The Truth About GTA 5

No not really the truth, just another needless discussion about Grand Theft Auto.

Much media space has been corrupted with coma inducing debate about GTA.  Most of us have some idea of what the game is about, the gamers amongst us know that "Rockstar" the makers of GTA have gained a lot of free publicity by courting controversy  - yawn!  But it's a fact that there are many games with an equal or higher level of violence. But I don't want to talk about that here, no I want to talk about the free GTA app that you can download to your smartphone.  The app is called ifruit & after a quick set-up will link to your Playstation network account (I expect it's the same for Xbox) This app allows you to train a dog called "chop" who can be seen in the GTA 5 game.  The dog can be trained to sit and retrieve stuff & there are mini games to earn money to buy new collars.  The app also gives you the ability to customise your in-game car from your smartphone, personalise your number plate, respray job etc. If you think this sounds boring and pointless, then you're right.  The idea is great, but the execution is similar to a game involving picking up a cup and placing it onto a table ten times.  I hope they develop this further because I think this is the future.  Rockstar say so on their website and I agree.  It's about integrating a game into your life, so that even when you're not playing - you're playing.  So let's see your comments.  What do you think about the future of gaming? How will it evolve? How does it need to evolve? Does it need to evolve? Evolve? Is the integration of a game into your life a good thing? What's on telly tonight? No forget that...
