Elon Musk has introduced Grok, a unique AI model, designed to reply to prompts with a dash of humor. Grok is integrated with the X platform. If you are not a fan of humour, this AI may not be your cup of tea, says xAI. Grok leverages real-time knowledge from the X platform, empowering it to tackle even the spiciest of queries. Although it's still in beta, this AI model, with two months of training under its belt, aims to refine and expand its capabilities over time.
Top 10 best-selling video games of all time: Minecraft, GTA 5, and more
17.10.2023 - 12:07 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Of All / Best / Minecraft
The gaming industry was once famously ridiculed as “just a passing fad” by Michael Moon, an official representative of the board game maker Milton Bradley in 1977. However, that history is proof that is far from the case, with the videogame industry now worth a staggering $200 billion in 2022. Video games have become the ultimate form of entertainment not just for kids, but for adults too, enabling them to fulfill all their fantasies in the virtual world which would be impossible otherwise. Be it Spider-Man and save New York City against the Sinister Six? No problem. Want to be part of the Italian Mob and take on rival gangs in 1930s Chicago? Of course. Video games allow you to be just about anything imaginable. It is due to this that the virtual world of gaming has been highly successful so far, with video games raking in millions of dollars. However, some of them stand above the rest.
From Minecraft to GTA 5, check out the top 5 best-selling video games of all time with the full list of 10 at the bottom.
Minecraft, developed by Mojang Studios, is a sandbox game in a world where players can explore, build, fight, or simply survive. Launched in 2011, it has become the best-selling video game of all time with 238 million copies sold across multiple platforms.
Grand Theft Auto 5 or GTA 5 is Rockstar Games' open-world action-adventure and is the 7th main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. It puts players in the shoes of three characters - Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Players can carry out several nefarious activities such as planning heists, robbing people, and stealing cars, alongside following the main storyline. GTA 5 is the second best-selling video game of all time with 175 million copies shipped.
Who doesn't love Tetris? Not the one developed by Alexey Pajitnov in 1985, but Electronic Arts' version that was released in 2006. In Tetris, players need to place different shapes on top of each other to complete the lines which then disappear, freeing up space for more lines. Tetris is the third best-selling video game of all time with 100 million units sold.
Wii Sports came out in 2006 and took the world by storm. It features five different sports for players to enjoy - tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. Owing to its popularity, Wii Sports has become the fourth best-selling video game of all time, with 82.9 million copies shipped.
Player Unknown's Battlegrounds or PUBG: Battlegrounds is a PvP game where 100 players engage in battle to survive until the end and earn “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner”. It is an immensely popular game that has catapulted it to the fifth spot in the list of the best-selling video games of all time with 75 million units sold, despite being launched in 2017.

Invincible season 2, Gen V finale, Netflix’s Blue Eye Samurai, and more new TV this week
It’s not an official theme or anything, but this week’s TV is all about fighting. There’s the two sides of superhero coming-of-age stories on Prime Video alone: the season finale of Gen V and the season premiere of Invincible. Over on Netflix there’s Blue Eye Samurai, a new show about one woman’s quest for revenge in Edo-era Japan, while on Paramount Plus the new Taylor Sheridan-produced show about Bass Reeves (David Oyelowo) is sure to bring on some Wild West violence.

Alan Wake 2 has the best 15-minute stretch in a video game in years
To say that Alan Wake 2 hooked me at the outset would be an understatement. The survival-horror masterpiece was gripping, surreal, and creepy from the second Remedy Entertainment gave me control of a naked man who had just crawled out of a supernatural lake and found himself lost in the woods and hunted by a maniacal cult. But one sequence, a little more than halfway through the story, convinced me that I was truly playing a game for the ages.

I have scoured my Soliton Radar for discounts that will let you secure a classic like Metal Gear Solid and remain financially liquid. The only foreseable problem: the Master Collections of these games do seem to be selling out quite rapidly on PlayStation and Xbox. Here's hoping stock levels remain stable (or get quickly refreshed via nanomachines).
