GTA V Delayed until September

Posted on January 31, 2013 by Jason Nason

Rockstar Games put up a small announcement on their website this morning to share with their fans that upcoming game Grand Theft Auto V, which is their hugely anticipated title, will not be released in the spring as they had originally announced. The game will be pushed back four months and will not hit store shelves on September 17th, 2013.

“We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you,” the letter wrote. “GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.”Read More

The 2012 Top Five

Posted on January 13, 2013 by Jason Fayta

Editor’s note: Staff at Broken Joysticks will be sharing their top five games, or game related stories, from 2012 throughout the week. We’re starting the feature with the top five from our contributing reviewer, Jason Fayta.

It’s hard to believe 2012 is over, and it’s equally hard to believe we’re already two weeks into 2013. Overall, I found 2012 to be a solid year for releases, but I can’t say there was a title I was completely enamored with, which lead to some difficulty in rounding out my top five releases from the year. However, as I went through my playing history, certain games began to stand out as titles I found most compelling, regardless of their flaws. So, without further ado, the top five…

Grand Theft Auto V To Be Released On March 26th?

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Grand Theft Auto V has been on our most wanted list for the last few months, ever since RockStar Games dropped the brand new trailer and plot details we’ve wanted to know when we would have it in our hands.

According to a recently updated Amazon page the game could be released on March 26th.The listing was originally spotted by the folks over at Collider. It is important to note that until Rockstar announces an official date for GTAV this should be considered rumor. I wouldn’t book off an end of March holiday just yet.

GTA V Trailer 2 Analysis Video

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Jesse Lord

Let’s talk a bit about a little video game franchise you guys may have heard about.

For those that might not know, my love for all things Grand Theft Auto runs quite deep.  I helped to start GTA Hood, the IGN Grand Theft Auto portal site, and worked there from the beginning until IGN decided to shut all portal sites down earlier this year.  I’ve had the chance to visit Rockstar Games on three different occasions as a result of working with the site, to preview their upcoming games (EfLC expansion/Red Dead Redemption, L. A. Noire and Max Payne 3), and at these fansite events I had a chance to meet and interface with other major players in the Rockstar/GTA fansite world.  When IGN did decide to close the doors of GTA Hood, I knew I wanted to reach out to one of the other fansite owners and see if I could join their ranks.  Long story short, I ended up landing at GTANet, home to GTA game-specific sites and also the owner of GTAForums, the largest GTA forum on the interwebs.

So why am I telling you this?  Why should you care?Read More

GTA: Vice City Celebrates 10 Years of Crime Sprees

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Maybe I’m just getting old but it is hard to believe that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City launched a decade ago today. Premiering just one year after the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City transported us back two decades, to 1980s Miami. In celebration the game will be available on mobile platforms including Apple’s IOS!

I remember being so excited for the game back in high school. It was the one game that all of my friends were talking about at the time. Our excitement reached fever pitch when we set up a projector with a 20 FT screen and played in to the wee hours of the morning, committing unspeakable crimes! What is your fondest memory of the GTA Series? Love it or hate it, it has been a part of the gaming zeitgeist for almost two decades now!

Alongside a YouTube trailer, which you can watch here, RockStar provided us with a press release for the 10th anniversary of Vice City. Check it out below:Read More

Oh Rockstar, how we love you and your flagship Grand Theft Auto series.  You tease us so, giving us little nibbles of information, and we lap it up, hoping and praying to appease you into giving us just a little bit more.  Just a little bit more.  Well, the theory seems to have worked a bit, since Rockstar have released three more screens at the Grand Theft Auto V website and also on the Rockstar Newswire in a post titled “Leisure.”  So feast your eyes on the awesome:Read More
