Someone Made a Frozen Mod for Grand Theft Auto IV

You know what's scarier than eternal winter? Carjacking.

Grand Theft Auto is usually too chaotic for me to enjoy, but am I a horrible person if I get some catharsis from watching Anna and Elsa wreak destruction across Liberty City in this wicked mod? This is what happens when we as a society truly let go, guys: chaos reigns. Repression is a social construct that saves lives.

The New Grand Theft Auto V Trailer Doesn’t Look as Good in Grand Theft Auto IV

by Mike Epstein Nov 18th

Whether you're a fan of the series or not, Rockstar Games' second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V looks really slick. It's well composed, and shows that, if nothing else, the game is going to look beautiful.

Today in Wait, What? The Sims 3 Console Trailer Tries to Attract GTA Fans [Video]

by Jamie Block Jun 8th

I recently wrote a little essay about what video game trailers should aspire to. Admittedly, The Sims 3 is not the sort of game I was talking about and so it couldn't really conform to my demands even if it wanted to. But still, couldn't it have done, you know, anything but this? Not to spoil the whole trailer for you, but basically it's just a bunch of annoying brats ranting about all the crazy shit they did in the game. A nun recounts stealing cars and stereos, a Sarah Silverman wannabe talks about all the bling she buys with all her cash. An incredibly creepy British man about whom I will have nightmares tonight talks about burning down his sister's house, insults her in the most crass way possible, then later expresses a desire to be electrocuted. You just have to watch.
