Grand Theft Studio Remember howGrand Theft Auto Vmadeislands full of money? Publisher Take-Two is in a good spot with a billion in cash on hand. What to do with it. Maybe blow it on scratchers and cigarettes? CEO Strauss Zelnick has three alternatives that some might call “better.” “We have the opportunity to support organic growth with our balance sheet,” he says, which has typically been Take-Two’s method; building studios internally....

Play TF2 with your Dtoid community! Mike is on vacation, so you’re stuck with the pink robe this week. Sucks to be you! Boners! Muahahahaha! Pirates: very annoying on the front of a cereal box, even more annoying in space. In playingElite: DangerousI’ve seen quite a few things, but one thing stands out more than everything else. Most player pirates just can’t seem to get a firm grasp of the idea of proper pirating....

I hope more people do this going forward Disney games used to have a reputation: a good one! There were so many classics, and for a time, you could actuallycounton licensed games to be of at least average or above quality. Hell, evenToy Story Racerslapped. TheAladdinandLion Kinggames are almost in a league of their own for some people, and it looks like they’re going to get their due once again when Nighthawk Interactive and Digital Eclipse unleash theDisney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion Kingon collection October 29....

For this edition of The Network Roundup, I am making a public plea. No more zombie bath salts jokes! For the last couple days I haven’t been able to get on the train, go to work, or especially enter social media without someone cracking some type of zombie bath salts joke. I swear, it’s the hottest comedy material since Milli Vanilli! Just get it all out now so we can move on with our weekend....

I’ve only heard of about three of them When it’s not being an absurdly long name that’s a pain in the arse to type,Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignitionis the updated version of Sony and Dengeki Bunko’s crossover fighting game. It released in Arcades earlier this year, and we’ve known about the console release for a while now, but why not have a big ol’ trailer showing off the cast anyway?...

Still walking the dinosaur A couple weeks ago, Hamza posted some pictures of the newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Activision and Red Fly Studio’s upcoming venture. Naturally, he was curious why they wereso hideous looking. They look a bit like the horrifying Mason Verger inHannibal, whom I just learned was played by Gary Oldman as I took to Google for the character’s name. I also decided against linking a picture, because he still creeps me out....

Ready to get hacking? In a call with investors today, CEO Yves Guillermot confirmed that Ubisoft will releaseWatch Dogsin 2013, including it in a list of the publisher’s upcoming AAA titles. This is the second time we’ve heard that the game will release next year, albeit this serves as a far more legitimate assertion than the earliertweeted-then-deleted comment from Ubisoft. With the game only having been in development since 2010 and the ambition suggested by what we have been shown, a 2013 release window almost seems like it might be too good to be true....

The folks over at Tomopop have known for some time thatWeta is the bomb, so I wasn’t at all surprised to find out that they were behind the creation of the incredible statue you see above.Kotakureported on theWorld of Warcraft-themed effigy, which stands in front of their new offices for the world to oooh and aaah over. Blizzard employees were all given a small version of the statue to commemorate the move, but the front lawn gets the giant one, obviously....
