There’s So Much Room For Activities In Grand Theft Auto V‘s Open World

Why Not Celebrate The Fourth of July With Some Grand Theft Auto?

No, I mean the game. Not actual grand theft auto. Lamar simply misunderstood.

It’s Probably Okay That GTA V Won’t Be This Photorealistic

Because otherwise it’d be a bit… goofy. We all are hoping that Grand Theft Auto V will get a graphical facelift from past games in the series. But I think that, after watching this silly (and quite well-done) video from Ty Green, we can all agree that it’s good that GTA V won’t be too…

Nowadays, we’re all used to the house style of the marketing art for Rockstar Games’ blockbuster open-world games: paneled mosaics with character likenesses and heavy black orders, with the game series’ name spelled out in the Price Is Right font.
