In the end, what we got was a seemingly fair distribution of awards with GTA V winning the Best Game, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag winning the Best Action/Adventure, BioShock Infinite winning Best Shooter and Naughty Dog winning the Best Stu

Moving on to GTA 5 News V's setting - it's big. Actually, big is a completely insufficient word to describe Rockstar's new and improved Los Santos. Art Director, Aaron Garbut, explains that "When you include interior and exterior spaces together, Los Santos is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption , San Andreas and GTA IV combined, with room to spare." That statement boggles the mind. However impressive that fact may be, we can only hope that Rockstar isn't merely aiming for quantity, with GTA V .

After the main questions, there was a Q&A session with the fans doling out the questions. One question asked the actors if they could pick any other character from any game to voice, who would they choose. Fonteno, unsurprisingly, would voice CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . He even hinted at a future event with CJ and Franklin, but the details remain a mystery. Ogg wants to voice Mario from the Super Mario Bros. series. Luke, answering in true Trevor fashion, would play the Blue Ghost from Pac

Previously known as the Spike Video Game Awards (VGAs), the show has had a lick of paint over the last year being re-branded as VGX . While it put bigger focus on reveals such as a new generation remaster of Tomb Raider and Telltale Games taking on both Game of Thrones and Borderland s episodic series, the entire affair was still framed by awa

All three of GTA V's protagonists will also be able engage in several side activities. However, Rockstar wanted to give Michael, Trevor and Franklin certain unique hobbies, exclusive to them. What those specific hobbies are remains a mystery but Rockstar did mention that activities such as yoga, Jet Skiing, tennis, triathlons, base-jumping and golf will feature in the game. Rockstar also said that the core gameplay mechanics found in GTA V , such as driving, shooting and melee combat have largely been rebuilt from the ground up.

I completely agree with Houser's stance and wish more people in both the games industry and the animated film industry would understand this point. For years now, we have witnessed Hollywood lean on famous voice talent in order to more effectively market expensive animated films - a strategy which has been adopted by the games industry; Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls , which stars Ellen Page of Juno and Inception fame, being one of the most current examples of this.

Next up, the actors were asked about the nature of their relationship with the group of workers. It seems that Fonteno thinks highly of his fellow colleagues, as he warmly said that Luke is like "a brother from another mother" and Ogg is the "father he never had," although initially it was weird at first, for him, because they both had "different colored sk

The studio's reluctance to pursue big name actors likely has as much to do with outrageous wage demands and ego trips as it does with authenticity. Tommy Vercetti's Ray Liotta reportedly made life difficult during his tenure in the recording booth for GTA Vice City , veering between Goodfella s-like excellence and other less-than-stellar cond

It was an incredibly strong showing for games this year with three major 'Game of the Year' contenders in Grand Theft Auto V , The Last of Us and BioShock Infinite all hogging the nominations. In fact, the program featured close categories throughout with Game of the Year, Studio of the Year, Best Independent Game and acting categories being especially tight ca

What say you? Do you think VGX correctly called game of the year? Is there any other category you particularly disagree with? Stick up for your game of choice in the comments below, but just remember to play n

Prepare to wave goodbye to your social life (and workplace attendance figures); **GTA V ** is very nearly upon us. The latest entry in the award-winning criminal sim franchise, the series' fifth core installment arrives later this month to cap off the 7th gen of consoles in st

That said, there's hardly much to complain about in Julio's mod; and if you keep watching, you'll even see Iron Man perform an elbow drop into a tank and swat a flying helicopter to the ground. The destruction factor is fun, entertaining, and spectacular, but it provides only a tease of what the character is capable of in terms of story and developm

Along with a stock market where players can go from rags to riches, Strangers and Freaks side missions, and the general multiplayer gameplay of GTA Online , players have rarely been stuck with nothing to do. Yet with so many GTA V players having completed the game's story mode, fans are still asking if Rockstar will add more single player content into the g

Shifting the game's hype train into high gear, developer Rockstar has been hard at work filling in our news feeds as of late, touting everything from radio station teases , to brand-new trailers and even a recreation of the GTA III Banshee sportscar . Now, the studio behind the mammoth sandbox franchise is sitting down to discuss the game's unusually sourced voice w
