News GTA 6's Innovative PS5 Animation Engine Promises to Be Highly Dynamic and Realistic
Patent teases potential tech
Rockstar rarely ever rests on its laurels from project to project, and considering it’s been over ten years since GTA 5, we can surely expect GTA 6 to be a revolutionary experience.

Mini Review Red Dead Redemption (PS4) - Classic Open World Western Deserves Better
There's always a choice
Red Dead Redemption. What a classic.

From the dusty beginnings of Armadillo to the bear-infested forests of Tall Trees, this...
Poll Did You Buy Red Dead Redemption's PS4 Port?
Dead eye to eye
Out now on PS4 (and PS5 via backwards compatibility, of course), Red Dead Redemption rides again. Rockstar's open world western was a game that helped define the PS3 generation, and 13 years later, it's still held in extremely high regard.

News Most PlayStation Fans Dead Against Buying Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port at Launch
Palpable disappointment
To say that the Red Dead Redemption PS4 announcement hasn't gone down well would be an understatement at this point.
