The Grand Theft Auto V Trailer

I drive past one of the locations shown in this trailer every day in real life and got a real kick out of recognizing it. Something about the marriage of real life and fantasy in an open world sandbox game like Grand Theft Auto is quite appealing.

Still, I kinda wish Rockstar would just use “Los Angeles” as the city name with real landmarks, rather than resorting to approximations such as “Los Santos” and “Vinewood.” I get that they’re just creating caricatures of actual cities in their GTA games, but so what? Last I checked, the First Amendment was still in effect.

New Call of Duty Details Leaked

Scans from the latest issue of the UK’s Official Xbox Magazine show some more details about the next installment in the Call of Duty franchise.

As expected, the game is being developed by Treyarch and will be once again set in the World War II era.  It’s going to be using the CoD 4 engine and be on the PC, Wii, 360, and PS3 platforms.  Multiplayer apparently will include the same perk system that CoD 4 did and also add vehicles.

Yadda Yadda Yadda.  Frankly, my excitement level for this game is almost nil because:

a) It’s not developed by Infinity Ward (the developers who created the franchise)

b) I am sick to death of WWII

c) We just had a new Call of Duty game come out about 8 months ago – and it was pretty damn good!

At least Activision has the decency to not officially call it “Call of Duty 5.” My money’s still on gratuitous in-game footage in the next season of Chuck though.
