Uploading a video to YouTube recently, user just Gesha has been able to show off what Grand Theft Auto 3 looks like when given a more up-to-date bit of polish. While staying true to the original game, the fan used a series of mods to transform it, so it looks like a more modern title. While it doesn’t look ultra realistic, due to them wanting to stay “faithful” to the 20 year old classic, it still gives the title a much-needed coat of crisp high-definition fidelity....

Even more impressive is that Grand Theft Auto 5 performed that well in a year where two next-generation consoles launched, and the updated version of GTA 5 for the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles isn’t expected to release for at least another several months. 2020 also saw a record number of people playing games, as many were stuck at home for much of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning even more people who may have missed the phenomenon in the past 7 years were given an excuse to catch up....

GTA Online introduced CEO offices several years ago, introducing new missions to do, so long as the player can afford an office or plays with someone who has one. However, like with apartments, these offices are supposed to be a safe zone where no one can use weapons or be physically harmed.

London - Russian tennis player Nikolay Davydenko acknowledged that grass is his least favored surface after crashing out in the first round of Wimbledon to fourth seed Andy Murray.

Blackburn—a prominent China critic who has long lobbied for closer scrutiny of U.S. ties with Beijing—published her white paper Wednesday against a backdrop of deteriorating Washington-Beijing relations and the closing of the Chinese consulate in Houston.
