Return to Liberty City on PC and PS3

Finally announced for the PC and PS3 platforms, Rockstar will release their big DLC packages The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony on March 30th. The extra content has been available for nearly a year on XBox Live, but is now trickling down to less-favored platforms.

The packages had wide critical acclaim, but I think I may have moved on from GTAIV. The technical issues and DRM that hampered the title on the PC really got in the way of my enjoyment. It was certainly a good game that I had a lot of fun with when it worked, but it was hard to get past the graphical bugs and continual disk read errors. At $40, unless the games are bug-free, I wouldn't consider subjecting myself to that frustration again.

Grand Theft Auto IV for PC Release Date

Rockstar announced the release date for GTAIV on PC: November 21st. Pefect for the holiday season! Family and friends, take note.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Just in case you hadn't heard, GTAIV comes out tomorrow -- 12:01am if you're lucky enough to be close to a midnight launch facility. All reports indicate this is probably game of the year, even though we're only in April. The sheer scope of the game, the natural alive feeling city, and no shortage of things to shoot, wreck, steal, gather, photograph, and capture make the game the biggest ever.

Too bad I have to wait a year for the PC version...
