We thought he was a little bit quiet during the GTA IV launch days. We thought he was dead! But it turns out that he has been too busy playing Grand Theft Auto IV. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I did see him online playing Cops N' Crooks. He was the crook. I kid, but it is funny though:
I returned home to a message stuck on my front door today, saying I had a package that was to be delivered to me, however seeing as I wasn't home it was sent to the local depot and could be picked up between 4 and 6 pm. Had no idea what it could have been, I don't usually receive packages, so I rushed down to the depot to pick it up. To my surprise, it was Hidden Package #5, courtesy of Rockstar.
I was amazed to see it sent all the way to be, nearly half way around the world. Took awhile to get to me according to the papers I signed, 25th April it was sent, thats mostly due to the distance and the fact Australia's transit for packages is slower than any other countries.
I don't know how many other fansites yet have the 5th Hidden Package, except GTAGaming. Here's what the fine guys at Rockstar sent me:
- A T-shirt of the Liberty City Police Department
- A very realistic replica of a grenade (it's heavy and made out of similar texture)
- plus 10 stickers related to GTA IV:
- Grand Theft Auto IV logo
- LC Police Department
- Swingers
- Burger Shot
- TW@ Internet Cafe
- Pißwasser
- Niko standing putting on a glove
- Lola sucking on a lollipop
- Man on a mobile holding a gun
- Man with Sniper rifle
Thanks Rockstar for the terrific swag of goodies!
It seems that the very popular X-Play television show has just aired their review of GTAIV. While X-Play is known for their tough rating system, a five-point rating scale, it still came out with a perfect 5/5 and with no negative feedback. As Adam says in the review "You need to play GTAIV", so go out and pickup a copy or even two. Because I know you won't regret it.

Currently, people with the PlayStation 3 copy of Grand Theft Auto IV are experiencing that they are unable to start or join a multiplayer game. IGN contacted Rockstar for comment and they replied that they are looking into it. As far as I can tell, It's not a problem with the game as I was able to join a multiplayer game on my PS3 copy this morning. Perhaps it's time I finally open my 360 copy to play some multiplayer. We'll keep you posted.

GameSpot has just released what they call a fifth official trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV. This comes as a surprise because when the fourth trailer was released, Rockstar said that it would be the last trailer. Currently, only GameSpot has the trailer, no other news source. The trailer features old and new clips. Some of which come from older trailers. If you would like to view the trailer, we have embedded it below.
Rockstar has just released a new theme for Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360. The theme features artwork of Niko under the Live blade, Young Lady under the games blade, Lola under the media blade, and finally Faustin under the settings blade. The theme is only 100 MS points.
IGN has just posted a video that compares both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Grand Theft Auto IV. They mention that the Xbox 360 version does have more vibrant colors and that the Playstation 3 version has slightly better load times. They also mention that the Playstation 3 version has SIXAXIS support. If you would like to view the video, it's below.
