Diablo 3 has been a hugely popular PC title. It’s the kind of game consumers tend to use to judge the gaming competence of a new setup due to its reasonably graphics-intensive nature, and with the PC version having been out for quite a while now, the PlayStation 3 version has just been teased. By the looks of things, the interface has been revamped, offering an altogether more inviting user interface and slicker gameplay.
Some people just like taking things apart, but that's just half of the process. Once you're left with a big bag of bits, you need to put it all back together again and hope that it works when you press that big power button. Putting it all back together and making it better than the original takes things to a whole new level, and that's what Ben Heck has become so well known for.
Rockstar Games spent a great deal of last year plugging and promoting the release of Grand Theft Auto V, and although fans were bracing themselves for a Spring 2013 release, the publisher-developer has pushed the arrival date all the way back to September 17th. Those looking forward to a Summer immersed in the aesthetically-startling environments teased hitherto will be bitterly disappointed, and the momentum Rockstar has managed to generate may also take a severe hit.
Just a few weeks into the year, Sony has already received quite a lot of press attention, mostly concerning its next-generation console. However, the company is showing some love for its current-generation console with its new bundle: a white PlayStation 3 with a 500GB hard drive, along with a white DualShock 3 controller and a one-year membership for PlayStation Plus, all for just under $300.
There may be absolutely no Christmas or seasonal theme to the latest Grand Theft Auto creation, but for those hardcore fans out there who are literally about to burst with excitement over the fifth major iteration of the game, then there is simply no better Christmas present then getting the chance to peek at a few new high-resolution screenshots that show just how epic Grand Theft Auto V looks. While we were visiting family members and polishing off the stuffed turkey, it seems that Rockstar was hard at work pulling together some press images to show the world what to expect from GTA V.
Whenever something, be it an achievement, product, or person, sets new, unprecedented benchmarks within any field, there are always those few skeptics ready and waiting to cast fresh doubt wherever an opportunity arises. With the Call of Duty franchise having continually blown other titles out of the water in terms of sales statistics during the past couple of years, there were still plenty of question marks pondering whether the famed CoD series had lost its touch. Today, publisher Activision has answered that question quite emphatically by delivering the damning news that the latest installment - Call of Duty: Black Ops II - has passed the billion-dollar holy grail in a mere 15 days.
It may be something of an ageing console, and the hardware packed within is most certainly of yesteryear, but Sony's PlayStation 3 console has just reached the impressive milestone of 70 million sold worldwide. Having launched now six years ago back in November of 2006, the PlayStation 3 has competed fiercely with Microsoft's Xbox 360 console, and although the Redmond company's Kinect is subject of much press coverage, the Move motion controller for the PS3 has shifted 15 million in just two years - which is arguably the more impressive feat.
Although it never looked in any doubt, it's now official; Call of Duty: Black Ops II has once again delivered the biggest entertainment launch of the year for Activision, and with sales in excess of half a billion dollars in the first 24 hours alone, it's safe to say the gaming sphere's most powerful franchise has not completely lost its touch.
During the course of the next few months, its fair to say gaming fans have got it pretty good. Halo 4 has just released, and having sold in record numbers, Call of Duty: Black Ops II is ready to make its annual assault on the sales charts. On top of that, Rockstar Games have gotten GTA fans all hot and bothered about the prospect of Grand Theft Auto V, and after months of teaser screenshots, the developer finally began taking pre-orders last month for the release in early 2013. With gamers now under no illusions about when GTA V will be making its way to market, Rockstar has reverted back to its old tactic, so without further ado, here's your latest batch of screenshots.
Officially set to be released next year, we can't help but get excited every time we hear little snippets of information regarding Grand Theft Auto V. The highly anticipated release in the GTA franchise has been under development for quite some time, but apart from the few teasing screenshots, promotional images released by Rockstar Games, we haven't really had a great deal to get our teeth into. GTA IV left a few hardcore fans feeling a little let down with the experience, but it certainly looks like Rockstar are back on top of their game with the latest offering.
