Grand Theft Auto IV
If you are a fan of the new Grand Theft Auto video game, I have just the neighborhood for you. The setting of GTA IV, Liberty City, is an amped-up version of the New York metro area. If you want a slice of the real thing, however, I'd recommend Chicago's South Side. The last time I visited Chicago, I stopped by 59th Street, near Washington Park (and only a few short blocks from the picturesque University of Chicago). Two of the local gangs were fighting each other in full view for control of a prime sales spot, a hotel. For a monthly fee, the proprietor had promised to allow one gang to turn the place into a bordello-drugs, prostitution, stolen merchandise. For the gangs, winning meant more than simply getting rid of their enemy. Neither controlled the area surrounding the hotel. Anyone bringing drugs (or women, or guns, etc.) to the hotel would have to run the gantlet formed by other enemy gangs, who would be at the ready to shoot down the transporter.» Read More

Engadget reports:
''Rolling around jacking up innocents and tossing Molotov cocktails is pretty enthralling on your vanilla 46-inch HDTV, but can you even imagine the rush of swiping a hot dog, burning out in someone else's whip and then snagging a new pair of kicks on this?''

Kotaku writes:
"Fortunately, Rockstar must have realized that they left something out in their instruction manual because they've recently published a PDF dedicated just to multiplayer gaming.
The guide is filled with interesting tips and info. For instance, they explain how Party Mode work, something that has been driving me crazy since the launch. Turns out that when playing team modes, the game tries to find a similarly sized party to match you up with. In competitive modes it just fills up the slots with people and gets you going.
There are also plenty of usefull tips in the guide, like using blip settings to tweak your difficulty setting, and how auto-aim is an "awesome feature" that is often misunderstood and absolutely doesn't level the playing field."
Hit the jump for the full guide.

Calin Ciaba reports:
''The problem that's driving everybody mad and the Grand Theft Auto IV developers older by the hour (probably) - the freezing of Grand Theft
Auto IV - was supposed to be fixed with the latest PS3 patch released by Rockstar yesterday. However, it seems that nothing like that happened - many players were still complaining about their GTA IV freezing and didn't really understand what that 1.01 really meant.''

Rockstar "apologize for the inconvenience this has caused." GTAIV should be back in the good graces of the Sony masses once more, hopefully.

MyGEN just received this from Microsoft showing some nice numbers. Now they wonder what the numbers would have been if they included all those imported copies. Mario Kart for the wii came in at 3rd while the Playstation 3 version of the GTA IV came in at second. Press release below.

Now that one week has gone since GTA IV release, the statistic for the GTA IV sales the first week has been released on vgchartz.com.
If we take GTA IV on both consoles and compares it with Halo 3, then GTA IV would of course win, but since Halo 3 is exclusive for Xbox 360, should we not compare GTA IV side by side with Halo 3 one console at a time?
Well then it shows that GTA IV has sold about 3.3 millions copies on Xbox 360, and about 2.65 million copies on PS3.
The conclusion is still that Halo 3 is the leader of first week sales with a crushing 3.75 million copies sold the first week

Looks like Grand Theft Auto IV got a little band-aid patchwork today with a 1.01 update. It's a small little tweak at 18 MB, and it supposedly will fix up those freezing problems everyone's been getting antsy over. So far, we've been playing with the new patch for the past few minutes and everything seems to be going smoothly.
