GTA IV launch covered by BBC News – video
The BBC ran a sizeable piece on the GTA IV launch in its main bulletin last night. Watch the full thing after the link. It includes archive footage from DMA Design when they were working on the first GTA 12 years ago, a game the presenter described as a “car chase”. It was all fields back then. Go see.

It was really amusing to watch poor old “I’ve never been out of the valleys” Huw Edwards having to read ‘Grand Theft Auto’ off of a bit of paper on his desk. Bless. It’s all he can do to cope with the stress of electrical lighting.

Aw. I love Huw, me. He’s the true Welsh hero, like Lloyd George.

Usual negative spin though. Course, the beeb don’t have a good word to say about gaming unless they’re talking about the Wii.
Though strangely, there wasn’t as much coverage of Wii Fit as I was expecting.
