Michael, Trevor and Franklin: 3 faces of GTA 5
Rockstar have released three trailers introducing the three heroes of Grand Theft Auto V. While many publishers may have chosen to spread the videos over time, Take Two and Rockstar have decided to unveil three simultaneously, putting the shot focus on an important aspect of GTA 5: there are three protagonists. Each have their own part in the plot, and stories will intersect as you play. The player will be able to move from character to character whenever they want.
Dracula IV: The Shadow of the Dragon Unveiled
Anuman Interactive have released their first trailer for the next entry in the fan-favourite Dracula adventure series, as well as a set of images.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Coming to PS3 this Summer
It may be a few years late, and a completely different game to that we were expecting, but Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is finally making it to the PlayStation 3. The PS3 release will coincide with the PC re-release.

A slightly more solid release window is a hint that things are well on their way to improving within the world of Eorzea.

Mars War Logs tells the story of a planet in the midst of a civil war. In a world where water is scarce, corporations battle…
Okami Announcement Likely for Japan Only, Not a Game
The official Okami Twitter account fired up last week, teasing an announcement for the beginning of golden week, a set of holidays in Japan. Although the same Twitter account was quick to confirm it would not be a new game, it hasn’t stopped people getting excited for the possibility of an HD port of Okamiden or an iOS release of the original PS2 classic. Capcom have today confirmed that’s not the case, and that actually, the announcement is probably Japanese-only.…
Grand Theft Auto In Real Life
Forget Grand Theft Auto V, the best Grand Theft Auto experience can be had just by jumping in a car and doing some really reckless stuff. I'm sure that wasn't the intention of the gentleman in this video, but the addition of the GTA IV HUD and a few well-timed sound effects make things even crazier than they were to begin with.
