GTA IV: RICK ROLL’d EFLC

Check out this video we recently came across by YouTube user YeardlyDiamond1 featuring the cast of Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City hamming it up to the preeminent internet bait-and-switch anthem, Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”.

As you may already know, Grand Theft Auto IV and the Rickrolling meme have some history together – which makes this impromptu Liberty City dance party all the more entertaining.

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.
