Starting Monday through the end of the year, people who bust a funky move on over to Adult Swim’s site will be able to download a free mix tape, courtesy of Rockstar’s Beaterator. The tracks were hand-selected by both Rockstar and Adult Swim, and two of them — Cee-Lo’s “Hello Miss (Armani XXXChange remix)” and Good Time Guys’ “Is That You God? (Dabrye remix)” — will even be compatible with the PSP game.
Hit the break for the list of all 17 tracks you’ll be able to score from December 7 until January 1, 2010.

Before you put on some sweats, make a little popcorn and sit down for your sitcoms tonight, you may want to gear up for some The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer. Rockstar Games has announced it’ll be holding a multiplayer session tonight from 5pm – 8pm ET, allowing prospective Liberty City hoodlums to hang out with some developers in the expansion’s new multiplayer modes for a bit of two-on-two action.
If you want to get involved, pack a parachute and send a request to these Gamertags:
- GwRockstar3
- GwRockstar4
- GwRockstar5
- GwRockstar6
And if you fancy yourself a bit of a voyeur or can’t get to your Xbox, you can still watch the action from the perspective of one of Rockstar’s employees at the Social Club event page here.

Honestly, we blame the rest of the video game industry for our susceptibility to Rockstar trailers. If everybody were putting together ads that were half as stylish and cool as this new Red Dead Redemption trailer, we’d likely be immune at this point. As it stands, this introduction to lead character John Marston leaves us with the gnawing feeling that our lives will be utterly incomplete without its shootouts and horseback chases.
Luckily, the trailer makes our longing finite with the new official release date of April 27 or, as you’ll probably come to think of it after watching the clip, “not nearly soon enough.”

Rockstar has unleashed some brand new Grand Theft Auto IV T-shirts, giving fans of The Ballad of Gay Tony a reason to hit the floor show off their best moves. Available for $20 each, the shirts depict the logos of two of the DLC’s nightclubs, Hercules and Bahama Mamas. If you’ve been looking to make a super hip fashion statement … well, you probably shouldn’t be buying video game T-shirts. If, however, you’re looking for some inoffensive gaming apparel — which can be hard to find — go ahead and take a look.

According to a post on GTA4.net, a new update for the Games for Windows version of Grand Theft Auto IV has added Achievements from the Xbox DLC, The Lost and Damned. If the details of the update are accurate — and users on the GFW forums indicate they are — it looks like the DLC’s long touted Xbox 360 exclusivity may be drawing to a close. Of course, as Games for Windows is also a Microsoft platform, it doesn’t necessarily mean that PS3 owners will be joining in anytime soon.
We’ve contacted Microsoft for clarification on the update and will update this post when we receive new information.

Time lapse videos were all the rage back in — actually, we don’t think they were ever rage caliber stuff, but in the case of this GTA IV video that shows 15 days go by Liberty City, it’s at least reached “oh, that’s neat!” territory. The video comes courtesy of DigitalFoundry (you can watch it over at Eurogamer) and reminds us just how much life there is in the virtual sand box, as cars drive along to their respective destinations, pedestrians shuffle about doing their own thing and, in the case of that one lady around the 32-second mark, loaf around the riverside all day and night. We just hope she’s not doing what we think she’s doing. It’d be such an unbecoming thing of the purest city in all of gaming, amirite?

With the release of this week’s second Grand Theft Auto IV expansion The Ballad of Gay Tony, the game’s developer has decided to update the online multiplayer statistics tracking in order to reflect the new multiplayer game types. The addition of “BASE Jump” to the mulitplayer as well as “new, tighter Deathmatch arenas” helped spur the leaderboard overhaul, according to the developer blog. The various new additions being made due to the DLC will even get their own section on the Rockstar Social Club, presumably for the four of you tracking your new GTAIV DLC stats after Modern Warfare 2 releases in a couple weeks.

The second and final “Episode from Liberty City,” The Ballad of Gay Tony, has arrived. As the tale of Liberty City comes to a close, does The Ballad of Gay Tony present an exciting final act or an anti-climactic letdown? We’ll let the critics at large weigh in on this one:
- Game Informer (93/100): “While I preferred the tight-knit story of brotherhood and betrayal in The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony delivers more explosive weapons, death-defying missions, and off-the-wall characters. Don’t miss your chance to close out the GTA IV experience in style.”
- IGN (92/100): “The Ballad of Gay Tony is the perfect way to close out the GTA IV saga. Finally, we know what happened to the diamonds stolen in the main story a year-and-a-half ago. Though Luis Lopez doesn’t have much of a story at all (this is the ballad of his boss, after all), the supporting cast is phenomenal. There are a lot of hilarious moments and ludicrous missions that will please GTA fans. Sure, a few of the missions fall flat compared to the wild nature of others, but all-in-all this is a fine package and worth 20 bucks. “
- 1UP (A-): “This has been one hell of a ride. I’m going to miss seeing something new in Liberty City, as I’ve probably been to every available nook and cranny. I suppose I could still go hunting for those damn pigeons, but with so many other games coming out in the coming months, I don’t know where I’ll find the time… at least until Rockstar gives me a ticket to their next world of crime, violence, and vice.”
- Eurogamer (80/100): “Perhaps Tony Prince does nothing to drag the series forward — somewhat fittingly for a man with his head stuck in the eighties — but the episode Rockstar has named in his honour is a colourful and pleasingly unpredictable adventure that gets better throughout and ends on a high.”

Rather than offer interesting social commentary or moody atmospheric tone, the just-released Ballad of Gay Tony teaser instead teaches us that Luis Lopez is not a joking around kinda guy. He takes shots, tosses dudes off buildings – he even goes to the driving range!
In case it weren’t already glaringly obvious to you, the second Grand Theft Auto IV expansion will be taking itself quite a bit less seriously than the first digital release. Thankfully, the wait is nearly over and we can find out for ourselves tomorrow just how much Rockstar Games has twisted its latest opus.

Grand Theft Auto has always been heavy on satire, making exaggerated observations about the world for the sake of a few cheap yuks. It’s readily apparent on the in-game radio programs, which poke fun at both extremes of political talk radio. The in-game TV programming does much the same (if you haven’t, we suggest you make time to watch “Republican Space Rangers“). It looks like The Ballad of Gay Tony will continue the tradition with “Princess Robot Bubblegum,” an anime parody to be featured on the in-game CNT channel. The show will serve as part of the new TV lineup in the upcoming expansion.
In Rockstar’s own words, “Princess Robot Bubblegum” features the hallmarks of more than a few animes: “Incomprehensible narrative, wretched dialogue and creepy, misogynistic sexuality.” See it all in the trailer above.
