Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

"How many games can you say you were creating a rocket powered car that had hundreds of turret on the front one minute and building a huge complicated chain reaction of boulders and explosions the next? Garry’s mod hands you a huge bunch of tools and give you the freedom to do whatever the heck you want with them. Also running behind the graphics is the source engine so the physics yet again are spot on. The community that is behind the game is what makes the game even more incredible releasin..."

The trailer is out for GTA V. But there were only hints of what the game is about. The biggest question Goozernation asks is, will the game be like San Andreas? Will it have the customization? Will there be co-op? How about a multiple arc story? Each GTA game in the series was better then the last, what will GTA V bring? No matter the answers this is going to be a great game.

In this day and age there are still some timeless classics in gaming. Games that can be played anytime and anywhere. To some the classics include RPGs, to other's the games are timeless Nintendo and Sega games. Here are a few examples from the long list that Goozernation has: Baldur's Gate, Final Fantasy VII, Power Stone, Mortal Kombat II, Super Mario 3, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario 64, and GTA San Andreas.

All Age Gaming's John Elliott brings us the 7th developer profile. This fortnight he looks at the Grand Theft Auto series developer Rockstar Games. See inside for a look into the famous multi-platform developer.

"When God of War was released on the PS2 in March of 2005 (pre-dating San Andreas), there were no secrets about a particular scene in the game where you interacting with a couple of nude women in order to, ahem, knock that vase off the table. Although the actual exploits of Kratos as he relaxed in his pad were not entirely shown, there were extended topless scenes that some claimed were unnecessary and inappropriate. Some conservatives have claimed to enjoy the game play, but still rated it a..."

"At anytime there’s a highly anticipated game, a article like this will certainly pop up. After GTAIV was released, a hell of a lot of people were disappointed and confused. A hefty amount of people were confused because the game got many perfect review scores but the game was far from perfect."

Neoseeker's Lydia Sung aka RabidChinaGirl has a special Special up today in light of everyone's favourite holiday invented by greeting card companies...

Consider it a retort of sorts to GG's earlier article Top Ten Games To Play With Your Valentine -- this one's got breasts and guns and explosions and stuff.

Enjoy!

By now I'm sure we're all aware of Resident Evil 5's racism issue, but racial stereotyping is an issue that seems to go beyond beyond just one game.
Darion White, from Edge Online, takes a look at the way black characters are portrayed in video games, both the positive portrayals and the negative ones.
The article mostly focuses on newer titles, such as Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4, while also taking a look at the games of a decade ago, including Final Fantasy...

GameInformer, the popular magazine about all things gaming that has somewhere near three million subscribers, always has a different game on the cover each time. MTV wanted to see if there was a GI cover curse, so they looked back into the past and pulled out magazines from 2-3 years ago.

One game titled Superman Returns didn't so well, receiving 6/10's. That's nothing compared to Fear and Respect, which was at one point on a GI cover, but ended up being canceled!

All in all, the game...

An extremely refreshing article by the folks over at GameRevolution showing how as violent videogames are on the rise - violent crime rates are actually falling (and at record rates). So take that Jack Thompson, Take that Connecticut Senator Gayle Slossberg. For those ignorant fools who still will not believe these facts (not that there are any here on GG and Neo, but...) there are pretty and colorful charts, and after all a picture is worth a thousand words.

Cristism. Everyone needs it and while Grand Theft Auto IV was being praises with a 10/10 from IGN and living up to the hype, somebody from video gamer sat in their basement to write up a blog on all the wrong things of the game. He relates the new to the old, basically and how Rockstar changed things...for the worse. Go to the source to read full details, but the changes that he doesn't like in the game are the 'too-realistic' driving, harsh cops, the world, the bad combat, the overall fun(wh...

"10) Body Bags

El Castillo del Diablo, Bone County, San Andreas

San Andreas may be a harsh and grizzly place, but it’s a bit of a shock to find you’re not the only reason. Somebody is up to very bad things, and using a cave tucked away in the desert to dump the remains - in a pile of horribly stiff body bags. Oddly, the serial killer’s truck is still there too, parked right where the bodies were presumably slung from its bed. You can find this worrying little scene directly south of the ..."

"Heroes, cities and decades change, but in the world of Grand Theft Auto, the hard-working hooker will forever remain. No matter what the year or console, we can always count on her to patrol our virtual streets.

Isn't it time, then, that this beloved gaming icon received the spotlight she deserves? And more importantly, isn't it fun to laugh at really cruddy last-gen graphics? We think so - which is why we've rounded up every prostitute we could find and pitted them against each other in a..."

We all know that Hilary Clinton isn't too keen on mature video games, but who knew that they were going to be her main target upon winning the election? Yes, that's right, if Hilary is elected she isn't going to focus on America's big issues, like the Iraq war, economics, or health care.

She's going to target mature rating video games.

"How close was this deal to happening? Reporters at Variety (and, I have since learned, other publications) were preparing their stories based on conversations with the studio in question. Internally at Take 2, people were talking about it as a done deal. Then at the last minute, it all fell apart. I'm told Take 2 couldn't finalize terms with the studio, though I'm not sure if it was a purely financial issue or if, in the end, the publisher got cold feet about giving away rights to its baby.
