Rockstar Games is finally bringing back the GTA franchise! Rockstar fans loved the Wild West setting of Red Dead Redemption but it was totally different from GTA. The fifth installment will take gamers back to the beloved San Andreas. The first time gamers got their hands on GTA: San Andreas was in 2004. Bringing back San Andreas isn’t exactly a surprise since GTA: San Andreas remains the best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time. The trailer was released on 2nd November and already has more than 2,2 million views. Drooling from this trailer? Check their Facebook page for the latest updates.

Number three is related to a serious cause: Prostate Cancer. The Movember movement gathered “mustache growers” all over the world to grow, show and connect with fellow “Mo’s”. You can donate to a moustache grower in order to raise money and fight cancer. The video was posted on October 27th and got half a million views already and explains the whole concept. Are you willing to sprout some facial hair to fight cancer?

Last February Nokia decided to team  up with Microsoft, abandoning their Symbian OS for the Windows Phone OS. Since then it’s been pretty quiet on their partnership, up until now. The latest Lumia 800 is the first flagship phone from Nokia using the WP7 OS. The design and internal parts are based on the Nokia N9, that was the first and probably last Nokia phone running MeeGo. The Nokia ad is on-line since 25th October with 300.000 views so far. For more info head over to the official page of Lumia .

5. Kinect Effect

New material to think about from Microsoft’s Kinect. The most innovative feature in console gaming so far did have lighting speed start. With this Microsoft did something to keep things rolling: re-introducing something astonishing and bringing a wide variety of features for now and the near future. For people who already have Kinect it might bring even more joy to the package than it does now. For people new to this product, it might be the moment to chip in! This video is up since October 27th and has more than 218,000 views.
