Both single player and GTA Online are impelling virtual universes, and given they are currently running on hardware that is close to seven years old, the fact that a player can get so immersed in the world of Los Santos is a credit to RockStar Game’s developers.  But have you been playing too much Grand Theft Auto?  Quite possibly.

You may have missed this title, though you would be hard pressed to.  It is an entertainment franchise that with the recent release of its seventh major iteration (the fifth to be numbered) it has broken many dollar value records for earnings in the short time it has been available.  In the first three days Grand Theft Auto V was on sale, publisher Take Two Interactive and Developer RockStar Games have pocketed over a billion US dollars in sales.

Surely the franchise that pretty much kicked off the rating debate might be on shaky Australian soil.
