The BBC news team’s “Is this the way to E-lec-tion” was better. And by better I mean more horrific. It had Michael Portillo.

Wasn’t this for the GTA: San Andreas review issue?
report
One of my old faves. Even if the tune has been done to death, I’d still stand up and sing this.
report
Hitler! Wait, that could be the guy out of ‘on the busses’. I enjoyed san andreas. But i have a weird hate for it i can’t justify.
report
Damn you! Now I’m singing Amarillo and I doubt very much that it will leave my head any time in the next 12 hours.
report
Mad props for including a Darwinian – obviously for their tight links to Pimpin’.
Also: ace.
report
SA was waaaaay better than GTA4.
report
you realise the outcry that the forumites will gush unless gta 4 pc is the highest scoring game ever’!’ but oddly i don’t think it will deserve it. The game has strayed from sand box to set piece. And other games do it better. I hope the god awful flight physics are gone. Flying a helicopter in battlefield or arma feels so natural and reactive. The air vehicles in SA handle like the controlls are made of jelly. I will be buying 2 copies (one for me one for the other half) however probably at release too. If only to have her perform a drive by shooting.

Well, I love musical parodies, but the scansion here needs a little work. Good effort, though, and the pictures are funny (especially the Darwinian).
report
This is by far my favourite. I cut this one out, in fact.
report
I dont get it.
report
Haha. Love this comic. It’s great.
report
I thought the flying system in SA was great. One of the best I’ve seen in any video game. WASD + arrows and a few other keys. Nothing wrong with it at all.
report
Missed an opportunity there – Gordon Freeman should be stood there silently instead.
report
Every time I hear Amarillo, these are the words I end up singing all day. True story.
report
Urgh. Saw this SL towards the end of the craze, so when I saw the comic, I just had to scream bloody murder
report
Ahahaha well done. Someone should make a machinima of this with the instrumental in the background
report
I’m so glad I have no idea what this song is.

Why the censorship box in the fifth panel?
