'Grand Theft Auto' is about to get burlier and gayer

This is the new trailer for The Ballad of Gay Tony, the latest episode for Grand Theft Auto IV. As you can see by the crazy new weapons highlighted by a sweet-ass attack helicopter, Liberty City has gotten just a tad bit more violent these days.

Check out Rockstar Games for more videos, including an introduction to your new boss—a gangster by the name of Tony Prince who prefers the company of other men. But who doesn’t?

The Ballad of Gay Tony releases October 29 as downloadable content for XBox 360. [Rockstar Games]

 
 

GTA IV's Meth Recipe Could Lead to Death by Explosion

There’s a lot of things in Grand Theft Auto that you ought not to do in real life. Actually, you shouldn’t do anything from that game in real life, but now you can chalk up “cook crystal meth” to that laundry list.

If you didn’t know or really care, the UK is going through a kerfuffle over who gets control of video games ratings. The real news is that the prior ratings board discovered a recipe to synthesize crystal meth in Grand Theft Auto IV. After some damned good fact checking, the board found the recipe inaccurate and decided to let it remain.

I don’t know if that’s hardly any more responsible than putting in an actual meth recipe. It’s high-risk as it is to singe your ass hairs by cooking this shit up, one wrong amount and KABLAMMO! Giving out totally erroneous tips is well enough to guarantee a good fragging. All I know is I think I tasted egg and cinnamon.
