Game: Grand Theft Auto 5. Publisher: Rockstar Games Developer: Rockstar North. Platforms: Xbox 360 (Used for review), PS3. Release date: September 16th, 2013. Rating: 18's (Excessive violence, language, partial nudity and references to narcotics and alcohol.)  There's an old saying, finish what you started. I believe this is rather true, as another saying, the past can bite you in the a** works in tandem with the earlier saying. For Michael DeSanta, or previously known as Michael Townley before faking his own death and going into witness protection, this is painstakingly true. Having formally been a stick up man, Michael now lives in the s

Do you ever get that deep, sinking and cold feeling that runs through your body like all of the heat and warmth around you and in you is just sucked up? I do. Always have and I say I always will have these horrible sort of... shivers. Granted they can be far and few apart, but by God do they strike hard when they come. Before you think "Oh you're tired." or "Oh you're just sick so you're cold." No, no, this has nothing to do with physical illness or pain or anything like that. What I'm talking about is depression... or maybe I'm not? Who knows, this is only speaking from personnel experience. Every time I get these "cold periods" is really an

Grand Theft Auto... if you were to say this to a concerned parent, avid gamer, or some conservative old fart who still uses a phone from the 1890's, then you would get a large amount of reactions. The concerned parents for one would blame their children becoming excessively foul mouthed and aggressive, the parents "unable" to control them from being so terrible, yet that is essentially what they're supposed to do... you know, something called parenting. The old fart however would then proceed to tell you that crimes have escalated recently, pulling support of his claim from the release and distribution of Grand Theft Auto and various other vi

(Game- Sleeping Dogs.) (Platform- Xbox 360.) (Publisher- Square Enix.) (Developers- United Front Games & Square Enix London.) Hong Kong. A sprawling, dense city that is situated within various islands linked together. Being one of the worlds most densely populated cities, would this be an attractive place to crate an open-world game? To United Front Games and Square Enix, it was. Sleeping Dogs, once part of the True Crime series, was bought by Square Enix and renamed Sleeping Dogs, an open-world sandbox game with bullet time gunplay and mixed martial arts hand-to-hand combat. While being a city that is usually untouched by the video game ind

(Game- Mass Effect 1.) (Platform- Xbox 360.) (Publisher- Microsoft Studios.) (Developer- Bioware.) Space travel. It has been something many people have always dreamt of, it has been an idea of scientists everywhere to create crafts that could move faster then the speed of light, being able to touch the entire galaxy and all of its star systems…however; we are constrained to rockets that are used only for shipping supplies to nearby space stations that can only handle a few people on them…but thanks to video games, we are allowed to dream of the potential of space travel if we used a certain material that could make crafts move

(Game- Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.) (Platform played on- Xbox 360.) (Developer- Pandemic.) (Publisher- EA) Simply because one of two things will occur…The first possible outcome of this action is that a trained mercenary will hunt you down, stopping at nothing to finally exact revenge on you for double crossing you…Or Pandemic will develop a game that has shoddy driving mechanics, piss poor sounding guns, AI that spends it’s time staring at you with the intent on killing you yet not even coming close, a health system that is ludicrous, a cast of voice actors (Some however are excluded.) who give the most stereotyped a

The definition of insanity was famously quoted by one Albert Einstein, the famous German theoretical physicist, saying “Insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.” In Ubisoft Montreal’s Far Cry 3, the definition of insanity has been used to both promote the game and deliver the games core feature…the human mind can be a very odd place, and can make you do tremendous achievements. So, yes, Far Cry 3 explores the ever present mind and how one can be insane, or merely adapt into a state of insanity…Okay, enough of this deep bollocks, I just gotta break some “professiona

“If it’s hostile, you kill it.” One of the soundest pieces of advice one could give anyone as grotesque mutants start to crawl through air vents and attacking you, equipped with only a revolver. Metro 2033 is a game where that phrase will pop up in your head quite a bit as you play through it’s dark and dingy train tunnels and are constantly besieged by more mutants, some rather manageable, like the bolting nosalises that can be taken down in a shot or two from either your revolver or shotgun…to the ever annoying and rather frustrating lurker, their introduction being a rather strong slap to the face since your

As both Chris and Miranda talked nonchalantly and rather casually, Mark made his way over to the two, putting back on his hoody and readjusting his clothes. "I really hate how these 'big shots' think they can get rid of us like a pimp would get rid of hookers." Chris gave a nod as Mark sat down, wincing as he did so. "Oh god damn it… you used it too fast again, didn't you dumbass…" Mark scowled at Miranda and gave a nod. A sigh escaped Miranda's mouth as she stood up, adjusting her dress skirt as she walked over. "It's the right shoulder…" She gave a nod as he put her hands on his left shoulder, beginning to rub it softly as
