Episodes from Liberty City PS3/PC delayed

Episodes from Liberty City PS3 and PC versions have been delayed from the original March 30th release date until April 13th in North America and April 16th in Europe. Sony requested that Rockstar edit some of the in-game radio, TV and internet content in the European PS3 release.

Due to a last minute game submission request from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe to edit some of the in-game Liberty City radio station, television, and internet content – we are forced to delay the worldwide release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for both PlayStation 3 and PC for an extra two weeks.

GCAP 2009 What I hate

The Game Connect Asia Pacific conference was finalized with a discussion entitled “What I hate about video games: A critic’s perspective”.

Jason Hill had some harsh words to say about Rockstar Games.

I hate Rockstar for pretending that they are pushing the medium forward. I hate them for courting controversy and hardly ever having the balls to answer the phone when inevitably the shit hits the fan. Do you really want to make art or just money? Defend your art and your decisions.
