In this GTA V gameplay video, a cop gets stuck trying to drive his car out of a narrow driveway. Eventually he abandons his car and appears to suffer from a nervous breakdown. Now we want to see Rockstar Games tackle a Falling Down adaptation!
  • In other GTA V news, Lindsey Lohan is reportedly in talks with lawyers over her perceived portrayal in Rockstar’s latest crime caper. The troubled starlet allegedly accused the publishers of using her likeness on the game’s cover without permission, although the swimsuit clad character in question actually shares a closer resemblance to model Shelby Welinder.
