The GAEMS G155 Sentry Personal Gaming Environment doesn't get a whole lot of attention, but it's an essential piece of equipment in many a gamer's life, from college students to military personnel. You strap your Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 into the protective case, which sports its own screen and speakers, find a wall…
Even though the Japanese creators of this GTA V remake did everything to make Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's trailer less epic, thanks to the pitch-perfect execution they've just achieved the opposite.
Give humanity a game that lets them build and explore entire worlds and you can bet they'll use that power to...recreate pop culture locations.

It may not be the single craziest Grand Theft Auto V stunt I've ever seen. But this video of an enterprising GTA V player who jumped over 28 exploding buses still earned a special place in my heart for the clever reference to Evel Knievel.

I'm sure this guy has had some good games of Grand Theft Auto Online, where everything just went his way. This was not one of those games.

It's a really great way to prove how big and popular GTA V is, when someone uses it to recreate some classic album covers. Here's PizzaBagels' gallery, with Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon on top and Blondie, The Beatles and The Ramones below.

Japanese game publication Famitsu released a list of the biggest-selling video games in Japan between April 1, 2013 and April 3, 2014. It's mostly 3DS games, but the inclusion of one PS3 title might surprise you: Grand Theft Auto V.

Lego City Undercover was great and all, but there's just something about the contrast between GTA's gritty world and adorable Lego figures that makes me wish a game like this were really happening. One day. One day.

Modders don't wait. They take action. So while everyone else is waiting, waiting, waiting for Rockstar Games to make/announce Grand Theft Auto V for PC, enterprising modders are trying to transform the last official GTA released on PC into GTA V.

Miss GTA V's Trevor yet? Well, the character's voice actor, Steven Ogg, had a guest appearance last night in a new show called Broad City. He played a psycho locksmith, and while it's not as mental as Trevor's usual antics (he'd have set the door on fire), it's hard not to see the similarities.

Hey look, more mods for the console versions of Grand Theft Auto V. Unlike the last one, however, this one is a little more practical.
