When Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto Online was going to be a game separate from GTA V and will live on past the lifespan of the fifth game, many expected there to be some kind of catch.
This week the catch has been revealed by Rockstar themselves after speculation and rumors of purchasable in-game gift cards spread the internet.
It has been revealed that you will be able to purchase in game currency cards for Grand Theft Auto Online with real cash straight from your wallet.
The cards will range from $100,000 to $1,250,000 with various valued cards in between. The cheapest $100,000 card will cost £1.99 (or ~$3.20) and the $1,250,000 card will cost £13.99 ( ~$22.40)
Interestingly, the money system will work differently to GTA V in GTA Online. For example, you’ll be able to pick up a pricy car for $150,000 instead of $1 million, and the most expensive property only costs $400,000.
Guns and car modifications will end up costing more though, and these

There is a whole lot to do with your money in Grand Theft Auto 5, but unless you're smart about spending and investing your cash, you can end up running out pretty quickly. If you're looking for a better way to earn cash without doing it the legit way, you may be interested in this glitch which can allow you to buy ANY property in the game for free, as long as you have more money than the cost of the property.
Warning: Some users have reported that this glitch has broken their mission files and have said that they cannot continue on with missions. Do this glitch on a new save or wait to complete the story first.
This glitch is actually fairly simple to reproduce. All you need to do is make sure you have the cash for the property in the first place. (in the case of the more expensive properties like the golf course, this may take time to earn.) Once you have the cash, go to buy the property like you normally would, however as soon as the quick cutscene starts,

One of the new additions to Battlefield 4's multiplayer is of course the new weapon customization. Unlike in Battlefield 3, players will be able to add customizations straight onto existing weapons instead of having to unlock each variation of the weapon separately.
When compared to Battlefield 3's weapon customization, the new customization in BF4 shown in this video is much better by a long shot.
The video goes onto showing the easy ways to quickly customize weapons, and the large variety of different stocks, grips and other weapon accessories that can make a big impact on a player's play style.
The video also shows dozens of different unlockable camos that can be applied to primary and secondary weapons as well as any drivable vehicle in the game.
The video then ends with a developer showing the new tiered loading mechanic - a feature that should have been in first person shooters a long time ago.

A bit of confusion has hit the internet this week. Dozens of video games websites have reported that GTA Online may have 32 player support instead of the previously announced 16 players, thanks to the help of a bunch of friendly hackers who sifted through GTA V's code to find information on a 32 player cap for online play.
The bad news is that Rockstar has dismissed this as just a rumor, and have then confirmed on twitter that the cap will be only 16 players.
@RockstarGames said "Not sure where that rumor came from but GTA Online will support 16 players."
This leaves open the possibilities for 32 player game modes outside of GTA Online that players may have to queue up to join through virtual lobbies. Perhaps we will see 32 player deathmatches or something similar. This is of course just speculation and does go against what Rockstar have already stated.
Other news that has circulated due to players messing around with GTA V's files includes PS4 and PC framework

The release date for Call of Duty Ghosts isn't very far away at all now, but a lot of the game is still under wraps. We all know we're going to be getting a lot of what previous Call of Duty games were about, and we understand about the new inclusion of dogs within multiplayer and the campaign, but there are still many other details we're missing out on.
Achievements for the game have been leaked and it gives us an insight into what we may be doing on COD Ghosts when it finally comes out.
The achievements hint at a few interesting scenarios within the campaign story mode. It looks as if the game will include levels with hacking, stealth, underwater combat, destroying helicopters, destroying ships, commandeering space stations and shooting guys off the side of a train, among other things.
The achievement list is below-
- Ghost Stories (5) - Escape. (Complete "Ghost Stories" on any difficulty.)
- Spatial Awareness (10) - Kill your first enemy in the

A glitch has been found in Grand Theft Auto V that can potentially award the player with an infinite supply of cash. Players will be able to find briefcases of money hidden around the world which carry cash varying between 10 thousand and 25 thousand dollars and can pick them up to receive the money inside.
However, the glitch can allow the player to repeatedly collect the money from the suitcase over and over again, and surprisingly, the glitch is incredibly easy to do. This glitch can be done with any suitcase found within the world, but the largest amount of money found in a suitcase so far is the $25 thousand case, so it's much quicker to do the glitch with this case instead of others.
The hardest part of this glitch is actually finding the suitcase of money in the first place- the $25k suitcase can be found underwater directly on this spot:

Rockstar has released an app into the iTunes app store that goes alongside the main Grand Theft Auto 5 game. You will be able to use the iFruit app to look at news about the game, check in with social club once it's available in October, and also use interactive features to change happenings in the main game.
Firstly you'll be able to look after Chop, a dog in the game owned by one of Franklin's friends. You'll be able to teach him tricks, pet him, feed him and look after his wellbeing. This will change the way Chop acts in the main game.
Secondly, you'll be able to customize and purchase vehicles from within iFruit. You'll be able to add the same level of customization to your own vehicles as you can in the main game, and once you next play the game, the newly changed vehicle will be ready for you in your garage.
Currently this app is only available for iPhone and iPad in the iTunes store, but Rockstar plan to release Android, PS Vita, and Windows Phone versions in

Rockstar's new Grand Theft Auto V is so large that two discs are needed for the Xbox 360 version of the game. The PlayStation 3 version of the game which uses a BluRay disc that can hold more data only requires one disc.
The two discs on the Xbox 360 version each have their own roles. There is both a "play" disc and an "install" disc, and as the name suggests, players are required to install the install disc before they can play the game with the other disc.
Rockstar have warned Xbox 360 owners that there may be performance issues if you try to install the play disc as well. On Rockstar's support twitter account, a tweet was posted saying "For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch." In regards to whether installing the play disc is a good idea or not.
This also means that those who want to play the game will need to ensure they have enough space on their hard drive (8GB) and if they don't they

Grand Theft Auto V has only just come out and players are already delving deep into the games roots to find out about any cheat codes that may be lying around. And unsurprisingly, cheat codes have been found.
Cheat codes have always been around since the origins of the Grand Theft Auto series and they have been here to stay all the way throughout so it makes sense that Grand Theft Auto V is no exception.
In GTA V, the cheats sound like a whole lot of fun, so whether you've got the game just to mess around, or you plan on having some fun after completing the game, make sure to check back to this post because there'll be down waiting for you.
GTA V uses the traditional method of using cheats instead of the phone system that was used in GTA IV, so you'll have to activate cheat codes by tapping buttons in-game. Here are five of the best cheats available in-game for both Xbox 360 and PS3.
