GTA IV a buzz in Australia
WARNING
We are currently in the process of moving servers, due to this some of RockstarWatch may not appear as it should. We have managed to place a partly working version of the website on the new server, that is what you are currently viewing. Before the server move we were working on a huge overhaul and update to the website, for the time being this has been placed on hiatus until we complete our server move and configuration. However, rest assured the new and highly improved version of RockstarWatch is just around the corner!

Kind regards,

GTA IV a buzz in Australia

Not even a week after GTAIV coming out, Australia has gone metal over the game, even if it is the cut version. At school, all anyone can talk about; it all becomes a little repetitive really. All over the newspapers and TV is just GTAIV, ads and everything, even major TV personalities are all over the game.

Hamish and Andy spent 10 minutes of their Radio Program talking about it on Thursday, then on Friday, Hamish, as part of the infamous segment ‘Fred Basset’, Andy made Hamish’s girlfriend break the disk, of GTAIV, live on air, if Hamish read the strip, in which he did, and the disk got broken.

On the TV show Rove. [previously Rove Live] (12th May 08), Rove made numerous references to the game, he made jokes about killing prostitutes, then again saying near the end of the night, “Killing people is fun, I killed seven prostitutes today”.
