GTA is good for your brain

At last. Real scientific evidence that GTA is good for brains: according to the scientific lab boffins at FKF Applied Research and the UCLA Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Centre, squishy skull-encased sponges simply love GTA. Or, at least, they dig this spoof ad for Coca Cola.

In an experiment to record the effectiveness of adverts during the recent Super Bowl, it was discovered that the amusing GTA-inspired ad was one of the 'best testing' and 'fired the region of consumers' brains associated with positive emotions', reports DailyTech.

With this foolproof evidence to hand, we're sure that we can expect to see more ads jumping on the bandwagon... expect Manhunt Happy Meals to be hitting a McDonalds near you soon. Maybe.

Somewhere, in a fetal position, in his bathroom, (anti gaming lawyer) Jack Thomson groans.

Man, I missed that commercial. This is great news though. We need more scientific studies like this to make people once and for all stop trying to blame video games because they are terrible parents.
