GTA V is coming later this year, and you can bet our buns that that premium game is going to command a premium price. Still, if you’re ready to fork out plenty of money for a copy of the game, then it might be worth throwing a few dollars more towards the special editions. Here’s the amount of sandbox bang that you’ll get for your buck.

GTA V is coming to PC

May 7, 2013 at 11:00 am | 31 Comments

The most anticipated game for this year, for most gamers anyway, is Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V. somehow, even though GTA IV was in many ways pretty terrible, people are hyped to hell about the game’s sequel. People who aren’t PC gamers, that is – because the game’s not coming to their preferred platform. Only it’s starting to look like it is.

Well, it seems that this year we weren’t cool enough to be invited to any GTA V events, but I blame that on the fact that Geoff once drove over Dan Houser’s foot while at E3. The game has been previewed to many an outlet recently, with the embargo for that info dropping last night. Here’s a slew of new info, pics and posters for the upcoming sandbox.

FFD: Can GTA V save the gaming industry?

April 19, 2013 at 10:30 am | 63 Comments

The gaming industry is pretty much screwed. Publishers are losing money left, right and centre to the point of breaking. In an industry where 3.5 million sales in less than month is a failure, something’s quite clearly wrong. The gaming industry needs saving – and according to analysts the one thing that’ll save it is Grand Theft Auto V.

Watch Dogs wants to give GTA a run for its money

February 27, 2013 at 9:45 am | 31 Comments

Every genre has a king. With fighting games, it’s Mortal Kombat that sits on that bloody throne. Racing games have a parliament that consists of Forza, Gran Turismo and Need for Speed. And when it comes to sandbox, GTA is still undoubtedly lord and master of that side of gaming. Over the years, there’ve been quite a few attempts to regicide that position away from GTA. Some have come close, others have failed miserably. But this year, it looks like Watch Dogs might be able to pull off a dethroning. Hell, they’re pretty confident about it themselves.

Decorate your desktop with these GTA V wallpapers

January 28, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 2 Comments

Corporate sponsorships be damned, we all need a good PC wallpaper from time to time! If there’s one thing that GTA has always had, besides that mystifying Gouranga score, it’s art. Ever since GTA 3 rolled around, gamers have fallen in love with the art of the series. GTA V is keeping the tradition alive, and it’s doing so with wallpapers. Which you can download, after the jump. So go on and do it while you wait for the game to come in whenever. It’ll be just like advertising for you! Except with no cash coming your way. Profit!

Consummate professional guesser Michael Pachter has put down a pretty worrying prediction, saying that the company could end up buying one of my favourite publishers, Take Two Interactive; the people responsible for Rockstar Games and 2K games.

Why there isn’t a new GTA every year

November 28, 2012 at 7:45 am | 16 Comments

Even though GTA V isn;t due until some time next year, excitement for the game is approaching fever pitch. At the Credit Suisse Technology Conference,Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two Interactive’s head cheese said that the Grand Theft Auto series has reached 125 million units shipped – and offered his reasoning for why the series is so popular; because it hasn’t been annualised like other games, such as Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed.

GTA V may make it to PC and Wii U

November 20, 2012 at 7:45 am | 1 Comment

Rockstar makes great games. High end PCs can make great games look damn good. But seldom do the two ever meet. While GTA IV took forever to ship onto PC, the latest iteration of the sandbox crime does pay simulator doesn’t look like it’s headed for that platform. That’s not to say that Rockstar doesn’t want to publish their next game on that platform though, as they’re actually deeply considering doing so.

For GTA V, ‘now is the best timing of all’ for a current-gen release

November 15, 2012 at 9:00 am | 15 Comments

You can sugar-coat it as much as you want, but there’s no denying that the GTA brand is a powerhouse in gaming circles. It’s got the legacy and the fan-base necessary to shift quite a few units, something that could be used to really launch a next-gen console cycle. GTA V though, is pretty much arriving late to the game for the current cycle of consoles, but according to Rockstar’s Dan Houser, that’s because the best was saved for last.
