Another 
year is nearly in the books, and for gamers, it was a biggie.
Sony and Microsoft released their long-awaited next generation systems. Rockstar Games didn’t just break records, it blew them to smithereens. Players saw tons of new avenues open up, while an increasingly connected world brought plenty of headaches.
Is 
a video game that requires torture going too far?
Critics and gamers may love “Grand Theft Auto V,” but, like its predecessors, the game is proving to be a lightning rod for controversy.

Ending months 
of speculation, Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games have finally confirmed that ”Grand Theft Auto V” is on the way.
The developer teased the game on its website Tuesday, announcing it would release a trailer for the game on Nov. 2.
Take-Two Interactive Software 
hasn’t formally announced the next installment of the massive Grand Theft Auto franchise, but it’s the industry’s worst kept secret.
Most industry analysts expect it to be unveiled (and released) next year – and the oddsmaking has started on exactly how big it will be. Right now, the most conservative guesses put the number just below the worldwide grosses of Titanic.
Everyone knows a new Grand Theft Auto is coming. It is, 
after all, one of the biggest franchises in the video game industry. But to date, Rockstar Games hasn’t dropped many hints about what to expect.
