While Rockstar takes its time polishing GTA 6 into a neon sunbeam, one hobbyist modder has apparently decided to just make their own Grand Theft Multiverse instead. FV Mods, who evidently runs on a diet of caffeine and pure willpower, has now released a trilogy of giant map add-ons for GTA 5—effectively turning San Andreas…
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. — Lao Tzu It was about 5 years ago that I kicked off a side hobby project. At the time I was working at Petroglyph on an RTS game as a programmer during the day, and just wanted a fun side project to work…

Warner Bros has announced that the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum will open in theaters December 17, 2027 (via Variety).

If Hollow Knight: Silksong is too easy for you, or you’ve finished it and want further punishment, there is a much more difficult way to play it: on Steel Soul Mode.
