    The History of GTA (Part 2): The Games That Changed Everything

    Three games. Three unforgettable settings. One enormous leap for Grand Theft Auto. Our month of GTA continues with the move into 3D, as we revisit GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas. From the streets of Liberty City to Vice City's neon and the sprawling world of San Andreas, this was the era when GTA's top-down chaos became somewhere we could step inside. We look back at how the series grew across these three games, with bigger worlds, stronger identities and an increasingly ambitious mix of story, music and freedom. These weren't just new places to cause trouble. They helped shape what we expected an open-world game to be. Whether your memories involve cruising through Vice City with the radio on or finding your way back to Grove Street, join us as we revisit a defining generation of GTA. Which of the three is your favourite, and which made the biggest impression on you?

    Sony’s PS5 Trade-In Offer: What’s the Catch?

    Sony wants your PS5 back—but the top trade-in offer discussed this week comes with a catch: TWO DualSense controllers. Would you take the deal? We dig into the offer, PlayStation’s latest results and the memory-cost questions hanging over its next console. Nintendo’s physical-game future is under scrutiny too, while the reported bids for Arkane raise a different question: can someone save the studio and let it stay Arkane? Also this week: the Mass Effect campaign’s political turn, more studio cuts, the risks behind publisher buyouts, GTA VI preload discussion, John Romero’s next chapter, Control Resonant, Steam’s review backlog and the Elder Scrolls tease. Plus Comment Corner and what we’ve been playing: Phantom Blade Zero, Ocarina of Time, Control Resonant and The Drifter.What would convince YOU to trade in your PS5—and should a second controller really be part of the deal?

    The History of GTA (Part 1): From Dundee to GTA 2

    Before GTA III, Vice City and Los Santos, there was Dundee, DMA Design and a very different kind of Grand Theft Auto. We kick off our month of GTA with the unlikely beginnings of the series: David Jones, the connection to Lemmings, the evolution of Race 'n' Chase, and the top-down chaos of GTA 1, GTA London and GTA 2. We talk about the controversy that helped shape GTA's identity, the freedom hidden beneath its awkward controls, London's British personality and GTA 2's gang-respect system. And we ask a question nostalgia doesn't always welcome: was the original GTA actually a good game? Plus, GTA 2's live-action film, the early multiplayer ideas and the building blocks that carried into the games we know today. Join us for our GTA month: 6 November: The origins, GTA 1, London and GTA 2 13 November: GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas 20 November: GTA IV, GTA V and the blockbuster era 27 November: Our thoughts on GTA VI Which GTA did you start with, and what do you miss about the early games?

    Can Fans Save Mass Effect ?

    Can the fans save Mass Effect? We discuss reports that EA chose a new Star Wars Battlefront over the next Mass Effect, what we've heard about Mass Effect Universe, and whether the campaign to save the series can make a difference. We also get into Sucker Punch's reported layoffs, Xbox's latest results and leadership changes, GTA 6's reported details, and the argument over whether Steam is holding PC gaming back. Plus, we debate AI games and whether public game awards give us enough time to play before voting .Would you rather see Mass Effect stay with EA, move to another studio, or return through a different route? Tell us what you think in the comments. Our next Comment Corner could feature your take.

    Horror Games That Mess With YOU | Halloween Special

    The monster is scary. The game pretending to delete your save? That's personal. Dan P is back in the co-host chair for our Gaming Views Halloween special, and we're exploring eight horror games that mess with the person holding the controller. From P.T.'s hidden Lisa trick and Eternal Darkness's fake save deletion to Doki Doki Literature Club's file meddling and IMSCARED's desktop surprises, these games find ways to make the fear feel uncomfortably close. We also get into Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and its director's ghost stories, Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour's dummy finger mystery, Silent Hill 2 remake's strange photographs, and ANATOMY's unsettling take on an ordinary house. Can a fake crash be scarier than a monster? Why does old technology make everything creepier? And which game has made YOU feel watched? Tell us in the comments. Lights off. Headphones on. Landing light optional. Spoilers for the games discussed, plus Pony Island, Dead Space and the film Saw. Explicit language and discussion of suicide, self-harm and disturbing horror themes.

    BioWare closed. Who's next?

    BioWare is closing, and development on the next Mass Effect is ending. We discuss what the loss of the studio behind Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Knights of the Old Republic means for gaming, and why its legacy deserves more than a fight on social media. The rest of the news raises an uncomfortable question: what will we actually be playing, and owning, in a few years? We get into Liquid Swords’ bankruptcy, the debate over AI tools in development, and reports of an expensive next generation for Xbox and PlayStation. Also this week: -Xbox physical-game speculation -AI comments and console trade-ins -Digital ownership and what needs to change -The Moonlighter studio’s concerns about AI cloning and public playtests -GTA 6 launch-day hype and whether an in-game romance counts as cheating -Your comments and a thank-you for the support for our game-tracking app Which BioWare game means the most to you?

    Gaming Hoaxes & Urban Legends: The Rumours We Fell For

    Did your mate know how to unlock a secret character? Were you convinced something was hiding in the woods of GTA San Andreas? This week on Gaming Views, we revisit the hoaxes, urban legends and playground rumours that kept players guessing. From Polybius and Pokémon’s Lavender Town to Sheng Long, Mortal Kombat’s Ermac and the search for Bigfoot, we ask why these stories were so easy to believe. We also discuss Final Fantasy VII’s Aerith revival rumours, the mystery surrounding Michael Jackson and Sonic 3’s soundtrack, and Peter Molyneux’s Fable, Curiosity and Project Milo promises. Some stories were inventions. Some drew on genuine secrets. Others helped inspire things that appeared in later games. Has the internet made it harder to keep a gaming mystery alive? Which rumour did you believe, and how long did you spend trying to prove it? Let us know in the comments or join the conversation on Discord. Spoilers for the original Final Fantasy VII.
