The day has come with the piece of info we’ve all been waiting for: the official release date for Grand Theft Auto V.  With only a vague Spring release date given by Rockstar Games, the chatterbox minds of gamers, and those within the press, were wondering when the game would grace our console of choice.  Certain retailers of course jumped the gun by posting temporary release dates which were far from the mark (hi Amazon.com), but now we have the truth: GTA V will come out this September.

Today is one of those special days in which the entire gaming community across the globe eagerly awaits something and then in turn decides to watch a particular trailer at the same time causing a potential meltdown of the internet. Such a thing may seem like it’s a stretch to imagine, but it’s somewhat expected when a new trailer for a Grand Theft Auto game is released.  After receiving the debut trailer last November, Rockstar has finally released the second, and more story centric trailer, for Grand Theft Auto V.

The hardware may be impressive, but the PlayStation Vita hasn’t exactly set the world on fire thanks to an uneven software library. There may be some standout games for the Vita, including the exceptional LBP entry, though games that capture a wide audience are still a rarity of sorts.  Sony may not have done the best job at marketing and showing what the future has in store for the Vita, but one studio that is reportedly supporting the device is Rockstar Games.

Earlier this week Rockstar Games did us a solid by releasing some new screenshots of Grand Theft Auto V. I know that a video game developer releasing media isn’t exactly breaking new ground, but considering how starved some gamers have been for any sort of GTA V update and the general secrecy Rockstar usually has about their projects it was nonetheless nice to see the game in some way, however limited it may have been.

The Hype Cycle Begins: New GTAV Screens Released + Tease Of Upcoming Announcement

Usually it’s not good to over hype a mere media release, especially when it’s only a few screenshots, but in the case of GTAV such a thing is expected. Ten months removed from when we were greeted with the premier trailer, Rockstar has kept quiet as always when it comes to GTAV but today three new screens were released.

GTAV is still enigmatic as always, more so after Take Two’s investors call yesterday which featured the usual amount of question dodging.  Rockstar is no doubt tirelessly working away on GTAV to wow us soon, but when will we see something for the game, whether it’s a brilliantly crafted trailer or a mere screenshot? Rockstar did give us a small tease with some new screenshots, but when will the traditional hype machine begin for the game?

We’ve been patiently waiting or something to be released since November and at long last Rockstar Games has given us our second look at Grand Theft Auto V.  Released today totally unexpectedly, we have two new in-game screenshots showing us the glorious and ever beautiful place that is Los Santos.  Seeing two simple screenshots may not be as epic as a grand trailer that shows us the world of Los Santos in great detail, but at this point I’m sure gamers will grab whatever GTAV media is given to them.

Max Payne 3 [Review]

Overall Feeling: 

The various churning gears in Max Payne 3 result in one of the best action games to ever be released. Filled with action that has a glint of realism to it while channeling the spirit of classic Hong Kong cinema, Max Payne 3 is an action game that knows what its strengths are and simply plays those up in such a way that they never falter during the single-player campaign. From the acting to how the combat feels and how thought out the multiplayer modes are its almost unreal how good Max Payne 3 is since it delivers on all fronts.

The Pros: 

+ Gun combat feels amazing in how the weapons react and how easy aiming is.

+ Graphics have loads of detail and small touches which make the world actually feel tangible.

+ The narrative may not have a GTA amount of depth to it, but Max’s dialog and the tone of the game is perfect for a Max Payne adventure.

+ The acting in the game is perfect as it feels completely natural and James McCaffrey is once again amazing as Max Payne.

+ Multiplayer modes bring some traditional goodness while instilling a mindset in gamers that isn’t CoD: Favela Edition.

The Cons: 

- Certain action segments may be too much for some people in how suddenly outlandish they can be.

- The special camera effects used during cutscenes can be a bit much at times.

When something is taken from someone that can sometimes result in the person being broken to the point where they have no reason to live.  How is someone supposed to move on in their life when something they’ve cherished has been taken away from them, perhaps in an unjust way?  With Max Payne 3 gamers found themselves in a rare situation in which their feelings echoed those of the protagonist, this time a grizzled ex-cop with a penchant for hard liquor.

It may sound insane to imagine that a developer would wait until a month and a half before a game is released to finally show off the multiplayer elements. These days having a multiplayer mode is almost mandatory no matter what the game is so not showing what sort of online action gamers can engage in may seem a bit illogical. But in the grand scheme of Rockstar Games holding back on showing the multiplayer element of Max Payne 3 made sense and they could simply do such a thing without receiving grief since most of us knew in the end the product would be worth it.

Right now everyone is in a crazed state of sorts about the madness that is going on at GDC. The show itself may not be as massive as E3, but with fresh hands-on opportunities with games like Sonic 4: Episode 2, Lollipop Chainsaw, and certain games that are embargoed until next week there’s a lot going on. But amidst the game reveals that are being made at GDC, which includes the welcomed surprise of a new Sim City game, some rumors have reared their head concerning the next great king in the sandbox genre: GTAV.
