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

The NPD Group released their full statistics and chart for January 2016, with the top 10-selling physical releases for January 2016 listed below (platform listings for each title are ordered by top-selling platfo

The popular franchise has proven a suitable playground for modification, most notably by JulioNIB , who put Hulk and Spider-Man in GTA IV a few years back. And now, the modder has created an impressive and authentic Iron Man mod for GTA V that proves why the hero is so fit for the gaming screen. Check out the video ab

The Batman: Arkham video game series did for gaming what Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy __ did for film: it fully realized the medium as a dynamic, complex, and accolade-worthy platform for superheroes, while still maintaining the respective franchise's impressive scope. It's a wonder, then, that more video game producers have yet to capitalize on this same success, or try their hand at comic book inspired games - especially considering the current cape-and-cowl trend dominating cine

Minecraft is no stranger to user-made modifications, and plenty of horror-based modifications already exist for the recently-acquired property . However, one game modification which wasn't intended to be scary in any way ended up outdoing them all, and we're not ashamed to say we may have fallen out of a chair when we first heard this mod. When one man set out on a quest to make the Minecraft creepers sound like the character Lemon Grab from Adventure Time , he unknowingly created a noise that would make even Herobrine think twice about ever stepping foot outside in the dark ag

The one new release to chart for the month was LEGO Marvel's Avengers - in one note however, The NPD Group explained that if the chart were organized purely by the highest-selling SKU (rather than combined platform sales), last month's _Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam _ for 3DS would have charted at

Following its dominance for overall game sales in 2015, Call of Duty: Black Ops III once again took the crown for the top game sales of January 2016 with Xbox One as its top selling platform, while several regulars like Grand Theft Auto V , Minecraft , and the EA Sports franchises all took a place on the cha

It should be clear that though the modders who make use of OpenIV may not be using the tool to impact the experience for other players online, the shutdown of modding tools by Take-Two Interactive does not distinguish between the tools that affect the multiplayer experience and those that do not. We will be following the story for updates concerning the closing of gta 5 Collectibles modding tools, as well as possible statements to come from Take-Two Interact

Following a busy holiday season filled with new releases, January is typically seen as a bit of a "slower" time of the year for new game releases, with the last month's results from game sales tracker The NPD Group posting their list of the top selling titles for January 2016, which is largely dominated by many familiar fa

In the hopes of delivering a message to Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, fans of the OpenIV modding tool have amassed over 40 thousand signatures on their Change.org petition . The petition states that thousands of players have both lost the ability to mod their game and to pursue their passion for single-player modd

Complete with flight capabilities and repulsor beams, the mod does far more than provide players an Iron Man Mark III skin; it lets players become Iron Man and utilize some of his signature weaponized powers. These include the ability to hover a few feet above the ground, rocket punch enemies and vehicles with ease, soar through the air at a great speed using both glove and boot rockets, and fire rocket blasts from his chest reactor. One of the only faculties really missing in the mod, aside from Tony Stark's silver-tongued wit and irresistible charm, is the character's shoulder-mounted guns and flares - oh, and of course, Jar

This is it. When bad people die, they go into this game modification and are forced to live it out forever. The second Skyrim modification on our list takes a classic and nostalgic childhood symbol, the lovable Thomas The Tank Engine, and makes the toot-tooting educational symbol a horrifying, fire-breathing murderer. It's not this blatant attack on our childhood memories that makes it horrifying, it's the steadfast unblinking eyes and unwavering smile that make Thomas The Tank Engine one of the most horrifying things we've ever seen. As he toot-toots his way into your nightmares, gamers can be sure Thomas has no remorse. There are no tears. There are only tra
