Here’s How To Get The Best Vehicle In GTA V

Yep, it’s a 747 in GTA V, and it’s easier to find than a Banshee. The strange thing is that you can steal the small private jet, and this massive thing, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to get in the mid-sized jet. By the way, don’t forget a parachute!

PS4 gets a launch window in Asia. Sony revealed tonight that the PS4 will be available in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea this December. Japan won’t get it until next February.

28 Minutes Of GTA V‘s Stolen Planes, Tanks And Selfies

The original plan was simple. Drive to the airfield and take the plane Trevor uses to run drugs and show off flying in GTAV. Unfortunately, I forgot that I had landed that plane in the middle of the highway and abandoned it. Plan B: Go to the airport and steal a private jet. What could…

Grand Theft Auto V: The Kotaku Review

Rockstar Games has scaled a mountain with Grand Theft Auto V, creating the best-looking, best-sounding and, most importantly, best-playing version of gaming’s most notorious franchise. Scaling one peak, however, reveals another—their cloud-piercing ambition to create a great ensemble video game drama, an epic of intersecting, interactive lives. Rockstar doesn’t summit that new peak as impressively…

I really wanted this week’s video MMO log for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn to show you my ascension from Lancer to Dragoon at level 30, but I fell short. That I’m bummed about it says a lot about how I feel about the game. First off, let me just thank all of the…

That’s Not How You Fight The Reapers

You don’t see this many Mass Effect cosplayers everyday. Still, I’m not sure they’d have a chance against that Reaper above Dragon Con 2013. That Blasto on the right, maybe he can do some damage. But it’s clearly a one-sided battle. Here’s the original photo, by Soulfire and OrlaRose N7 Elite Costume Group [Facebook] To…

Sony’s Interracial Ad Sure Brought Out the Idiots

Sony’s debut spot for the PS Vita TV features an interracial couple—something that didn’t escape YouTube commenters.

Huge Swords, Dozens of Monsters and One Awful Haircut

This here is the first teaser trailer for Bound by Flame, the new game by Spiders, the studio responsible for the sci-fi RPG Mars: War Logs. As you can see, this one’s a more fantasy-oriented RPG.

Grand Theft Auto V‘s Map Versus Major Cities

We already know GTA V‘s map is pretty massive. But the meaning of that kind of adjective can be pretty difficult to gauge based on how you actually judge size metrics. As always, be prepared for spoilers of the land variety. If you don’t feel like checking out Grand Theft Auto V‘s map before the…
