If the volume of pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto V are a testament to anything, it’s to the success of Grand Theft Auto IV and the virtually endless fun of driving fast and causing chaos (or occasionally just watching Ricky Gervais stand-up gigs) in Liberty City. In the five years since the game’s release we’ve watched unit sales steadily tick their way up through the millions, but it’s now been confirmed that Grand Theft Auto IV has reached a significant (as significant as arbitrary numbers can get, anyway) point in its history....

When is the Birds of Prey review embargo lifted? Though the social media embargo was lifted on January 29, critic reviews in newspapers, magazines, and outlets online are still embargoed until closer to the film’s release date. Previously, a late review embargo was a strong indication that a studio was trying to limit the damage that bad reviews would bring to a movie, but with blockbusters (particularly those about superheros) it has become standard practice to prevent spoilers from being revealed too soon....

The DLC will remain the same, offering four remastered zombie levels from World at War: Nacht der Ãœntoten, Verrückt, Shi No Numa and Der Riese. Of course the cherry on top of this DLC is the new ‘Moon’ level, offering low gravity zombie blasting mayhem. Those who bought the Hardened and Prestige editions of Black Ops for PS3/PC will get this DLC for free just like their Xbox 360 counterparts....

343 Industries’ response to the leak, however, was one of swift vengeance and they, along with Microsoft, promised that any gamer caught online without a legitimate copy (i.e. not a member of the press) would suffer the wrath of the ban hammer. Following right along in Halo 4’s unexpected footsteps it was revealed over the weekend that Black Ops 2, arguably the most highly anticipated title of the year, has also leaked onto torrent sites....

Unlike the first Destiny grinding spot which quite literally took the form of a cave, ‘Loot Cave’ has since been appropriated to encompass any exploit that involves endlessly respawning enemies. From an in-game easter egg to a Cave Shooting Simulator, the term has quickly achieved trope status. While none of The Pre-Sequel’s Loot Caves take the form of actual caves, there’s no denying that they’re instances that are ripe for exploitation....

[HTML1] Listen, kiddos. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is coming to to PC and last-gen consoles later this year and we couldn’t be more excited about this next/previous chapter in the vibrant, violent Borderlands franchise. While sequels are often about adding more features, one thing that’s been dialled back quite a bit in this pre-sequel is the gravity, since the story takes place on the bouncy landscape of the moon. 2K Australia provided an early look at the new verticality offered in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel in a demo at E3 2014 (which we got the chance to try out), and the studio has now released a full video of that demo accompanied by commentary from producers Joel Eschler and James Lopez....

There is little doubt that having a lot of gaming paraphernalia is great, and in that department, Borderlands 2 does not disappoint.

“We have to look at those that are supporting candidates like Senator Sinema and Senator Manchin and begin to target them,” 64-year-old King told Newsweek. The two Democrats joined Republicans last week to scupper Joe Biden’s bid to reform the Senate filibuster rule, something which the president hoped would help a federal voting rights bill, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, pass. King said there would be further pressure put on Democratic Senators over their stance....

The company sparked outrage on Monday after a tweet that many are calling “revolting” and “gross.” “You’re in their DMs. We’re in them. We are not the same,” the tweet read. The tweet received more than 337,000 likes and 43,700 retweets from fans who thought the joke was creative while others attacked the company for “sexualizing” tampons. Other users called the person responsible for the tweet a “pervert” and shared their negative opinions about the viral joke....

The new film is based on her story of trying to break out of the cycle of bad food, drinking and partying by taking up running long distances. O’Neill’s became Brittany Runs a Marathon after she moved in with friend Paul Downs Colaizzo, who was looking for a project to turn into a movie.

Call Messi! Barca must keep Leo happy Known by many as the man who ‘fought’ Apollo Creed’s son in the latest Rocky franchise movie, Bellew drove former world heavyweight champion Haye, the overwhelming favourite to win at London’s O2 Arena, to throw the towel in the 11th round. Haye suffered an ankle injury midway through the bout but battled on against increasingly unlikely odds, and Bellew, 34, finished off his 36-year-old opponent with a second knockdown....

However, in more recent titles, talking protagonists have started appearing and in BioShock: Infinite, the bar may be set even higher with Booker DeWitt. The emotional connection between the hero and his charge can be very powerful. The Sony titles, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are great examples of that strong bond. In BioShock: Infinite, the bond between Booker and Elizabeth will be a driving force for the narrative and also serve as emotional motivator to save the girl....

It was a decision and a sacrifice that Irrational’s Ken Levine was willing to make if it meant the end product was going to be successful. He knew that gamers already interested in BioShock Infinite would use previews from press events and new trailers to fuel their enthusiasm, but the only way to grab the “Call of Duty” crowd was with a box cover that was to the point....
