GameStop is to open its 50th store in Ireland at the Ballincollig Shopping Centre in Cork today.

The jury in the trial of a teenager charged with murder has been told that if the accused is not guilty, he must be the unluckiest man in Ireland to have all the evidence stacked against him.

The trial of a young Kilkenny man, accused of murdering his friend’s mother, has heard that he used a bloody €50 note to pay for a playstation game on the evening of the killing.

Computer games retail chain Gamesworld has been acquired by US company GameStop for a reported $3.1m (€4.5m).
