Product Name - Grand Theft Auto V - Bottom of ads in the middle, in the same font used on previous editions of the game.
3.Find three reviews for your game that were originally published in video game magazines. Are they positive or negative about the game? Copy and paste one quote from each review.
This is a positive review about Grand Theft Auto V, particularly the last line where the writer mentions 'Grand Theft Auto V is a masterpiece-one of the greatest games ever made'.
This is a positive review about GTA 5, particularly where the writer mentions 'GTA 5 is easily more likeable than its predecessors'.
This is a positive yet negative review about GTA 5 from the official Australia Play station Magazine, one quote I would draw attention to is the acronyms being associated with the game.
For front cover features of video games to be successful they need to use a variety of magazine key conventions. I think video game features are particularly successful when they help to create a buzz about the game which has been or is being released.
