GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony coming Oct 29th

[Queasy]

Kotaku The Ballad of Gay Tony, the episode where you'll get to revel in the "high-end night life" as Luis Lopez to break up the monotony of killing prostitutes, will debut on Xbox Live on Oct 29th for 1600 MS Points ($20).

The game will also be bundled at retail with The Lost and Damned in a package called Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and priced at $39.99 (or 3200 MS Points). The best part about the disk version, you won't need the original GTA IV to play it.

Nice :thumbsup:

Hopefully TBGT is as worthwhile as TLAD.

I'd still recommend spending the $20-30 and getting Saints Row 2 over a GTAIV expansion pack.

Dig the retail release, though.

Did they fix the awful screen tearing, terrible frame rate, retarded driving physics and annoying camera in Saints Row 2? I played the first one after hearing all the praise and hated every minute of it. I'd like to give 2 a shot, but I'd rather not waste the $30 to find it shares the same problems.

Edit: Also, I'm enjoying Lost and Damned quite a bit. Definitely worth the 1600 points, especially if you can find a cheap points card.

It's been a long time since I played the first SR, but I am playing SR2 now and it seems relatively the same to me, just more content. I've had it straight up freeze on me twice within the first couple hours of play. I think both times I was in the middle of a drive-by mission.

I don't want to click the link because kotaku freezes my browser, but is there any mention of a silenced pistol?

Yes.

Nothing says "I've made it in this town" a like a N.O.O.S.E armored personnel carrier, equipped with a 360-degree rotatable turret and explosive ordinance.

But I wouldn't expect to be able to roll over cars and make them explode.

I'm getting the retail package for $30 off amazon (after discounts) because I haven't bought TLAD yet. I've been itching to buy it, but I'll just wait another month.
