GTA V: 5 Reasons Why It's Every Mother's Nightmare This Christmas

5. The Violence

Gtavmurder The obvious problem most mothers have with Grand Theft Auto V is the sheer levels of violence and "how it corrupts children's minds and leads them into a lifetime of crime". Fair enough, 'V' is a pretty brutal game, and almost anything goes in San Andreas, from theft, murder, prostitution, assault, attempted murder and armed robbery. This is a game that allows you to whimsically pull out a machine gun and pepper bullets into a sidewalk of innocent pedestrians, before running over to their blood-soaked corpses, stealing their money and popping one final bullet into the head of anyone unfortunate enough to have survived the carnage, before dousing them in petrol and setting them on fire, while laughing as the bodies fry to a crisp before doing it all over again five minutes later... GTA V isn€™t exactly Tetris, The Sims or Super Mario, and there€™s little wonder it isn€™t at the top of mother€™s shopping lists this Christmas.
