First (fake) screenshots of Grand Theft Auto 5
I stumbled across two (probably fake) pictures of Grand Theft Auto V. A rumour that has proven to be popular is that the sequel to Grand Theft Auto IV is going to be a launch title for Project Café. This is supposed to be our first look at the game, but it’s much more likely […]

Nintendo wants to shed their perception as a ‘kiddie’ company
