Chinatown Wars 'Far Bigger' than Older PSP GTA Games
In the newest issue of Nintendo Power contains an interview with the President of Rockstar Leeds, Gordon Hall. As most of you know Rockstar Leeds is the studio which developed the two PSP GTA games.
QUOTE(Gordon Hall)
Chinatown Wars is much bigger than anything we have ever done before: more odd jobs, deeper missions, and more moments of over-the-top action. We have a huge interaction with the Rockstar Social Club, a massive game that would stand alone on its own. The list goes on and on; this thing is huge. We are very proud of all of the PSP games we have made, especially the two GTA games, but this game is far bigger.
Chinatown Wars will be released on March 17, one month after GTA IV's DLC episode The Lost and Damned on the Xbox 360.
From famine to feast, as they say. Now that we've started getting some actual info about GTA IV's DLC the floodgates have opened and it's been new information left and right! In keeping with that Rockstar has released 8 new screenshots from the highly anticipated Lost and Damned!
An amazing night for Rockstargames, Grand Theft Auto IV took home a stunning three of the seven nominated awards including "Game Of The Year", "Best Action Adventure Game", and "Best Performance By A Human Male" for Michael Hollick as Niko Bellic.
Also making the scene moments ago, the world premiere of the trailer for, The Lost & Damned, the Xbox 360 Downloadable Content was shown at the Spike TV 2008 Video Game Awards. A action-packed trailer giving some insight to the storyline, characters, features and mayhem for us to expect.

Reminder: 'Lost and Damned' First Look on Spike TV Tonight
This is just a quick message to remind you of the premiere of the Lost and Damned DLC that will be appearing on Spike TV tonight, live, from 9.00pm EST, during the 2008 Video Game Awards.
For anyone who can't watch Spike TV in their living room, you will be able to watch the awards online via the live stream.
The Lost and Damned episodic content pack is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and is scheduled to be released on February 17th, 2009.
Looks like Rockstar has pulled though with the promised patch for the, sadly, buggy PC version of GTA IV. The patch is 32.6MB and can be downloaded by connecting the game to LIVE.
Among the fixes included are:
A fix for ATI 1900 shadows.
Improvements to the particle systems and mirrors.
Changed made to multiplayer character settings are saved.
A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
Support for DirectInput controllers.
Several improvements to the video editor like smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better FX during replays
Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice.
Following on from TIME's award for best video game of 2008, X-Play has announced the winners of its sixth annual Best of 2008 Awards, in which GTA IV won in the 'Best Writing' category.
For those of you who didn't fully agree with the rest of TIME's Top 10 list (i.e. everybody), you should find that these awards make a little more sense, with hits like LittleBigPlanet, Left 4 Dead, Fable II, Fallout 3 and MGS4 all making an appearance in at least one category. You can find the full list of winners in the source link below.
ATI has released Catalyst 8.12, a new set of drivers. If you have been experiencing problems in GTA4 with your ATI-powered videocard, this pacakge might improve overall performance. Go ahead, give it a shot and be sure to share the results in our forums!
Popular newsmagazine TIME has released its list of Top 10 Video Games of 2008, placing GTA IV right at the top, above other serious competitors such as LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Here's the full listing:
1. Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, 360, PC) 2. Braid (360) 3. LittleBigPlanet (PS3) 4. Rock Band 2 (360, PS3) 5. Gears of War 2 (360) 6. Dead Space (360, PS3, PC) 7. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii, 360, PS3, DS, PSP) 8. Hunted Forever (free Flash) 9. Fieldrunners (iPhone) 10. Spore (PC)
No doubt this is just the first of many GOTY 2008 awards GTA IV can expect to receive within the next couple of months or so.
