Grand Theft Auto

By Luke Plunkett The third, at the bottom, is perhaps the most interesting. It shows the attach rate for the entire modern GTA series. For GTAIII to San Andreas, the figures are just for the PS2 version, while for GTA IV it's for both 360 and PS3. It's not often we see stats like this, but surely 32% of PS3 owners ha...

Sure, the GTA inspired gameplay involves plenty of driving and consulting the GPS for main tasks and side-missions. But it all felt amazingly real. Completing each task is really hard work. Essentially this is because missions usually ...

By Lucas Paynter If someone were to tell me that Grand Theft Auto was to be, in part, responsible for the moral decay of this generation, I’d be reticent to disagree. The M rating should be saved for the worst-of-the-worst games. Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, Doom, Manhunt… these are things that should be...

By timeaisis GTAIV is the fourth installment in the series, and my first actual embarkment into the world that is sandbox-style Grand Theft Auto. The game itself has a compelling single player storyline, played out in missions where you meet realistically likable (and some unlikable) characters th...

By shandou Overall, Saints Row 2 is a good game, and worth buying. It is everything that GTA IV should've had, and vice versa. If the two ever merged, that'd be a GOTY contender for sure. If you know what the Grand Theft Auto series is about, the same goes for the Saints Row series. The

By karmum You are immediately greeted to a cut scene involving Niko Bellic, who is an Eastern European who fought in the Bosnian War. Niko Bellic is described as one who "sold people, killed people, and smuggled people." Niko Bellic is persuaded by Roman Bellic, his cousin, to come to America, for the...

By memphys512 GTA4 debuted on the PC and, and it made a big success when it appeared at this year on the Xbox 360 and PS3. But it was a huge surprise when Rockstar announced PC version and that was in a "Production" stady. From this moment the exlusive publisher remained silence on its most valuable franch...

By Tim Like most accounts of this title start of I will be no different in saying that this is by no means a Grand Theft Auto diversion or a GTA killer, instead it should be viewed as an alternative. But it still is worth picking up, or at least playing. I had doubts about the game but gave it a try. While I wa...

It's the highly anticipated sequel that seeks to emerge from the shadow of Grand Theft Auto IV. Well, it's good, but it simply isn't polished enough.

 CA - Forget GTA, Fable II is arguably the most debauched videogame you've ever played. Or, of course, it isn't. That really depends on your own moral compass, ...

By Edval GTA IV is great. Amazing graphics, an open world to explore, deep enviroments. The game feels alive, you actually feel like you're in a society... full of crazy people. Just like the real world! The good: The po-po is fair. In Vice City it required a miracle to scape from the cops 

By Joe Fourhman Chinatown Wars is trying to be as GTA as possible on the small screen, retaining the look and feel of the OG GTA while leveraging the featureset of the DS. As indicated by the title, this GTA focuses on the Chinatown section of Liberty City. The hero is Huang Lee, a member of the Triads. And althou...

Rockstar shows their love for the PC again with a massively up-res’ed version of Grand Theft Auto 4 due out in November, and the improvements and extra features might be enough to inspire even diehard console gamers to jack a computer and give Liberty City a visit on the PC.

By Sally B. Yes. Grand Theft Auto. For the DS. We haven't heard enough details concerning these games, however, but let's imagine how the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will look like. Will we see some option to deliver Chinese take-out as a way to earn money? How about hijacking bicycles? Will the prot...

Okay, I realize that any review that grants a game the high honor of an A+ is under the scrutiny of every reader.  They think, "Oh, a fanboy.  Great."  Well, you should know that I don't give a s--- whether you think I'm a GTA fanboy or not, but know this: the game is damn near perfect.  I have been a fa...

The bonus song that I don’t remember ever hearing in the game is an instrumental version of Seryoga’s “Liberty City: The Invasion,” which works equally well without the Russian rapper’s voice. Other standout tracks include “Gruppa krovi” which answers the question of what if the Psyche...

Ok, hands up. No, this is not a car-jacking, this is an informal poll. Who plunked down the extra bones for the super deluxe kick-ass limited edition of Grand Theft Auto IV? Yep, me too. Now granted, the real reason to get this version was the replica safety deposit box the game came packed in, bu...

By Dante All of which summarises the gameplay pretty simply, new features improve things, but many of the old annoyances remain, but those who love GTA don't do so for the gameplay, they do it to explore the world within, so how is that world? First off it's a lot smaller than San Andreas, and continu...

By Chris Okay, so if GameStop is any indication of how the rest of the retailers in the U.S. sold Grand Theft Auto IV, Microsoft saw its system cash in on 64% of sales for Rockstar’s game, while Sony only got 36% of the love in the game’s first week. But, as the numbers show, the PlayStation 3 actually had th...

By Ryan C. For those of us already enjoying Rockstar's very excellent Grand Theft Auto IV for the Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360, here's some more news about the multiplatform war: it seems that, according to GameStop's stats on the first week sales of the massive sandbox game, the Xbox 3...

By metroxing I am of course referring to Grand Theft Auto 4 – Liberty City. GTA San Andreas was warm, a friend even! 2 - Gang fight like in San Andreas Liberty City doesn’t. One thing we all know or will know is that Rockstar Games have changed history as we know it with Grand Theft Auto 4 Liberty City.

By beeslo I'll start off by stating my favorite thing about this game: the atmosphere. I simply cannot play Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, or San Andreas and receive a similar experience after playing GTA IV. None of those games delivers that same feeling of immersion; rather than merely placing yo...

By N'Gai Croal When I write a post about videogames on my NEWSWEEK.com blog, Level Up, my target audience is the sizable one that's already knowledgeable about the medium. The real challenge, however, comes when I return to the pages of the magazine. It's not easy to explain a game like Grand Theft Auto IV to...

So has the wait been worth it? I can honestly say that yes, it has. The jump from San Andreas to IV is just as big as GTA 2 to III, if not bigger. Rockstar managed to not only talk the talk but walk the walk, a feat that most developers now are plagued by. So what’s next for Grand Theft Auto? No one knows j...

By Gary Cutlack Well, GTA IV's out today. It actually happened. They made a new Grand Theft Auto game, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3, then put it in the shops. Good god, they actually went and did it. It's here! Men all over the country are scouring Currys for the few remaining unsold copies. So here's a review of G...

By Liz Shannon Miller I've been reading a fair number of print reviews for Grand Theft Auto IV over the past few days, because when a game has a Metacritic rating of 99 and the New York Times says that it "sets a new standard for what is possible in interactive arts," I try to pay attention. But it's been a while since I...

By Luke Plunkett Moment of Climax: "Grand Theft Auto IV doesn't just raise the bar for the storied franchise; it completely changes the landscape of gaming. Once you play it, you won't look at video games the same way again." My Score: 5/5. No, 6/5. It opens with "I now know how film critics felt after screening T...

By Griffin McElroy Is it too early to say that we're beginning to see a pattern develop here? We know that a mere handful of reviews for Rockstar's latest opus have been published, but should the current trend continue, Grand Theft Auto IV could be the subject of more perfect scores than 1976 Olympic gymnast N...

By MishoM Lastly, Amazon.com has posted the boxarts for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 special editions of GTA IV. They’re different from the normal game, and even different from each other.

By Posted by gamexxover It appears that there will be a 5 min mandatory download to the HDD for the PS3 version and the same download will be optional for the 360 version, If you have the room on your HDD I would recommend doing the download to speed up portions of the game.

By jgdsl Grand Theft Auto IV is a digital masterpiece. Period. You will like the Xbox 360 version of this game. You will like the PS3 version of this game. Technically, they are the same! However, there are some minor variations. To make these variations easier to read through, I will write 360 specific c...

By Brian Szabelski Four months after the PSP release, the PS2 gets its version of Vice City Stories. Unfortunately, after the release of the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Vice City Stories feels like a game that doesn't live up to it's potential.
