Five years ago today, on September 17, 2013, the biggest game of all time launched: Grand Theft Auto V. It’s kind of wild to think about how long it’s been since the game first debuted on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. When GTAV hit shelves, it was nothing short of revolutionary. The world Rockstar had created was open in a way no other game had yet achieved and ran well even on what was...
The trouble with photorealistic mods in PC games is typically that they come at the expense of performance. Sure, they look beautiful, but when your PC runs the game like it’s on a carousel slide tray from 1952, it’s not really worth it. Enter NaturalVision Remastered, a mod done up by modder Razed. This photorealistic mod for Grand Theft Auto V makes the game gorgeous, and supposedly...
My love of Red Dead Redemption literally cannot be overstated. More than six years after release, it remains one of my most beloved video games of all time. Multiple play-throughs have only enhanced, not dulled, my enjoyment of the game. As successful as Grand Theft Auto V has been for Rockstar, it’s not a game I’ve thought about jumping back into since I finished the single-player...
January was a rough month for gaming in the US. According to the NPD Group, consumers spent 4 percent less on gaming than they did last year. That’s an overall figure, though, and it’s not all broken mirrors and Cure songs. Software sales are up 14 percent. The jump, says NPD analyst Sam Naji, “was due in large part to the stronger comparison this January with the release of Capcom’s ...
Grand Theft Auto V has been a golden egg laying goose for Rockstar. GTA Online, the free online portion of the experience, has been a solid part of the package’s success. The online portion of the game has made Rockstar “at least” $500 million in revenue through microtransactions. The report comes from Gamespot as they dig into the lawsuit between former Rockstar North President Leslie...
Barry Allen might be the fastest man alive, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a speedster yourself. A Flash game might not be in the cards anytime soon, but maybe this Grand Theft Auto V mod can hold us over.

Grand Theft Auto is still the king. We’re in the middle of that part of the year where companies do all their financial updates for investors, and now it’s Take Two’s turn. The publisher revealed that Grand Theft Auto V has shipped 60 million copies across all platforms. Of course, shipped doesn’t mean bought, but I can promise you there aren’t 59 million copies of GTA V sitting in a...
PlayStation Network had a huge year in 2015, and it sold a stupidly large amount of video games.

Sony has published several lists, showing the most downloaded games of 2015. Check them out below. PS4 Games 1 Call of Duty: Black Ops...
YouTuber Hoosker Don’t had a little bit of an accident while playing Grand Theft Auto V. While riding his motorcycle in first person view during a mission, this player wound up wiping out on a bit of four lane highway. As he fell and got out of the way, the AI drivers that make up the game’s fake world started piling up around him. What ensued was a five minute full car pile up where...
If you’ve been looking for a bit more in the way of realism when it comes to the behavior and response of the police and wanted levels in Grand Theft Auto V, this Crime and Police Rebalance & Enhancement mod from BobJaneTMart might do the trick. Silenced weapons no longer alert the surrounding area to a crime. Leaving no witnesses means no wanted level. If they don’t have time to...
