Grand Theft Auto V to Release Spring 2013

Rockstar has made clear their intentions to marry your daughter release Grand Theft Auto V in spring of 2013. Awesome. I'm sure we'll all be well and caught up on everything else coming out in the first quarter. I mean, it isn't as though there are half a dozen other major titles releasing in that window.

As announced today in a press release, The Walt Disney Company has agreed to acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion (approximately half paid in cash, and 40 million shares issued).

A New Teaser for Until Dawn Creeps Up the Internet

Sony released a creepy new trailer for the upcoming "teen horror" game from Supermassive, Until Dawn. There's a creepy cabin, buzzsaws, a dude who looks like he's having a bit of a bad day and Polaroids of kids with numbers on them. Looks like Halloween to me. (Conrad Zimmerman)
