Top 5 Unintentionally Horrifying Game Mods

As we run into December, it's that time of year again where gamers come together to debate, argue and ultimately celebrate the previous twelve months of gaming. While everyone will keep a mental note of their favorite game, Spike TV's awards ceremony often signals the beginning of 'Game of the Year' articles popping up just about everywhere on the internet. Although procedure was a little different this year as the VGAs went through a bit of a makeo


The video game industry has been a little unstable with its expectations in the last few years. Several top franchise games failed to meet lofty revenue goals - despite selling very well in their own right. Resident Evil 6 was deemed to have "fallen short of the plan" despite selling several million copies. Tomb Raide r , which sold 3.8 million copies at the time of the report, was deemed an "extraordinary loss" by Square Enix . Some blame the high expectations on Call of Duty with companies pumping more and more money into their games to try and replace the military shooter as one of the industry's most consistent sell


Game Modifications are a wonderful thing. They help expand the longevity of games, and give gamers some original content to toy around with. However, sometimes these modifications go horribly awry - not like they meant to, but some of them end up being downright horrifying. In the spirit of Halloween, we thought it might be a good idea to compile some of these accidental Frankensteins for you, because we don't want you to sleep at night for some reason (you should play Five Night's At Freddy's after this article, it's really relaxi


The studio's reluctance to pursue big name actors likely has as much to do with outrageous wage demands and ego trips as it does with authenticity. Tommy Vercetti's Ray Liotta reportedly made life difficult during his tenure in the recording booth for GTA Vice City , veering between Goodfella s-like excellence and other less-than-stellar cond


Call of Duty: Ghosts has a lot to overcome if it wants to even come close to GTA 5 money guide|https://gta5play.com/ V 's sales numbers. Even so, Activision seems confident that even if it isn't Call of Duty: Ghosts , their flagship franchise will hold the record again by the time Rockstar release the next game in the Grand Theft Auto ser


While Call of Duty remains one of the industry's most consistent moneymakers, it has begun to see a slow decline in sales over the last few years. On top of that, Activision revealed that the number of pre-orders for Call of Duty: Ghosts have been a little lower than expected - subsequently blaming the discrepancy on confusion over the next generation launch. Piling the odds against the game even further, this year they'll be up against Battlefield 4 , which is expected to be chasing sales records as w


Funnily enough, now it seems like Activision might be beginning to overestimate what is feasible for the series. Just a few weeks ago Grand Theft Auto V became the most successful entertainment franchise ever. Making $1 billion in just 3 days , the success of the game was extraordinary. Prior to that, Call of Duty: Black Ops was the most successful video game title and it seems like Activision isn't willing to let that record go just


But, with just nine days left in 2014 it doesn't seem as though the developer is going to make its original timeline - maybe they've been too busy with the game's release on Xbox One and PS4. That's especially true when you consider that Rockstar is also working on GTA Online's Heists as well as the PC release of the game , which are both scheduled for early 2

For plenty of gamers who plied their trade in Grand Theft Auto 4 , Niko Bellic just wasn't much of a relatable character. Thankfully, someone thought of a great idea - why not replace him with a giraffe, which is clearly a more relatable character for the average person. The video above demonstrates exactly why giraffes are kept in cages - because let loose, their murderous killing streak and godlike strength ascends into something far, far more horrifying. The way the giraffe's neck stiffly defies physics, coupled with the fact that gamers are, you know, playing as a giraffe as they murder and steal cars, make this mod eerily unsettling to watch.

If you do pick up GTAV for one of the newer platforms, but are not a returning player, there's no need to feel left out. Rockstar noted that new content is coming for both new and old players, including classic GTA cars. The rest of the surprises, however, will have to wait until the Xbox One and PS4 versions launch a few weeks from now. It's not yet clear if PC players will get even more extra toys to try out as well, since they have an extra two months to wait compared to console play
