Rockstar Games has a winner on their hands in Grand Theft Auto IV, that will surly boost the value of them and Take-Two Interactive as well, because the sales of this property are not going to stop anytime soon but continue on and on through the summer, fall, and even through the 2008 holiday shopping season. This game will continue to influence console game purchasing decisions for months to come.

The questions that console shoppers will be asking themselves when making a console purchase decision is first, "which consoles will Grand theft Auto IV play on", followed by an equally important question, "which consoles do my smart friends who have purchased GTA IV already have so that I can play GTA IV multiplayer mode with as many of them a s possible?" Those will be very important questions to anyone buying a video game console, because many analysists are seeing that of those who are buying consoles, between 40 and 60 percent are buying GTA IV with the console. In fact of all Xbox 360 sales, 60 percent are with GTA IV.

So now you just have to ask yourself where to go from there, and the answer is simple. To the store to buy your copy of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV. Well there IS one thing you should do first, even before that. "And what is that?" you might ask. Well you might go and read the in-depth review of Grand Theft Auto IV on GameSHOUT.com for the Sony PlayStation 3 HERE, or the review for the Microsoft Xbox 360 HERE.

Either way, you will receive the direction that you so sorely need in making such a difficult decision. And we always suggest exploring all of your options before jumping into any major buying decision. So read the review and then hit the store while you still have a chance...after all the store could be selling that last copy of GTA VI right at this minute so you better get quickly to it.



And maybe, just maybe its time for you to have a little extra action adventure in your life; ...and when you get your game on, we'll cya in there!!

Activision Inc. held its investor conference call on Friday, during which it announced its intentions to launch Call of Duty 5 before the end of this fiscal year, which ends in March of 2009. On top of that, COD 5 will be on almost every platform except the PSP, namely the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, Nintendo's Wii and DS, and of course the PC.



Additionally, Activision intends to bring gamers the intensity of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to a new military theater. It is their intention to double the user base from the last release which will be no simple trick. This was announced by Activision's president and CEO, Mike Griffith.



Ultimately it looks like it is Activision's intent to completely overwhelm gamers with a bigger and better COD than we received with COD 4, but many believe that this will be quite a difficult task indeed as COD 4 was an impressive blockbuster and will be tough to beat. If Activision has their way, they will likely have a game that will actually outsell Grand Theft Auto IV, and if they top COD 4 in the way they hope, they actually may have a chance to do this.
