Sorry Rockstar, you are too late. And also, they say it will show a differant side of Liberty Cityy. Other than the rough and gritty crime side of Liberty City?

I loved GTA 4 (it has been the most cinematic GTA up to date with the best protagonist) and I DIG cinematic games. I'll be definately grabbing this as soon as it gets released.

Sure, it missed all the wacky features of GTA:SA but it was a totally different experience than the previous games. I loved it to death and there's no way I'd miss the expansion pack.

Story premise and screenshots look great so far.

I dunno, 48 hour trial and buy some points?

PS. After playing Saints Row 2, I am kinda over GTA now...SR2 was a lot more fun and arcade like. I stopped playing GTA after I would get 90% done with a mission, just to die or crash and have to do the Whole thing all over again, worthless....

I hope they worked really really hard on this DLC, just to Release it to one part of the GTA fanbase.

I've looked on about five different forums and about six different news sites and I still can't find the cost.
Hopefully this episode restores my faith in Grand Theft Auto 4.
I didn't like the game but I may buy the game again if the downloadable content is good and not too expensive.

New Achievements also ?

[shadyx]

i'll wait for the inevitable release of both episodes on 1 disc for both 360/ps3 in a years time or so.

gta4 was boring if u ask me. i can only hope that they brought back some of the old GTA:SA flavour in this expansion.

New Achievements also ?

I think it's just another 250
Not sure though. I'll check on other websites.
