They stole my news story! I posted the pics on this board a few days ago and SR have gone and stolen my story!

'Could these be the first shots of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the PS2? Yes, but they are mere teasers for what is to come.
Kent Paul has done it again - the geezer from Kent ("not London, you mug") has whacked some more images from Rockstar's up and coming crime opus on his spoof website, showing a sexy 80's rollerskating chick and a golf cart. The site, which is an official spoof site run by Rockstar themselves, claims to be an "80's Nostalgia Zone", with features on 80's music, TV, film and fashion. Of course, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City just happens to be set in the 80's too, so it all ties in rather well really.

The shot of the rollerskating lovely looks perhaps a bit too tarted up to be a proper in-game screenshot, but the one with the golf cart looks promising - imagine, pelting across Royal Birkdale with a sawn-off in one hand, laying waste to all the poncy-dressed socialites swanning about the greens, die you burberry-decked pansies, die, die! Ahem. Anyway, the whole site's been updated with loads of great stuff, including a few new postacards, like the one below. Check it out.

Obviously, you'll be wanting to buy Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, but stop and think. So will everyone else - what to do? Why, just imagine the mad rush on October 22nd - you'd be trampled to death! Avoid such a needless waste of human life and pre-order your copy with us, it's a lot less dangerous and hey, we're pretty darn cheap too. Click here, and we'll save your life.'

And they call me a plagiarist. Pish. I'm taking this to the copyright courts...

Me thinks they did that to me, but they may have always just got the news at the same time.

Ho-hum. :)

I don't think it's being released on October 22nd.

That's a Tuesday, and games are almost always released on Fridays.
