Grand Theft Auto V

CHICAGO – Sometimes you get a freebie. While seemingly millions of other players were cursing the house that Houser built, stuck waiting for “Grand Theft Auto: Online” to load the first tutorial mission, I was already in and playing a day after launch.

CHICAGO – Despite being a massive game, the best parts of “Grand Theft Auto V” are the little details: The way whiskey sloshes around in a glass, how characters show up to cut scenes in their custom saved cars, how surfboards litter the beaches, the numerous dynamic touches like the radio updating you on a given happening you had a hand in, as well as little narrative details that hint at “GTA V” being about something a little bigger than it lets on.

CHICAGO – It has been over three years since the release of “Grand Theft Auto IV,” and fans of the very popular video game series finally have something to look forward to. Rockstar Games released the first trailer of “Grand Theft Auto V” on their website this morning, giving a vague look at the possible characters, setting, and storyline of the newest GTA game.

CHICAGO – After months and months of speculation, “Grand Theft Auto V” has officially been announced as in production by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive Software. Rockstar Games started the hype for the next game in the very popular open-world franchise when they changed their sites to an image of the game’s logo with the words “Trailer 11.02.11.”
