GTA IV Xbox vs PC

By Gavin Mannion

There have been a lot of complaints about the technical and software requirements for GTA IV on PC but once you get it all up and running is it really worth it? Well after watching this video then I would say that if you were looking for the best graphics then the PC version is by far your best option. …

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.

Yesterday we announced that the new GTA IV DLC will be arriving in February and will follow the story of Johnny Klebitz, which makes me wonder why they don’t use a simple American name like Billy Ray or Bobby Bush… anyway back to the point. Today we have some screenshots for you and they are really looking awesome, I used …

Finally we have an answer about the GTA IV DLC that has been noticeable with it’s absence recently. Rockstar has now announced the first DLC (which is exclusive to the 360) will be made available on the 17th of February and will be entitled The Lost and Damned. If you recall The Lost was the name of the bikers gang and …

Exclusive: Epic takes a stab at Jack Thompson

So, the other night we were playing a game of Gears of War 2 and we were all destroying each other on a map called Day One. I have taken quite a liking to the photo mode that came with the game, so after my death, I was having my usual fun taking photo's of the action. On the Day One map there is a small street corner arcade, in which I found something rather interesting. You may remember that the infamous anti-videogame lawyer Jack Thompson always referred to the Grand Theft Auto series of games as a "murder simulator". Now looking at that header image will show you that Epic decided to poke a bit of fun at that whole mess by creating an arcade game by the name of "Murder Simulator" and placing it into the map. I live easter eggs like this and I think it was really cool that Epic took the time to take a quick stab at an industry story that has caused a lot of grief for gamers worldwide. At least Jack is barred for life now, so until another lunatic comes along and tries to pick up where he left off, we can all rest easy knowing that we can play our violent games in ironic peace.

Rumor: GTAIV Delayed on PC because of DRM?

By Nick De Bruyne

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.

GTA IV DLC still on track for Spring

As if the entire world was holding it's breath in anticipation of the news, Microsoft has now officially confirmed that the GTA IV DLC will be releasing in Autumn (Spring here in SA) and will then obviously be ready before Christmas. Microsoft are also happy to boast that the DLC is exclusive to the Xbox 360, just in case any PS3 owners missed it the first time around. Details of the DLC have still not been released and even though Rockstar doesn't have a habit of disappointing us, GTA IV's popularity has died down quite a bit as of late so the DLC will be a great way to get people to put their discs back in. Whether or not those same people are interested enough to jump back into the world of GTA one more time is another story. On a side note, I'm entirely convinced that this DLC will remain an Xbox 306 exclusive, so watch out for announcements about PS3 DLC shortly after. It may never come, but we can only hope. We will post more details when they become available.

EA throws in the towel

It’s all over… for now. EA Games has released a statement announcing that they are no longer pursuing a takeover bid for Take Two International. No real reasons have been given yet but I would wager it has something to do with the negative publicity combined with a great current EA line up and the new and improved financial position …
