GTA4 Ecstasy Bundle now in some UK stores!

April 8th, 2009 · 8 Comments

Boy that would be a million seller huh?  Though it’s not quite an official offer, a man in Gloucester (UK) found some X hidden in the instruction manual for GTA4 that he picked up for his son at a local GameStation.  The game was used which means there’s probably some english kid running around his [...]

Do game warnings make you want them more?

March 3rd, 2009 · 4 Comments

As a handful of SG faithful may know, I’m an avid reader of UK newspaper The Times (famed for writing about our Microsoft Surface parody…and not crediting us by name). It’s probably the reason for my writing being so immensely BORING.
Anyway, way back in March last year they wrote an article about UK child psychologist [...]

Rockstar replaces first R with a C?

February 17th, 2009 · 13 Comments

What do you get when you take Rockstar, and replace the first “R” with a “C”?  Apparently you get this cutscene from the new Lost and Damned DLC, featuring full frontal male nudity.  Wow, if I was on the fence already about buying the DLC, surely news of a digital dong will push me over [...]

February 16th, 2009 · 7 Comments

Yesterday, Sunday, I purchased GTA IV’s expansion for the Xbox 360, two days before it was released.  I purchased it from Gamestop.  Now, before the internets go on fire, just know that you can buy it early too.
In fact everybody can.  What is this all about? Find out, after the jump.

February 13th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Hot on the heels of The Lost and Damned, the first of many planned pieces of downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV, comes The Found and Blessed. While it’s not been confirmed by Rockstar to even exist, I recently went out to Edinburgh (it’s about 42 miles from here, as the crow flies) to [...]

Another GTA IV release, another problem…

December 3rd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Yep… I’m still bitter.  I was one of the many that had issues with GTA IV on the PS3 and one of the few that never had those issues go away.  Some 360 owners had issues running GTA IV right after it was released as well.  It looks like PC gamers are filling out their [...]

GTA IV Exclusive 360 DLC Is Coming… 10 Months Later

November 20th, 2008 · 17 Comments

It’s been almost seven months since GTA IV was released and according to the latest word from *scratches head* USA Today, it’ll be another few months before the Xbox 360 exclusive DLC will be available.   Typically games have run their course in the time span of 10 months, it seems really strange to me that [...]

Is the idea of exclusive DLC more important than the actual DLC?

October 23rd, 2008 · 8 Comments

As a gamer who plays PS3 games more often than 360 or Wii games, I’m no stranger to the “Exclusive Downloadable Content Coming Only To Xbox 360!” for quite a while now. I mean the year’s most prominent exclusive DLC has to be Grand Theft Auto IV’s still mysterious two DLC installments.  We’ve recently learned [...]

I finally got my game on

September 24th, 2008 · 27 Comments

I guess I am what you call a casual gamer. Don’t flame me. Not really sure what “flame” means, but that sounds like something you hard core peeps might do to a casual gamer like me.
A few nights ago I decided to create a profile on Xbox. I thought my husband would [...]

Liberty City, I’m home.

September 18th, 2008 · 7 Comments

It’s been several months since I devoured Grand Theft Auto 4. Since I met best Jamaican pal, Little Jacob. Since my girlfriend was (Spoiler!) tragically gunned down in front of the church where we’d just been married.
Recently, I decided to pay Liberty City a little surprise visit. Turns out the town was waiting for me [...]

Grand Theft Auto inspires more juvenile family-saving

September 12th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Forget that girl who rescued her family when she realised that the upturned car they were trapped in might explode. Sure, she might have learnt that from Grand Theft Auto, but it was nothing compared to the actions of little Jessica Sanderson, 10, from Medford, Oregon, who took some inspiration from the game to save [...]
