You can watch the trailer below!

This morning, Rockstar Games replaced every part of their website with a splash page announcing the next title in the Grand Theft Auto series, Grand Theft Auto V.

At the moment, we know only one thing — that a trailer is coming November 2. Well, okay, with that style of “Five,” we might know another — that the game is probably taking place somewhere in the U.S.

We’ll bring you the trailer when it’s available.

Apple iOS Devices: iPad 2, iPhone 4S
Android Phones: Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2
Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

If you’re at New York Comic-Con, you can try this version of the game out, and also tour the GTA3 gallery, which has art from the game on display. Attendees will also have the chance to win special anniversary merch. (Those items will also be available for sale in the Rockstar Warehouse.)

For the twelve months, net revenue grew 65% year-over-year to $1.16 billion. GAAP income from continuing operations increased to $49.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $130.4 million, or $1.70 per share, for the year-ago period. Non- GAAP income from continuing operations increased to $97.5 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP loss of $90.4 million, or $1.18 per share, for the year-ago period. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations excludes certain non-cash and non-operational gains and losses identified on the attached reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP measures.

For the three months, net revenue grew 32% year-over-year to $373.7 million. GAAP income from continuing operations increased to $54.2 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $7.9 million, or $0.10 per share, for the year-ago period. Non- GAAP income from continuing operations increased to $64.0 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, as compared to $7.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the year-ago period.

New titles were the strongest contributors to net revenue and profits in the three month period, including NBA 2K11, Mafia II, Red Dead Redemption, Sid Meier’s Civilization V, Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete and New Carnival Games. Catalog titles that contributed to the strength in the recent period included Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto IV and several Nickelodeon titles. In addition, digitally delivered content has continued to be a meaningful component of Take-Two’s sales.

“We have achieved our goal of profitability in a year without a new release of Grand Theft Auto. Our better-than-expected revenue growth and margin expansion were driven by strong demand for our diverse portfolio of games, including the hit new titles Red Dead Redemption and NBA 2K11, as well as strong sales of catalog titles and digitally delivered content. I am also pleased to report that our 2K Sports division was profitable during the period.”

~ Ben Feder CEO of Take-Two

“As we finish 2010, our Company is better positioned for success than ever, creatively, operationally and financially. We plan to build on the talents of our world-class creative team to deliver an increasingly diverse portfolio of high-quality titles. We will also pursue opportunities to enter newer areas of the interactive entertainment business, such as digitally delivered content and the expanding Asian and Latin American markets. In addition, we will continue to optimize our efficient operating infrastructure and sound balance sheet to support our future initiatives for profitable growth.”

The fifth game in the series overall and the one that introduced players to the famous in-game environment of Liberty City, it is widely considered one of the most important video games in history due to the popularity it generated for the open-ended gameplay style of the GTA franchise.

Sonny wants his money back, but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead.

Thankfully, for the action man, or outdoors type, there’s tons of fun things to do and adventures to be had in the aptly named Vice City… guaranteed.

First off, we have roundabout dates for L.A. Noire, Mafia II, Max Payne 3 and Sid Meier’s Civilization V. I say “roundabout” because we just have a quarter for them – the fourth quarter. So sometime between August and October 31, we’ll be seeing those games. Maybe. It was also announced that one of these could get pushed to fiscal year 2011. Which ones? Not too sure. NHL and NBA 2K11 are also coming out that quarter.

More Borderlands DLC was also announced. Based on the success of The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, they will continue to publish DLC.

In other news…

• BioShock 2 has sold over 3 million units to date.
• Take Two is planning to publish its own games in Japan, rather than relying on a third-party. They’re doing this to cut costs.
• Grand Theft Auto is apparently the most successful American IP in Japan.
• Their Jack of All Games business has been sold to SYNNEX.
• Net revenue for this quarter exceeded $160 million.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City is no longer a Xbox 360 exclusive as it’s now coming to the Playstation 3 on March 30, 2010. This includes the last two chapters of the Grand Theft Auto IV saga on one Blu-Ray or downloadable on Playstation Network.

“Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City has been one of the most requested gameplay experiences by PlayStation fans, and we’re thrilled to finally bring the closing chapters of the GTA IV story from one of the biggest franchises in gaming to PS3,” said Rob Dyer, senior vice president of publisher relations, SCEA.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City will retail for $39.99. The Lost and Damned and the Balled of Gay Tony will be available the same day for purchase on Playstation Network.

Thankfully, it’s not strictly a port of the original. Since the Apple device has multitouch, that’s been brought into play with new controls (meaning this app has controls like about a zillion others – an onscreen joystick). The graphics have also been updated, difficuty levels have been tweaked, and “Independence Radio” has been added, allowing players to create iPod playlists during play.

Check out the following video to decide if you’re willing to shell out the $9.99 (for a faithful recreation, that’s a bargain).

# 6 THE BOUNCER

What do you get when you cross an angry, German pro-wrestler with a dash of Kingdom Hearts and a tattooed Asian? We get Volt Krueger, Sion Barzahd and Kou Leifoh, the three super-karate-fied heroes of Squaresoft’s first Playstation 2 title! SURPRISE! “The Bouncer!” Yep, this little number was the very first game I purchased for the Playstation 2.. This was when “Square” and “Soft” lived together in perfect harmony—still moderately cool, right? Anywho, “The Bouncer” turned from a bar fight into a space oddity in lightning speed and I couldn’t decide what was more bizarre, Echidna’s super-hold, cone-headed hair-do or the fact that Dominique was a cute, bug-eyed, blonde…cyborg thingy. I’m not sure why I focused all my attention on Squaresoft games back in the day, maybe it was because I felt the need to be one of those biased, disturbing fangirls after playing Final Fantasy VIII as a wee lass. You could say that “The Bouncer” was nothing special, but I try to discount all the mostly mediocre reviews because that’s just my style. Basically, it’s just a slew of short, cinematic cut scenes placed in-between fun “beat-em-up” gameplay and you can bet every, single character has their own suave taunt for amusing purposes. I do know one thing, “The Bouncer” was more entertaining than your mom and whipped cream on a Saturday night and surprisingly, it still remains so in this gal’s heart of hearts. I’ll admit, the “Story Mode” hardly made any real sense to me, but nothing was better than getting into brawls after school with my girlfriends. That is, until somebody would just have to pick Mugetsu. Remember him? He was that unbearably annoying ninja with an awesome ROFL copter roll move…thing. Also, something about Echidna’s Capoiera dance just makes me want to pop this bad-boy in again and again…and…

# 5 SUMMONER

I was one of those close-minded girls who refused to play anything that required less than forty hours to get through, so you can probably deduce I believed myself to one of those pseudo-cool gamer gals with an RPG-based diet. Of course, by now I’ve made it clear to “RPG” that I am promiscuous, but I’ve learned something valuable during my fidelity. RPG’s just adore their friggin’ “summons.” Occasionally, developers get risqué, so we’ve been duped into thinking a “Guardian Force,” “Aeon,”and “Element” are all different. So, this may sound lame but, in all my nagging, “Summoner” is an awesome game. Initially, I didn’t think it would be. As if the whole “Summoner” title couldn’t have been any less appealing to thine eyes, the cover-art displayed a dude on a mountain. Whoop-Dee-Freaking-Doo, right? The truth is, it was eleven bucks plus tax and I was aching for a fix. It is my ideal RPG albeit non-traditional in that the battle-system is not reminiscent of Final Fantasy and the side-quests are as massive as the main story-line. I enjoyed not standing in a straight line. I enjoyed the heartfelt storyline. I enjoyed getting to know the NPC’s and listening to their tales, whether of daily life or religious nuttery (I usually loathe the whole NPC portion, by the way). Overall, I just dig the feeling of “Summoner” and it taught me an important lesson: the video-game shelf is soiled with many bland, cheap, cliché, overlooked, and overhyped titles made just for you. Don’t judge, darnit! Get a doggy bag, slide-on a rubber (glove) and pick-up as many pieces of poop as you can handle and just maybe, it’ll turn to gold. “Summoner Geeks” is pretty legendary, though.

#3 GTA: VICE CITY

There’s nothing more satisfying than being a smooth-talking, Italian mobster voiced by Ray Liotta himself. Although I don’t have a long track-record of loving the whole “Sandbox” genre, GTA is perfect when I’m my emotions are raging in all different directions. Plus, I adore mob movies exponentially. Miami isn’t safe with a broad like me on the loose and this game has often made me wonder about my pleasure-seeking ways. I enjoy the pool of GTA titles for many different reasons; GTA allows me to destroy a city with no inhibitions and not go to jail if I run fast enough; that’s just awesome. GTA is a better reenactment of “Scarface” than the corresponding video-game title and I had been begging to explore my inner Tony Montana. GTA takes place in the 80’s, the time of loafers with no socks and odd music videos. As Mr. Shlomi would say, “I don’t know it sells itself!” I suppose “Vice City” stands-out over the others because it’s just one of those unquestionable instant classics in pop-culture. It has all the ingredients of a troubled era, all mixed-together in an entertaining game. I’ve enjoyed how “Grand Theft Auto” has progressed with simple things, but I’m always anxious to see how Rockstar will continue to push the boundaries of stealing, murdering, and casual sex.

# 2 PRIMAL

The story of a girl and her gargoyle would have never felt like a great idea until “Primal” proved me wrong. This game is cleverly composed of so many awesome elements that have pushed me to plug-in my Playstation 2 time and again. “Primal” is a prime example of overflowing badassery; from its eerie graphical arrangement to its masterful soundtrack, it had me compelled from the get-go. Something about being this demonic, crimson-lipped bird searching for her boyfriend in the planes of oblivion had some real-life appeal to me, maybe? If you want to know the truth, I was hooked on this Jennifer Tate character. There’s definitely a difference between living “on the edge” and hanging off one with one-hand, but Ms. Tate has it down. She was funny, sexy, charming, witty, and was accompanied by a useful side-kick—what more could you ask for, really? Although Jennifer sported some butt-squeezing attire and a fierce attitude to match, it was hardly enough to knock Lara into the bog below, but it was enough to convince me of my love for this heroine. Besides my weird girl-crush, one of my favorite aspects of this game is solving puzzles in different perspectives as both Jen and Scree, an endearing duo. I liked flashy effects and I liked transforming into all these advantageous freaky-deaky creatures from hell. The combat gameplay satisfied my nightly blood-lust as a latent sinner in this fabulous, virtual realm. Holy Gargoyles Batman! So much trouble for one boyfriend, but I’m sure he’d do the same for Jennifer, right?

# 1 ICO

The whole Princess in the castle bit has always gone way over my head, which is probably why I progressed away from Mario, Peach, and Nintendo in general fairly quickly. Although I enjoy the classic “brave savior” tale once in a great while, “ICO” happens to be one of my favorite games of all time—totally contradicting, I know. I mean, no, I don’t think I’ve ever been more annoyed with the concept of holding a girl’s hand but it somehow makes me feel important, you know? What’s so great about being a boy with horns being slapped with responsibility to defend a beautiful chick against menacing shadows? I guess it’s the immersive factor, really. The environments are vast and totally gorgeous. You see, I’m one of those gals who enjoys a painful amount of information overload during every, single conversation (I’m looking at you, “Mass Effect”) but “ICO” doesn’t blabber and I enjoyed that. It’s all very visual and emotional and as Lead Developer Fumito Ueda envisioned back in ’97, he wanted a game that played-out like a film and, despite the lack of heavy dialogue, would solidify a powerful bond between a boy and a girl. After fours years in development, I can truly say that this video-game is a piece of priceless art. It’s extremely hard not to appreciate Ueda’s imagination and this is exactly why I see games such as “ICO” and “Shadow Of The Colossus” refraining from getting lost in the whole next-generation craze. If there was one game I couldn’t say enough good things about, it would probably be “ICO.” Although rare, it’s totally worth it when you finally stumble upon a game like this and it’s totally worth it when a corny game is totally worth it.

I can feel myself coming down with something mean already, Dear School. What are some of your favorite PS2 titles, guys and gals?

Take-Two Interactive had a conference call today with investors and media to talk about the third quarter. During that call, the mentioned about the settlement for the Hot Coffee class action suit.
