UK paper looks for “games turned me to crime” stories

By Patrick Garratt

This is fantastic. As you can see here, an unnamed British newspaper is offering “hundreds of pounds” to people who can provide them with a good enough story of how gaming turned them into criminals.

“Did computer games make you turn to a life of crime?” asked the paper. Well, did they? Did your prostitute-murdering career begin with the launch of GTA III? You’re in luck. Get over there quick, before Anne Diamond applies for a story about games turning her to crimes against reality.
