GTA IV PS3 trophies

The v1.3 update for GTA IV PS3 has been released to support the trophy system, similar to the XBOX 360 achievement system. When you load a save created with a previous version, you will be informed that the trophies are not retroactive, in other words, you have to start a new game to earn trophies.

The full list of trophies/achievements can be viewed on the achievement section of Rockstar’s site.

San Andreas arrives on Xbox Live next week

Microsoft have announced that GTA: San Andreas will be available to purchase on Xbox Live next week for 1200 Points. The disc version of the game is already compatible with Xbox 360 systems but the addition to the Xbox Originals lineup on Xbox Live marks the first time that a Grand Theft Auto title has been distributed digitally on a console.

Americans should mark their calendars for Monday but gamers elsewhere may face a longer wait as Microsoft is yet to confirm plans outside of North America. The game will cost $14.99 in real money.

Lazlow: GTA IV DLC is “more missions and characters”

Grand Theft Auto’s most famous DJ has begun talking about the series again, this time giving a little detail on what fans can expect from the forthcoming Xbox 360 exclusive downloadable content.

While appearing on the US-based “Opie and Anthony Show”, Lazlow Jones said that the DLC is “more missions and a bunch of other content”. He expands his revelation by claiming that the release will also see the addition of new characters to the Liberty City world.

Xbox Live members will be able to get their hands on the content some time in the next few months, although a precise release date has yet to be pinned down by either Rockstar or Microsoft.

Citizens of GTA – video parodies

IGN/Black20 have released 6 more Citizens of GTA videos since I last posted about them. They aren’t as good as the first 3 and some seem to be more recreations than parodies but they are still entertaining. The titles are Emergency, Gas Station, Pigeons, Batter Up, Drive-By and Ejection.  Warning: Contains senseless violence against poor innocent peds.

FTC gives EA permission to acquire Take Two

The Federal Trade Commission has cleared EA’s proposed acquisition of Take-Two following a lengthy investigation by its Bureau of Competition.

The non-public investigation into EA’s hostile takeover bid found that the potential merger wouldn’t substantially lessen competition in the games market, removing one of the remaining hurdles blocking a deal.

“Upon further review of this matter, it now appears that no additional action by the Commission is warranted at this time. Accordingly, the investigation has been closed,” reads a letter sent to both publishers.
