I was introduced to Rockstar’s Red Dead series long before its masterpiece Red Dead Redemption was released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. My first crack at the series came back in the PlayStation 2 days with Red Dead Revolver, a competent Western shooter that never gets the love it deserves. In fact, I’ve known this game for so long that I even remember back when Capcom was set to...
I’ve been watching and reading about E3 since its inception. I’ve attended the show for almost a decade now. Like so many other gamers out there, the thrill just ain’t what it used to be.

They’ve been pretty quiet...
Finally. It's here. Grand Theft Auto V is one of this medium's most anticipated games of, well, ever.

Take-Two has let the world know what it thinks of releasing annual or bi-annual video game series: not for Grand Theft Auto. While speaking at a Wedbush Securities conference, Take-Two Interactive's Chief Operating Officer Karl Slatoff, spoke in turn as to why Take-Two and Rockstar North do not develop more frequent Grand Theft Auto games. "To us, that doesn't make sense, because...
The circle is now complete. The last of the PlayStation 2 era Grand Theft Auto games will be released through the PlayStation Store as a PlayStation 2 Classic. Joining the ranks of Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas comes the game that proved the series was more than just a passing fad, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Max Payne 3 is the first game in the trilogy that was not created by Remedy Entertainment. Rockstar Games are the folks responsible for the publishing and development of Max's newest romp.
