Grand Theft Auto V Released Today

[Shawn Zipay]

As if you needed me to tell you this, but Grand Theft Auto V was released today for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed by series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V pushes the series forward in exciting new ways. For the first time, players can jump in and out of the lives of three simultaneously playable lead characters, experiencing all sides of an interwoven story. Set in a satirical reimagining of modern Southern California, Grand Theft Auto V offers players the freedom to explore the dense urban metropolis of Los Santos and the wide open countryside of Blaine County; plan and execute a series of epic heists; meet a vast array of strangers and freaks; or participate in a host of activities, from golf to arms trafficking, base jumping to yoga and much more.

On October 1, Grand Theft Auto Online will be released to all owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to playing.

Fun fact regarding free-falling...

Spoiler: 

I can say for certain that you can freefall without a parachute for at least 27 seconds which is a vertical distance of around 1.55 miles/2.5 kilometers. Gives a nice crunchy splat too.

(I miss the spoiler tags supporting subject lines.)

I picked it up after work. Hopefully I can stick with this one and complete it.
