Here.
I didn't read it yet. Just felt like posting it.

Nice, JJJ. Looks like they got about the same as IGN/Games Radar though.

Nice find, Himuro. Guess all the gaming sites are getting these previews today.

It's about time.

I read the GamesRadar one and since they were shown the same demo, I guess nothing new is coming from Gamespot or 1up?

There is bigger artwork on gamespot. That's the only difference I saw.

[Slim Trashman]

I really wasn't expecting online previews for about another month. Everything's pretty early with GTA IV. Perhaps the release won't get delayed this time.

Now that would be something. This was totally unexpected. Such awesome screens!

I thought that Roman was supposed to be your cousin, but the caption at Gamespot says "If you're planning to steal a car, make sure it doesn't belong to your brother".

Heh, typo.

EDIT: Screenshots are awesome, though.

In that artwork (Not so vector-ish anymore, btw) you can see what looks to be a clean-shaven Niko doing a drive-by in the passengers seat with a shotgun. I know it's just artwork, and says little about the actual gameplay, but maybe, just maybe...

EDIT 2: Still amazed by the high-def screenshots. In the one where Niko is holding an uzi with both hands, and you can see the muzzle flash, the detail is awesome. Fingers are wrapped around the trigger, you can see his finger nails and the knuckle wrinkles....

amazing. Also, Niko appears to have a scar on his left eyebrow.... there's a bit where the hair is missing.

EDIT 3: In one screenshot you can see a black guy wearing a pear of didiersach underwear. His pants are hanging off of his ass, which is why you can see it in the first place. But the texture on his belt is a bit shitty. There's also a go-go space monkey machine in the background by the pool table.

Wow, looks like all these 4 e-mags (Oh wait, more than 4!) got the green signal on the same moment. Though I haven't read though all of them, I guess there's nothing much of difference to be found between the previews.
