm guessing it wasn't too realistic!

Rockstar Games tweeted "What exactly is this random, made up bollocks?" Grin

Yes I read that, not surprising as to anyone unfamiliar with the company you'd think it was an American company with a couple of Brits in it, not a company that started in Scotland.
I still enjoyed it though but am surprised that as the BBC made it they didn't play up the British aspect of GTA as it was a big success for Dundee and the Dundee gaming industry.
