<br>The world of GTAV is the biggest ever. Although the majority of it is rural, know that it’s not that they’ve taken away from the city, but simply added hundreds of miles of land outside it just for good fun. The city itself is huge and rivals the entire world of GTA IV. Outside of it, there’s mountains, rivers, beaches, desert and more. Surprisingly, however, hardly any of it is empty. There’s small towns, unique buildings, military bases and more sprinkled throughout. The incredible thing is how alive it all seems. Off one of the back roads, for instance, I noticed a car pull over at a fruit stand and decided to see if it was a coincidence, but nope -- a woman got out, walked up to it and examined the produce. That’s level of detail to expect in the world, from the boardwalks with interactive rides to trains carving through mountain passes. To add some spice for players who like to drive around exploring the world, random events have been added that unfold during a day. Represented by a flashing blue blip on the map that appears when nearby, these range from a thief snatching a purse to a carjacking. After stopping the miscreant in one of these robberies, you can either keep the stolen item for yourself or return it to the victim. Doing the latter results in good karma that might just come back to you later in the game.<br><br>Rockstar has improved upon one of the greatest games of all time. The original version of Grand Theft Auto V was a major accomplishment upon its initial release and remains that way even after a year of the new console generation. The current-gen version, however, allows it to continue its legacy for many more years. It's worth diving back into Los Santos simply to experience the saga in smooth 1080p, but Rockstar has gone above and beyond by adding new features and content to it. More than just a gimmick, the first-person mode really does change how it's experienced by adding a new layer of gameplay. It won't be for everybody, but the sheer fact that the option is there is commendable. More still, multiple new vehicles, weapons and animals have been introduced. If none of that were enough, over a hundred new songs have been added to the already robust radio stations. While there's nothing wrong with the last-gen version of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar has created a museum piece with its remastered version.

After finding out that former accomplice Michael is alive and well under a different name, he decides to drive down to Los Santos to pay him a visit.

Starring Luigi as the undisputed lead - the only Super Mario Bros. platformer to flat-out exclude Mario from the action - players were able to wield Luigi's higher jumps, floaty physics and decreased traction. But it was far more than a gimmick; offering a difficulty some found missing from recent games in the series. Luigi brought pulse-pounding precision along with him, and did it in DLC that could easily be considered a standalone g


What a week for Double Fine ! First, Mojang's Marcus "Notch" Persson offered to personally fund Psychonauts 2 , then the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter shattered records and racked up over a million dollars in less than 24 hours. As I write this, the total funds pledged stand at over $1.5 million -- a fairly staggering figure that is, by Tim Schafer's own admission (via his ever entertaining @ TimOfLegend twitter feed), greater than the budget for either Day of the Tentacle (which Schafer estimates was "like 600k") or the just-released Double Fine Happy Action Theat


Grand Theft Auto has been a best-selling — and highly controversial — series for a long time. It has had a total of 11 main titles (including the first game), and spin-offs have been developed by Rockstar. While all titles have sold fairly well, the latest entry in the franchise — Grand Theft Auto V — that has seen an absolutely otherworldly level of success with around 75 million copies sold as of February 2017.

Assassin's Creed 2 is the height of Ubisoft's open world stealth franchise, streamlining many of the features from the first game and adding a much more interesting protagonist to drive the story forward. Assassin's Creed 2 offers one of the best open worlds in the series, as it gives players the chance to explore a gorgeously rendered Italy during the Renaissance. While completing assassinations and other missions is the main draw of the game, it's also a great pleasure to simply explore Italy and check out some of the impressive landmarks and architect


Trevor is the most entertaining main character in Grand Theft Auto V , if not the entire series. His hilarious redneck antics, penchant for destruction, and a dismissive attitude towards human life make him one of the most uniquely charming characters that Rockstar have churned out.

Rockstar Games has made a habit of impressing with their DLC (more on that later), but Red Dead Redemption 's best add-on was as shocking as it was impressive.

Quite a few of these open world games have received widespread critical acclaim, standing as some of the highest-rated video games made to date. Open world games are often massive undertakings, and as a result, tend to give players more play time than most titles, whether that time is spent completing quests or just messing around in the sand
