GTA V is on the verge of releasing and Take Two are taking down media assets left and right. That wasn't the only big news of the week. Valve managed to steal some thunder from Microsoft after the mini 'M' announced that they were taking the only thing people were looking forward to about the Xbox One, away. That's right, Steam now has the Family Share Plan and it's received quite a bit of praise. Sony, not to be left completely in the dust, announced that the PS Vita TV is on the way and it will make it convenient for gamers to play their Vita games on TV. These stories and more in this September 14th, 2013 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
