Say goodbye to your life, Grand Theft Auto V footage released!

Love it or loathe it, the Grand Theft Auto franchise is a gaming entity that transcends the dimly lit bedrooms of teenage boys and screeches into popular culture like a stolen motorbike.

It has been bashed by media commentators who feel the violence portrayed within the games (the ability to murder a prostitute, for example) can have an adverse effect on the often young minds playing the game but there's no denying it is a feat of utter genius with regards to its depth and film-like qualities.
