The Return Of The Semi Without Fear
YouTube’s BlackSmokeBilly is known for his videos of insane car stunts performed in GTA V, usually with the game’s more unwieldy vehicles such as the semi. He returned this week with a new video and it’s a whopper of a doozy of a humdinger. In the footage above, BlackSmokeBilly detatches the semi’s trailer and then blows it into the atmosphere with some highly explosive C4. Still driving the trailer, he […]

Everyone Wants To Franchise Rocket League
In a market crowded with desperate indie games, one title somehow managed to break out of the noise and become an overnight success: Rocket League, Psyonix’s soccer-with-cars smash hit. And now that everyone’s playing it, everyone with money wants a piece of it. Jeremy Dunham, Psyonix’s vice president of marketing, lays out the situation: “We’ve had discussions with various people and studios in Hollywood about making movies based on Rocket […]

Freemode Events, GTA V’s next big update, is officially available, and to mark the occasion Rockstar is holding another special Weekend Event full of prizes, in-game cash and discounts.

New Rocket League DLC: Revenge Of The Battle-Cars
Today Psyonix released the trailer for the next addition to their overnight success, Rocket League. It’s called Revenge Of The Battle-Cars. Don’t look too into it; Rocket League isn’t known for story. The title was just picked for sounding cool. Within the DLC you’ll find two new classic cars, Scarab and Zippy, as well as two new boost effects, 12 car decals, four toppers and three new paint finishes. Here’s […]

Project Cars To Be Expanded
Project Cars once impressed people with its sheer volume of cars, until Forza Mororsport 6 stomped onto the scene carrying more than 500 models and a crazy number of tracks. There’s only one response….Project Cars must expand! Slightly Mad Studios has announced three new DLC packs for Project Cars, to be released in the coming months. They did not give specific dates for each, but you can expect the first […]
“Game Changers” Has Aired….Here Was Rockstar’s Commentary
“Game Changers,” the thoroughly unauthorized dramatization of the making of Grand Theft Auto, made its debut on the BBC yesterday, despite the best efforts of GTA publisher Take-Two Interactive to stop or at least stall its debut. It was not to be; Daniel Radcliffe pretending to make a game aired as scheduled. Rockstar was not amused. Well. Maybe they were amused a little. The Twitter feeds of those actually involved […]
More Yakuza Coming From Sega
No sooner does America finally get a greenlight for their own translation of Yakuza 5, the latest (’til now) title in Sega’s Japanese crime syndicate simulator, than Sega dumps a ton of new content we’ll have to beg for. So the cycle continues. Sega announced today at Tokyo Game Show that they’ll be remastering and revamping the original Yakuza, which originally debuted on the Playstation 2, for a widescreen HD […]
No Need For Speed On The PC Until Spring
Electronic Arts’ reboot of the Need For Speed franchise has a lot riding on it….enough, perhaps, to necessitate a delay. There’s no need to panic, however — unless you play exclusively on the PC, because developer Ghost Games has delayed the PC version of the game until the spring of 2016, citing an inferior framerate as something that needs to be worked on. At Ghost, we’re united by one common […]

Need For Speed To Run Beta Trial
It’s becoming fashionable for high-profile video games to run their beta tests in public these days, but until now, it’s mostly been the domain of AAA multiplayer first-person shooters. Other genres are getting the hang of it, though, and last weekend EA announced that one of their racing games would hold a public beta — Need For Speed. If you’ve been following the development of Need For Speed, you know […]
Rocket League Gets New Patch
Psyonix’s smash hit Rocket League has turned into the indie success of the year and captured the imaginations of millions. Eventually we can expect an officially sanctioned Olympic sport where teams from all over the world get into cars and bash a giant ball around, but until then, all we have is the game. And this patch. Patch 1.05 was released this morning to all versions of the game by […]
No More Major Updates For The PS3 And 360 Versions of GTA V
The wall has finally been hit: Rockstar warned that soon they would no longer be able to add the latest updates to the last-gen versions of Grand Theft Auto V due to the aging technology involved, and that time has come. Rockstar says they were barely able to squeeze in both Ill-Gotten Gains updates this summer, and the next update — which adds the Rockstar Editor to consoles — will […]

Forza 6 Gets Mostly Good Reviews
The review embargo for Forza 6 was lifted today and just about every video game website that posts reviews published a Forza review. Most were kind, a few were glowing. DigitalSpy raised up a 5 out of 5 and added, “This is one of the best driving simulations out there: it’s the game launch title Forza 5 really should have been. We’re a bit spoiled for choice in great driving […]
