Rockstar in their continued support for Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC, have released update 1.0.4.0. However, this isn't a full fleged update but rather a maintenance update. This update is only really for bringing the game in-line with the new retail disc pressing (that means that new retail copies are now going to include all the patches so far), however, Rockstar Toronto did mention that this update does have updates to the resource management numbers which should improve performace for some.

Rockstar has just announced the second pack of content for Grand Theft Auto IV, titled "The Ballad of Gay Tony". This episode will focus on not Gay Tony, but rather Luis Lopez who was heavily speculated to be the protagonist due to the "Impossible Trinity" achievement. Here is an excerpt from the announcement.

The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime. As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka "Gay Tony"), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.

GTAIV: The Ballad of Gay Tony will set you back a mere $20 or 1600 MS Points. Don't have Xbox Live? No worries! Rockstar has also announced a retail version of both episode packs called Grand Theft Auto: The Episodes from Liberty City which will include GTAIV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony all in one package for $39.99 and does not require GTAIV to play.

The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Episodes from Liberty City are on track for a release sometime this fall.

Take-Two has just announced it's results for the first quarter of 2009. Below is the game listing for 2009 (Only Rockstar titles)

Title Platform
Beaterator TBA
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars DS
Grand Theft Auto IV Second Episode Xbox 360
Midnight Club: Los Angeles Downloadable
     Content - South Central Premium Upgrade		 Xbox 360, PS3
Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360, PS3

As you can see, not much is different from what we already knew, however, take a note at the platforms for Beaterator. It says TBA. Could this mean that Beaterator is coming to more platforms than just the PSP? Rockstar Leeds has said before that they wanted to an Xbox Live Arcade game, could this be it or perhaps is Beaterator also going to make an appearance on the Nintendo DS?....Or could it just be a mess up? We'll keep you posted if we hear anything. Next up is the second episode for Grand Theft Auto IV. The results say the game is coming in FY2009 which ends on October 31st. We're betting that the release will be very close to the FY2009 end date.
