If your like me, then in recent weeks you have probably been wondering to yourself: “Where will I be spending 60+ hours on end exploring, thieving, beating, shooting, wandering, driving, flying, jumping in the new Grand Theft Auto?” Well wonder no longer. As of today, Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto V will be taking place in a city that we are all familiar with: San Andreas.

Yes, it is a return to a past life. However, this teaser raises more questions. Los Santos (mock up of Los Angeles) has been revealed in the trailer, but will Las Venturas (Las Vegas) make a come back? Will San Fierro (San Fransisco) return? Let’s hope so. And whose voice and character model will we be playing as? Was that Tommy Vercetti from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City? And that voice sounds familiarly similar to Ray Liotta.

As you can see in the trailer, the graphics are stunning and at an all time high for the franchise. Furthermore, the environment looks vast and perfect for the exploring gamers needs.We can see the skyline of downtown Los Ang…er Los Santos, the beauty of Santa Monic…Santa Maria Beach, and the enjoyment of the Paradi….Pleasure Pier.

No release date has been announced, but looking at GTA IV as an example, I’m guessing sometime around April in 2012.

Odd question, I know, but if you are playing “Batman: Arkham City”, you may have across this little easter egg that was either placed to get fans talking or may mean more to the future of the franchise.

When we spoke to Paul Dini, writer of BAC, he said he always places subtleties in his comics that will get the fans excited. This may very well be one of those things.

If you played “Batman: Arkham Asylum”, you may have found the secret room with detailed plans of Arkham City. The writers and game designers obviously had planned the future of the franchise and in this case, we could be seeing Harley coming back in a bigger role should there be a future game. And if Paul Dini has his way, there will be.

The easter egg can be found on the desk in the Joker’s Funhouse next to Harley’s outfit from “Batman: Arkham City”. Rumor has it, if you find the test before the game is complete, you can hear Harley singing “Hush Little Baby” (confirm in the comments if you have experienced this) which may indicate that she has already given birth to the Joker’s child…mind blown.

Be sure to listen to our interview with Paul Dini for more about BAC and the future of the franchise.

Featuring the intense melee skills of Nightwing, a.k.a Dick Grayson, the trailer showcases the character’s punishing arsenal of fighting moves that can be used against Arkham City’s hardened thugs.  Nightwing comes complete with his own unique gadgets and special moves, and is playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that are included with the pack: Wayne Manor and Main Hall. The pack also contains a bonus Animated Series Nightwing character skin.

The Nightwing Bundle Pack will be available November 1 on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for 560 Microsoft Points and PlayStation®Network for $6.99.  The Robin Bundle Pack will also become available on November 22 to all owners of the game for the same price.

Enjoy
