After missing its original June date, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD is finally coming out on the App Store for the iPad on the 9th of September. The game, which includes all the features of the iPhone version of the game, also includes remastered graphics in HD along with other small effects, will cost just $9.99 (£5.99/€7.99) upon release.

Over at EuroGamer they have a Retrospective article up for the original Grand Theft Auto, looking back at their first impressions of the game and how it stands up today compared to newer Grand Theft Auto games. It is a nice little read and worth checking out, even if it's to just remind yourself of your reactions to the original game that started this series.

As mentioned in the article, Grand Theft Auto is FREE to download from Rockstar's Classics website along with GTA2, so for those of you who have not played these titles, give them a try and see how things were different back in the day!

With the shortage of GTA news, we might as well explain the positives about Rockstar Games' latest efforts away from their classic franchise, right? Rockstar Games has been constantly working on other titles, and you know they must be working on a new GTA. But for now, let's talk about the DLC.

Legends and Killers is an addition to Rockstar's latest hit, Red Dead Redemption. The add-on includes a total of nine new multiplayer areas, eight classic characters from Red Dead Revolver, all accessible right away, new weapons and of course, new achievements and trophies.

Legends and Killers is available now on Xbox Live for 800 MS Points, and the PlayStation Network Store for $10... I've been playing it all morning, and it's tons of fun... if you're looking to enhance your Red Dead experience, this is just what you need.

Catch me online, I'll be playing till 5 P.M. EST. My PSNID is CaseyTheVA. Happy gaming!

As Rockstar Games continues to focus on other titles, Grand Theft Auto news remains very scarce.

Parent company Take-Two Interactive has made no secret that it is looking to reduce its dependency on the GTA series for income - and its plans appear to be paying off. Rockstar Games has seen huge success with Red Dead Redemption, while sister label 2K Games is getting ready to launch Mafia II, its next big release following Bioshock 2.

Edinburgh-based Rockstar North are known to be hard at work on the PS3 exclusive Agent, while a new Max Payne title and the mysterious L.A. Noire are also far into their development cycles.

Notably however, the iPad version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars promised for release in June has still not made an appearance. Technical issues or problems with Apple's notoriously difficult certification process may be delaying the release of what many believed would be a straightforward port.

Along with the release of his stunt montages, BenBuja tends to release a reel of bloopers recorded during the making of his stunt videos. This time around was no exception, and BenBuja has already released the ninth installment of his "Bloopers, Glitches & Silly Stuff" series. Enjoy the quirks of GTA IV and EFLC:


While we're at it, you might also enjoy BenBuja's Red Dead Redemption blooper reel!

With Rockstar being busy with Red Dead Redemption (New DLC Pack out next week folks!), there has been little news regarding Grand Theft Auto lately but there are at least fans out there still making videos in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City, such as BenBuja, who is back with another one of his stunt videos!

Voting is now open for the 28th Annual Golden Joystick Awards and as expected Grand Theft Auto and other Rockstar related games have made it into the voting list! Voting will be up for the next few weeks so you will have plenty of time to get your say in before voting closes and the winners are picked.

This year Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars appears in both the Downloadable Game of The Year and the Portable Game of The Year categories. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City makes an appearance in the Soundtrack of The Year category and Rockstar North shows up as a contender for the UK Developer of The Year.

Of course Rockstars latest game Red Dead Redemption has managed to get into the shortlist to, appearing in the Action Game of The Year and the Ultimate Game of The Year categories.

So get Voting people!

Continuing on with the fan made GTA IV videos here we have one done by one of our forum members, Big Fella, who has taken a lot of influence from the official music video for Audioslave's "Show Me How To Live" by recreating in Grand Theft Auto IV based around the events of "The Snow Storm".
