When scouring the globe for the latest in gaming gossip, it's not often that a story comes out of my local paper - but hey, it had to happen sometime.On Tuesday, January 28th, a 12 year old boy from St. Catharines, Ontario decided to take his grandmother's Nissan Altima for a joyride.

Not only that, but it requires some serious highway driving - including a trek over the monstrously tall Garden City Skyway that still terrifies me on every trip I take.
MolleIndustria are no strangers to controversy. The developer, who many indie game fans know from their sublime web game Every day the Same Dream, once courted a fair bit of notoriety for a controversial game about McDonald's less-than-stellar business practices. Now it looks like they're back in the hot seat over a new game called Phone Story, a title the developers call "an educational game about the social costs of electronic gadgets."
