The long awaited sequal to the GTA series is finally here, and in high-definition. You play a Slavic badass transplanted in Liberty City (New York if you will) who tries to live the American Dream, keep his family obligations, and stay alive, all the while building a rep and power. Sounds awesome huh?

Liberty City is updated to be more realistic, if not more grimy. Side missions and story missions are blurred in an even more involved sandbox environment. But are there enough hookers!? Also available for XBox 360, with a Special Edition for the XBox 360. $60.

It’s finally here and it’s pretty scary; scary because you’ll think that these cars are real life as opposed to HD graphics.

Honestly speaking, a driving game can’t get much more realistic than Gran Turismo: 5 Prologue, not until we have HD 3D holograms. Don’t just take our word for it, check out the footage after the break. $40. Read more »

This seems to be the Wii’s first real attempt at dabbling in the sandbox genre of video games (i.e. Grand Theft Auto).

In No More Heroes, you’re some sort of hired assassin character that goes around kicking ass with your “Beam Katana” which seems to be a knockoff lightsaber. If only the game let you use Jedi Mind Tricks on Japanese schoolgirls, now that would be something. $50. Read more »
