Eurogamer have been counting down their top 50 games of the year and have finally come to the end. Instead of working on any solid formula they have basically just asked the team which games they liked the best that were released in 2008. Then they put them all together and ranked them accordingly… simple really and it has thrown …

GTA DLC: No new locations?

GTALostandDamned.jpg So we have finally received n ews on the GTA IV DLC that is on it's way and it looks like Rockstar have taken quite an interesting approach to how they have chosen to handle it. This is mainly because in the DLC you will no longer play as Niko Bellic, the usual hero of GTA IV. Nope, this time around you will thrown into the life of Johnny Klebitz, a member of the Lost biker gang that Niko runs into a couple of times in the original storyline. The question I want to raise is... what about the new cities or locations that everyone was harping on about a while ago? The new DLC will still take place in Liberty City and while I find the idea of jumping into a whole different character and story within the game, a lot of people have possibly already grown tired of seeing the sights and are ready for some new ones. It may be possible that DLC that includes extra locations may still come in future but for now, whether you are Johnny or Niko, you are going to be sharing the same turf for a while to come at the very least. The new DLC titles "Lost and Damned" will be available on February 17. No pricing had been given just yet.

Rumor: GTAIV Delayed on PC because of DRM?

Joystiq reports that product pages from GameStop and Amazon seem to now be displaying the release date of GTAIV for PC as December 2. Now, if you can't remember, the original release date for the game was November 18, meaning that the game is possibly looking at a two week delay. With many PC gamers dying to find out what all the fuss was about, as well as the fact that a lot of Christmas shopping will be done in November, the delay may hurt sales as well as test some PC gamer's patience. While the port does promise enhancements over the console version, you really have to wonder what could have possibly caused the delay. We reckon that there is the possibility that it could have something to do with the dreaded DRM. With so many PC sales being lost out to piracy these days, Rockstar could full well be taking some extra time to layer on a stronger copy-protection system for their game. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. The worst part of it all is that there is probably going to be a pirated version available on the net by November 18 anyway, which is not only sickening but also makes you wonder how much a two week delay could hurt sales.

GTAIV saves lives!

Well that's pretty much what people like Jack Thompson won't be saying. Interestingly enough though, it is actually true. A young girl from America-Land who's surname just happens to be Norris (Coincidence? I don't think so) has acted like a true heroine by saving both of her parents from a car wreck. While the family of five was on their way to visit some relatives, their 2000 Jeep Cherokee swerved off the road, smashing into a guardrail and playing the roley-poley four times before finally coming to rest on its roof with a smashed out back window. The young girl heroically saved her parents as well as her siblings from the wreck as her mom was hanging upside down and her father was pinned against behind the wheel. So how is Grand Theft Auto involved? More after the jump. Here comes the odd and interesting part. When asked, the mother of the 11 year old Audrey Plique gave the following reason for the motivation behind the girls heroics: "She just knew, from playing 'Grand Theft Auto.' She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up. She knew that could happen to us" I am not even going to ask why their 11 year old daughter is allowed to sit and watch them play a mature title like GTA IV but who am I to judge when the game is obviously a simulator that teaches us to recognise and take the necessary steps to prevent further injury or death. It goes both ways folks, if politicians say that children can learn murderous acts from the game due its realistic nature then they cannot deny that the game could teach good things as well. I am just thankful that she didn't run off to find the nearest hotdog vendor.
