Kent Paul returns after web holiday

The legendary Vice City resident Kent Paul - he's called Paul and he comes from Kent - has made a welcome return to the world wide web - along with some other beautifully observed spoof websites created by Rockstar Games to augment Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Presumably, the fictional 80s nostalgist from Ramsgate has made a virtual return due to the impending availability of GTA: Vice City Stories for the PSP next month on Oct 17. Whatever the reason, if you're otherwise twiddling your thumbs, you could do a lot worse than visit the Kent Paul site.

You may also find links to another couple of mildly amusing piss-takes from that site. Such as the homepage for the quite literally legendary 80s console the Degenatron, complete with utterly addictive emulations of its three games, all of which involve imaginative combinations of green squares, red squares and - oh the extravagance - blue squares. Perhaps its time to start lobbying for a Degenatron revival on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Delve around and you will additionally find a click-through to Darren's site - which may be spectacularly crap, but a time did exist when sites like this were all over the nascent web. And the original Vice City homepage is also back online, although it seems a tad conventional in comparison with its sister sites.

With Bully approaching, Rockstar Games, after a low-profile period punctuated only by the excellent but disappointingly uncontroversial Table Tennis, is clearly stirring its stumps and preparing for a return to the limelight (or perhaps its usual state of notoriety).
