| GTA IV coming to the PC - (GTASeries.com) |
After months of rumors and speculation, it's finally official:
GTA IV is coming to the PC.
Quote:
"We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to the PC. The game looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can't wait for people to play it."
It's planned for release in North America on November 18th and in Europe November 21st.
So far there isn't any information on system requirements, but it wouldn't surprise me if you'd need a pretty solid system.

| GTA Chinatown wars details leaked? - (GTASeries.com) |
The first batch of (possible) details concerning GTA Chinatown Wars have been leaked through a reader submitted survey.
The Wi-fi function may be used for cooperative gameplay and like most DS games, Chinatown Wars will most likely contain stylus-minigames such as assembling a sniper-rifle for assassination missions.

| more GTA related real-life crime - (GTASeries.com) |
Another case of game related violence occured in Thailand last weekend, as an 18 year old student killed a 54 year old taxi driver.
Supposedly the student shows no mental problems, and claimed did it because he wanted to see if it's as easy to jack a taxi in real life as it is done in the GTA games.
In response to this event, New Era Interactive Media (supported by the Thai government) has requested retailers to pull all copies of GTA IV off the shelves.

| GTA IV site update - (GTASeries.com) |
Rockstar updated the GTA IV website with wallpapers and ringtones for your mobile phone.
Quote:
Ringtone downloads are available for Grand Theft Auto IV anthems like
“Vagabond” by The Greenskeepers, “Anybody Can Get It” by Uncle Murder,
“Dirty New Yorker” by Mobb Deep, “No Sex for Ben” by The Rapture,
and a bunch more.
At the same time over at Rockstar Social Club, they opened up Millionaires Club, which recognizes the wealthiest GTA IV players. Quote:
Millionaire status is determined by totaling all of the money you've ever earned in single–player–mode from completing missions, winning races, doing vigilante side–jobs, and fortuitously picking up ‘dropped’ money in the street. |

| GTAIV PC almost certain? - (GTASeries.com) |
Almost a week ago a cover of the Malaysian PC Gamer appeared online, which at first sight practically confirming a GTA IV PC release.
I never posted this, because it was entirely based on speculation.
A few days later the ESRB (accidentally?) listed Windows as a platform for GTA IV (see image below) and changed it quickly thereafter.
Though there still isn't any official word, a PC release is looking more and more likely.

| GTA IV PC in production? - (GTASeries.com) |
How do you get videogame producers to leak information about a supposedly non existing game?
I'm sure that's (about) what the guys over at Rockstarscammer have been thinking...
They emailed the supportdesk about a supposed audio problem in a leaked version of GTA IV.
It ended up in a lot of laughter and some interesting information.
Quote:
... We are unsure when the PC version of the game will be released as we are only technical support and do not receive information on the matter. I would suggest keeping an eye on www.rockstargames.com for any information. ...
This might be some interesting news, if the blog isn't a prank aswell...
