'Grand Theft Auto V' Makes $800 Million In Its First 24 Hours

For a chance at being that one person, you will have to head over to the GameStop website and enter . It's set up in an old fashioned new-tractor-at-the-county-fair style lottery, only instead of dollars the currency used is "PowerUp Rewards Points." 1 entry costs 200 points, 7 entries costs 1,000 points and 15 entries costs 2,000 points. Sadly, if you don't have a GameStop account and have no points, you can only enter zero times. This is truly an exclusive that GameStop was lucky to sc

The big movie news cannot be ignored: Sony decided it will not go forward with it's plans to release The Interview, a Seth Rogen film about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Sony was hacked and received threats, while the number of respectable movie chains who would take the film was dwindling. All at once, the internet (save for a few rogue supporters) cried out about free speech, bowing to terrorist demands and all-around support for Rogen and his now-canceled film. The equally troubling news is that no one cares when this happens to a video game.

Grand Theft Auto V was always destined to make a ton of cash being one of, if not the biggest franchise in all of gaming. It was certainly going to need to after becoming the most expensive video game ever produced. Bloomberg had predicted that the franchise would make a billion within its first month, which seems to be a somewhat misjudged prediction now. Mostly because, after becoming one of the highest rated games of all-time , it should reach the billion mark point in just its first two d

To reiterate, this car can be yours - but before you get all excited, you should be aware that the chance of it being yours is insanely slim, as this car is a one-of-a-kind. You can't buy it, you can't rent it, and you certainly can't steal a bumble-bee colored one for Brucie Kibbutz. Only one person will ever have the privilege of driving around while perhaps listening to some of the tracks slated to be on Los Santos' radio stations in a Banshee they can actually call their own. (For what it's worth, I recommend listening to Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" from Los Santo's classic rock station to the future winn

Tweets about Hatred are much more skewed, and conversation about GTA V, much discussed in the video game press, seems to paint a two-sided issues. Defense of Target's decision as not censorship and a positive step toward equality were just as rampant, if not more so, than concerns over the kind of precedent their move set. Consider this, if it's not censorship for Target to pull the game, what if all retailers pulled the game? It's well within their rights, but it would achieve the exact same effect as a blatant censorship did. Thus, a de facto censorship - a universal lack of availability that's not necessarily enforced by law.

Trevor's actor was also asked how he felt about the infamous torture scene, in which he replied that since "it was one of the most technical scenes [in the game] so I didn't feel much about it." He had to concentrate so intensely on pulling off the difficult scene that he had no time to feel outraged, upset or really any other emot

For plenty of gamers who plied their trade in Grand Theft Auto 4 , Niko Bellic just wasn't much of a relatable character. Thankfully, someone thought of a great idea - why not replace him with a giraffe, which is clearly a more relatable character for the average person. The video above demonstrates exactly why giraffes are kept in cages - because let loose, their murderous killing streak and godlike strength ascends into something far, far more horrifying. The way the giraffe's neck stiffly defies physics, coupled with the fact that gamers are, you know, playing as a giraffe as they murder and steal cars, make this mod eerily unsettling to watch. Consider our trip to the zoo cancel

The first question the actors were asked was how there first got involved with the game and their feelings on it. Fonteno felt that "it was an honor to be here" and Ogg reportedly said, upon seeing the script, that "ain't nobody else doing it." Luke elaborated on the experience itself as being "really intense and very physical." Apparently the actors auditioning for the role took it very seriously, which is a great th

Later on, Luke and Fonteno reinforced the fact that the gig required large amounts of imagination because other than the occasional prop, there was nothing in the room. Ogg adds that the script for GTA V is brilliant and that it could have easily been 3500 pa

With MotorTrend.com listing the retail value of just a 2013 SRT Viper at somewhere between a cool $97,395 - $120,395, one could only imagine the value of this one-of-a-kind car. With that knowledge, I just hope the winner doesn't get too into the GTA 5 walkthrough|Https://gta5Play.com/ spirit and explode a hotdog stand or irreparably destroy their Banshee within three minutes of driving

As they say, the reason it might seem familiar is because of its prominent appearance in the opening of GTA III . Since then, it has appeared in every other GTA game. Keen-eyed gamers may remember it from its most recent iteration as the car you drive when you chase the back-stabbing garbageman Luca Silvestri to his death in GTA IV and as the car Lenny Petrovic is driving before you riddle him with bullets. They also may remember it as the car you can sell for a measly $800 in scrap metal in GTA Chinatown Wa
