The world of Grand Theft Auto V is so big that it requires three characters to explore it. While that line may sound ripped straight from a PR-laden interview, it’s quite accurate considering telling a story from the eyes of just one man would lead to new areas not being discovered for tens of hours into the game. The game stars three protagonists: Michael, Franklin and Trevor. After a prologue that sets the events of the game in motion, Franklin is the first playable character. Similar to CJ in San Andreas, Franklin is well-meaning gangster who lives with his aunt in the ghetto and is trying to make a better life for himself. Clearly more intelligent than his known associates, Franklin is confined to being a repo man for a shady car dealer who plays the race car to get customers into vehicles they can’t afford, only to have Franklin repo them weeks later thanks to ludicrous financing. After one of the customer’s father, Michael, gets a whiff of this little scam, he comes down to pay the dealer a little visit. Impressed by his attitude, Franklin decides to reach out to Michael to see if they could work together.

Dark Void and Nier . What do these two games have in common? Aside from a Metacritic average below 70, they're also two of my favorite games this generation. Now, why is that? When we have so many great games this gen, why do I choose to love these "mediocre" pieces? Simple, they have the most he

Open-world games have become the realized vision of gaming’s steady growth. The original top-down Grand Theft Auto on Playstation was one of the first games to implement the open-ended, free-form-mission structure that would later become the series’ trademark feature. While Grand Theft Auto II made steady improvements, Grand Theft Auto III on Playstation 2 was lauded for its 3D exploration and expansive nature. GTA III became the grandiose innovator of the series and the benchmark by which open-world games would later be judged. Vice City followed that idea, adding unique style and more cosmetic creativity thanks to its Miami Beach-inspired setting.

Combat itself has been overhauled in GTAV. Instead of blindly cycling through weapons, there’s now a weapons wheel that is brought up by holding the left bumper, allowing available weapons to be seen and selected easier. Additionally, getting busted or killed no longer forfeits your weapons, which makes spending money on weapons upgrades much more realistic. Actual combat is more customizable, allowing players to choose how much they want to be assisted with automatic locking. By default, it’s a bit of a mix between free-aim and full-lock, with targets in clear view automatically locked on and those hidden or at weird angles left to free-aiming. The cover system has also been improved, allowing smoother transitions. On the driving side of things, vehicle handling has been updated, with vehicles feeling better than ever before. While this is still the sort of game that lets you bounce around after landing a jump, handling feels more realistic and tailored to specific vehicles, instead of cars simply being "fast" or "slow." Even supercars feel distinct from one another. Realism has also been visually improved, with cars mirroring their real-life counterparts like never before. It’s clear what’s a Mustang or what’s an Audi and even though the brands can’t be used, it's better than simply looking for a "fast" car.

It's hard to believe there was a world without Grand Theft Auto V. Released in September 2013, GTAV broke practically every sales record and was lauded in almost every circle. While it debuted just months before the next generations of consoles, it didn't seem long in the tooth. Rockstar pushed the limits of nearly decade old hardware and delivered the largest entry in the series yet, both by size and sheer things to do. GTAV is a game where a hundred hours could easily be dropped into it without completing a single mission. Forever changing the landscape of video games, there's little doubt GTAV will go down as a classic. Rockstar, however, wants to preserve it in the best light so has decided to re-release the game on current-gen consoles in 1080p. Not content to release a simple port, though, Rockstar has changed the perspective we view the game -- literally.

Of course, one of the aspects this series is most renowned for is its music. Vice City sparked a minor resurgence in New Wave, while Grand Theft Auto IV perfectly captured the burgeoning indie scene in Brooklyn at the time. Building off of the presentation and quality of the latter’s soundtrack, V boasts one of the series’ best collections of music. For indie lovers, Radio Broker is replaced by Radio Mirror Park, which features tracks from Twin Shadow, Yeasayer, Health, Neon Indian, The Chain Gang of 1974 and more. The incredible thing is that all of the aforementioned artists are contributing new music to the game and the fact that there’s so many critically revered artists with new music on one channel is astounding. For electronic lovers, there’s Soulwax FM, named after and featuring many remixes from electronic band Soulwax. On the pop side of things, there’s Non-Stop Pop FM which features an excellent blend between current top ten artists like Rhianna, lesser-known ones like Robyn and classic acts like Hall & Oats. Of course, there’s something for everyone with other stations focusing on rap, country, classic rock and more. The amount of care put into curating this soundtrack that could have simply been a collection of random songs is more evidence of how much work goes into even the smallest features of the game.
