Also check out some of the San Andreas Mobile reviews that have come in below with hands-on details from leading mobile game critics on how well the game has translated to phones and tablets:

 

"There's a number of virtual control options, including digital and analog steering, analog sensitivity, invert look, complete customization of where the buttons are on screen, and tons more. If you've got an iOS game controller the game works with that too... San Andreas will keep you busy for weeks to come- Or even longer if you're a completionist into 100%-ing the game... Stop what you're doing, find some WiFi, and download Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right now." - Touch Arcade

"It’s going to be a homecoming for some, while others will get to experience the magic of Rockstar Games’s first venture into the city of Los Santos and the surrounding areas. Either way, it’s going to be a treat." - Arcade Sushi

"Even if GTA: San Andreas didn't work with controllers, it would still be an easy recommendation: it's a full graphics-enhanced port of the infamously long PlayStation 2 game, at a very reasonably price of $6.99... Playing on one of these iOS 7 game controllers, however, makes a lot of the onscreen buttons disappear, and frees up the precious 4 inches of screen space for unobstructed viewing.... San Andreas is an absolute must-buy." - CNET

The First Rockstar Verified GTA Online Jobs

Thanks to the awesome and inspired work of the GTA Online Creator community, there are now over one million player-created Jobs that have been published for others to play. Today we present the very first officially Rockstar Verified Jobs made by players, hand-picked and stamped with our Rockstar seal of approval from amongst the tons and tons of awesome Deathmatches and Races out there. Stay tuned for many, many more Rockstar Verified Jobs to be announced in the weeks and months ahead. These Jobs have been hand-selected and tested by us. Please note that all Job names below are as originally chosen by their creators, except where we felt obliged to change them due to taste, copyright or other reasons. Also please note that when Jobs are Rockstar Verified, they become available for play across both platforms, so players on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 can all enjoy these now.
 

RACES: 

Over The Hill II by LXG_No_Mercy

You may have seen us playing this one during last weekend’s Social Club Event live-stream show. "Over the Hill", from the veteran LXG Crew and their outspoken leader LXG No Mercy, is currently amongst thetop 10 most popular Xbox 360 Jobs. This epic up-and-downhill off-road Race climbs over Mt. Chiliad with multiple obstacles to navigate through some of the roughest terrain San Andreas has to offer.

Jump and Die by keatonw33

Another of the top 10 most popular Xbox 360 Jobs, this Race has some extreme jumps spanning five major areas. Not-so-shy to show off his own take on a creative jump-shot, keatonw33 takes us through a chaotic but fun endurance test as he challenges: “Your car will need all the armor it can get… maybe wings too!” 

Jumps Jumps Jumps by iTzPressure

This simple Race arranges some perfectly placed jumps along a dusty stretch of highway starting in Mount Gordo and ending up in the Grand Senora Desert. See if you have what it takes to brave this deadly game of heavy metal hopscotch. 

Quick 'n Quarrelsome by FatiguePsycho

A very fun Los Santos Race from a member of the Velocity X Crew, this challenging double-helix-looking circuit of "tricky twists and turns" will put your cornering skills to the test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drift King by MrPalms

 

It would appear a careful chemistry went into this decked-out race course on the docks submitted byWalterWhitePlc Crew Commissioner, MrPalms. Squared off alongside the water, missing those Check Points will punish you in this sink or swim challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LS Forum by caskillo

 

A Velo/NASCAR-style rooftop race atop the Maze Bank Arena, this Top 10 Most Popular PS3 Job is a RPM extravaganza. We highly recommend motorbikes as the transport of choice, for the full wind-rushing-through-your-hair effect that can only be achieved by going in tight circles at top speed hundreds of feet above downtown Los Santos.  

DEATHMATCHES:

Seal Team Six by ishtheengineer

Spawn into this Deathmatch with Rhinos, Lazers and Buzzards (oh my) for an all-out battle at the Sandy Ridge airport. Heavy firepower with lots of room to stretch your legs. This artillery attack follows the simple formula that everything goes better with high-end explosives and military-grade hardware.

Saving Ryan's Privates by dafr3aka

Despite the cheeky title, this Deathmatch ranks highly as a brutal gauntlet where you are instructed to "eliminate your enemy using your military training" and hardware which seems entirely appropriate for a crunch-time arms display on Pillbox Hill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prison Thugz Fight by Mike921

 

The Bolingbroke Penitentiary has certainly been a popular location for up-and-coming match makers and this one is a standout example of why. Resident inmates learn the full meaning of daily wRECk time in the yard with enough baseball bats, knifes and nightsticks to keep this jailhouse melee rockin' around the clock.  

 

 

Bridge of Death by Junestar225

 

Nowhere to go but down it would seem. Square off against your enemies on a fortified bridge with no shortage of projectiles, firearms, active traffic, wreckage and plenty of barriers to make this a chaotic cocktail of death and destruction above the La Puerta Bay.

 

 

Think you've made a pretty awesome Playlist-worthy Job we should consider for Rockstar Verification? Share some details and links in comments below (although please only post your Job once, do not spam) so that others in the Social Club community can try it and we may just check it out as well. It’s always good practice to get the rest of the Community at large playing your Race or Deathmatch for feedback and further testing to help fine-tune it into a masterpiece. Stay tuned for more Rockstar Verified player-made Jobs to be announced soon.

Fan Pics: Famous Rides of Film and TV Invade GTA Online, Uncanny Jimmy Hopkins Look-alike & More

This week's collection of fun GTAV and Rockstar fan pics features an inspired photoset of vehicle shots, with everything from Vinewood Hollywood recreations to some well-made mock adverts. There's also some exceptional fan art, an uncanny bit of Jimmy Hopkins cosplay along with some standout Snapmatics of the picturesque natural beauty found in the Greater Los Santos area.

As always, if you happen upon (or take) any cool GTA or Rockstar-related shots make sure to send them our way via Mouthoff and remember to follow us at instagram.com/rockstargames for all our latest official pics.

Clockwise from top left: @Meoriz shared his spin on the classic Adam West era Batmobile; and a trio of Redditors show off their TV and film inspired creations as ClydeMason1911 remakes the General Lee, JordanLorenze nailed this take on Spring Breakers, and blacklambgreyfalcon brings Dr. Alan Grant to Los Santos.
 

 
"Childhood dream come true, thanks to sticky bombs." Redditor, Berdu got creative with explosives, recreating KITT from Knight Rider and managed to only blow himself up five times in the process of creating this excellent animated GIF.

Bad ass Red Dead Redemption tat pairing Marston and the Scarlet Lady by Iowa-based artist @alecbauertattoo.

A spot-on Jimmy Hopkins look-alike readying his trusty sling shot - spotted by @alfienitsura at this year's Akicon in Seattle.

Deviant Artist davidstonecipher 's action-packed rendering of Michael, Trevor and Franklin making a hectic getaway. Also check out his cartoony take on Marston and other Rockstar related strips.

Midnight Club II's cover-car Saikou XS drawn in Microsoft Paint? Wow. Kudos to @SeleOfficialArt for keeping it properly old school.

Above, Redditor and car enthusiast Vezuvius has created a very fun and convincing original series of GTAV vehicle adverts that look like they could have been pulled straight from the pages of this week’s Prattle.
 

In the Ansel Adams category, Birmandude1 photographed this picturesque oasis tucked away in Blaine County.

Redditor and off-road adventurer, paperclipman123 joined PLAINFIELDian for some four-wheeling fun. This shot is a beaut that seems to perfectly capture a day spent taking in the rarefied thrills of Mount Chiliad. 

ASSASSIN’S CREED IV BLACK FLAG – COMMUNITY SCHEDULE AND NEWS

Depending on who you ask this time of year is either the best, or the absolute worst.
