Lindsay Lohan Suing Rockstar?

Lindsay Lohan has apparently talked to her lawyers about taking on Rockstar, claiming that the recent game, GTAV has used her image without her permission.

TMZ's sources learned that her lawyers are already crafting a lawsuit against the video game company. The case is supposedly a three part lawsuit.

• An In-Game mission where the player escorts Lacey Jones to safety, away from the paparazzi. Lindsay thinks that Lacey Jones is Rockstar's way of poking fun with her previous run-ins with the media. 
• A Side-Mission where the player photographs an actress having sex on the what appears to be a fictionalised version of the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood; a hotel in which Lohan lived for a time and still regularly frequents.
• And finally, The Game's poster with a woman holding an iFruit phone.

Earlier this year there has been some debate as to who resembles the female in the poster more, Kate Upton or Shelby Welinder, but the latter posted a paycheck from rockstar November of last year to prove that she has been hired by Rockstar to do some modeling.

No word yet whether GTAV Execs will pay Lindsay Lohan or not.

Call of Duty: Ghosts sells $1 Billion on the First Day

We all thought that Activision had a wounded pride when they stated that they'd outsell GTA V's $1 billion in one day rather than the latter title's three. Especially since the release of Black Ops 2 took a little under a month to reach that point.

No one thought they were going to do it, but they did.

The game is currently ranked #1 on Xbox live and was the most pre-ordered from GameStop. Not to mention that it is also the most pre-ordered for the release of the Xbox One.

Their success on this title can only rise from this point, and is suspected by the company to be the most successful launch title "by a large margin".

Activision Calls out to Rockstar Games

With all the Records currently held by Rockstar's latest hit, GTA V, Activision thinks that Rockstar is getting too comfortable.

In a recent interview, Activision UK Senior Brand Member Kevin Flynn said that the release of Call of Duty: Ghosts will be a wake up call for other companies that think they dominate the market.

"Congratulations to the team at Rockstar for their success," he said, before adding, "We look forward to getting the record back before the next GTA title."

COD: Ghosts is set for a November 5 release on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions available at the consoles launch.

[PC - NEWS] GTA V Heading to PC Q1 of 2014

Eurogamer has reported that Rockstar Games will be releasing the PC Version of their latest Record Smashing Game, GTA V.

Citing multiple sources, even recently backed by Chris R. Silva, Intel's Director of Marketing's Statement. 

"At least with Grand Theft Auto, I don't think it'll be console-exclusive very long. But that's what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content."

If the release window with GTA IV for PC were to be followed, with Rockstar releasing the game April of 2008, then bringing it over to PC December of the same year, then seeing GTA V on PC early 2014 will come as no surprise.

Silva added that "[PC] gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Assassin's Creed 4,"

"The only versions of the game that we have announced are for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 which are set for a September 17th worldwide release," Rockstar said at the time. "We don't have anything to share about the possibility of a next-gen or a PC platform release at this time and we are completely focused on delivering the best possible experience for the consoles people have right now."

Nearly 600,000 people have signed a Change.org petition calling on Rockstar to release GTA5 on PC. They will get their wish.

GTA V hits 1B in Three Days

Just a couple of days ago, Rockstar has announced that GTA V has made $800M during its first day, and earlier this month, analysts estimated that GTA V will make $1Billion in a month, I guess they miscalculated.

"Grand Theft Auto is a cultural phenomenon and Rockstar Games continues to redefine what can be achieved in interactive entertainment," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. "We are incredibly proud of the extraordinary critical and commercial response to Grand Theft Auto V."
