Grand Theft Auto’s Greatest Danger is a Giraffe Driving a Sports Car

You’d think I would be sick of all these weird GTAIV mod videos, but nope. Not when they’ve got giraffes in them. Where the rest of the internet is fascinated by either tits or cats, it’s the noble giraffe that’s closest to our hearts. So videos of giraffes tearing up Liberty City in stolen cars?…

Holy Cow, There’s An Elephant Loose In Liberty City

May they never, ever stop making mods for Grand Theft Auto IV. I’m serious! Never stop.

Grand Theft Auto IV Gets Unholy Vengeance with This Fiery Ghost Rider Mod

There’s a lot of evil in Liberty City. And, therefore, a lot of victims that need avenging.

5 Ways Sleeping Dogs Improves On Grand Theft Auto

You could be forgiven for wondering what all the hubbub is about Sleeping Dogs. “Just another open-world crime game,” you might think. “Been there, done that, yawn.” I’ve seen a few commenters ask why writers at Kotaku keep talking about this game—the simple answer for that is that we write about what we’re playing, and…

Grand Theft Auto V Screens Are Nice, But How About a Skyrim Final Fantasy Dragon in GTA IV?

We’ll have tennis and dirt-biking in Grand Theft Auto V, but can we not also have a dragon that breathes fire while someone (the dragon?) does the Skyrim Fus-Roh-Dah shout?

Grand Theft Auto Grew From A Glitch, And Other Little-Known GTA Facts

Grand Theft Auto is Too Big. Yakuza is Too Small. Sleeping Dogs is Just Right.

Creating a compelling and enjoyable open world experience is more than just giving the player as much real estate technologically possible to play in.

Grand Theft Auto’s Liberty City Has Been Buried in Sand, And it Looks Incredible

While most Grand Theft Auto IV mods do little more than add a stupid character to the game or mess with the visuals, this mod – called Desert Storm – does something way more drastic. It covers the city in sand. Like, it buries the entire city in the stuff. In a very Spec Ops/Dubai…

Putting a Horse Behind the Wheel in Grand Theft Auto IV Ends Predictably

This horse, from the fount of zany mods on YouTube user Taltigolt’s channel, may have a smoother gait than ones you see in, say, Skyrim. But his hit box and mass still appear to be that of a regular person in the game. So a riderless steed charging through a public park isn’t quite the…

Mickey Mouse Is Wreaking Havoc in Grand Theft Auto IV. With a Smile.

The mod scene around Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV continues to impress and amuse. Sonic The Hedgehog and the Portal robots were cool, but Mickey Mouse?
