Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete may be released October 26

It’s hard to believe a game that was originally released over two years ago is still coming out with new editions. GTA IV was revitalized by its two dowloadable episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. They were so well received, some believed this is the route future GTA games should take. Whether or not you agree is subjective, but we can all agree combining everything GTA IV into one package is a sweet deal.

Take-Two releases earnings report, second GTA IV episode coming October 2009

The first Xbox 360-exclusive episode of Grand Theft Auto IV, titled The Lost and the Damned, has been well received by critics and fans since its February 2009 release. Wedbush Morgan Analyst Michael Pachter estimates L&D has sold more than 1 million copies to date and will reach the 2 million mark by the end of October 2009. While we will wait to see if his estimates come true, Take-Two Interactive released its Q1 Earnings Report which details a list of games that will be released by October 31, 2009.

Rockstar has not confirmed what the second downloadable episode will be about but…

GTA IV now on Steam

For those of you who don’t already own Grand Theft Auto IV, it’s finally made the jump to the Steam network for direct-download purchase.

The game is not new, although there were quite a few people who were unable to get it when it was released for consoles. This is a bit of a holiday gift for both gamers and Rockstar Games: PC gamers get a great game, Rockstar Games gets more money which leads to more great games for you. See, it balances out.

If you plan on getting the game, it will set you back $49.99. If you have a…

Games for Windows reveals GTA IV PC requirements

Grand Theft Auto IV has been on consoles for quite some time now but the release of the PC version is not too far behind, hitting shelves on on November 18, 2008. In true Rockstar fashion, additional information about new features the game will bring has been few and far between. The most recent infromation concerning the release comes from Microsoft instead of the game’s developer.

Games for Windows posted on its site the recommended system requirements for GTA IV. It also indicates that GTA IV will feature new high-resolution technology, an expanded…

Cut/Scenes: GTA IV – the new summer blockbuster

So, by now we’ve all heard the buzz. Grand Theft Auto IV has officially eclipsed previous records for gaming, selling half a billion dollars worth in its first week. The New York Times reported the news early yesterday, and Take-Two confirmed (according to a Kotaku post), leaving RockStar and Take-Two with the hottest entertainment property going right now.

Though it’s difficult to compare game sales to box office performance (after all, people don’t pay $59.99 for movie tickets), I’m going to do it anyway. The current number one in domestic movies is Iron Man, which according to the latest chart in Variety, has generated total sales of $115,559,020 in its first five days. So the top videogame has eclipsed the top movie by tremendous factor. Even considering the rather unfair comparison, this is quite revolutionary, and possibly a bit startling.
