GTA IV was one of the best games of 2008 and is getting some nice DLC on February 17th, well for Xbox 360 owners anyway. This is the Microsoft hyped Xbox 360 exclusive content that was promised back before GTA IV was even released.

But after a slew of new games (AngryGamers mentions Gears of War 2, I thought more along the lines of the newish sandbox game, Spore, and the latest WoW expansion, Wrath of the Lich King), is anyone still playing GTA? Are you? Are you excited for the new GTA content, or too busy with your new games to care?

Read the rest of their thoughts at GTA IV Lost and the Damned Preview – Game previews, 360 previews, PS3 previews, Wii preview – Angry-Gamers.net.

New content for GTA4 will be available on February 17th, 2009.

But this kid was clearly influenced by GTA in some way:

A 6 year-old boy in Virginia missed his school bus so he decided to take his parents’ car to school. During his time behind the wheel, he passed some cars, made a couple of 90º turns and ran off the road a few times. He eventually crashed after driving almost 6 miles, but suffered only minor injuries. His parents were then charged with child endangerment when it was found that his mom was asleep during the incident. The funny part of the story was that he told police he learned to drive while playing Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam.

So mom was asleep and the little boy just hopped in the car without her noticing? I think we can use this as a valuable lesson about not leaving children unattended.

As Playfeed points out, this little boy must really like school!

The satirical twitter of Cliffy_B, named after and following the exploits of Gears of War
designer Clifford Bleszinski, has been shut down by Epic games. The
page featured tweets poking fun at the Cliffy B phenomenon and his
occasionally overly machismo quotes, all the while finding time to take
the occasional jab at Gears of War 2’s faults. Two personal favorites were:

“After much testing, it looks like matchmaking is permanently broken. There are new maps though, only 800 Microsoft Points!”

“Gears
didn’t win Game of the Year because it’s NOT GotY. It’s game of the
friggin’ century! Best game in EXISTENCE! Take that GTA4!”

For obvious reasons, I think jokes about the Epic dev team and working on GoW2 are extra funny. I also am a big fan of FakeSarahPalin and other “celeb” tweeters, so of course I’m following FakeCliffy_B now!

Well the Sequence is somewhat like this.
GTA3 has a Same core and the first game out was Liberty City with not so Good Graphics and Rendering and it was of course old tolday.
then Comes Vice city, this one is GTA 3b not GTA IV!!!
after Vice city Comes San Andreas (ONE OF THE BEST PLAYED TILL today with lots of New MODS and stuff)

and this year in 2008 comes GTA IV and is Available only for PS3 and Xbox360.
