First screens from GTA: Ballad of Gay Tony, some box art photo

Rockstar Games has unveiled the first four screenshots from its upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360 exclusive expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony.
 
From what I can tell, it still looks like Grand Theft Auto. In fact, to my eyes, it looks more like the retail Grand Theft Auto IV than The Lost and Damned, which had a grittier vibe due to a filter Rockstar applied to it. Not seeing that here -- there's some cars, there's some explosions, and someone's shooting some stuff. Pretty much par for Grand Theft Auto course, if you ask me.
 
That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, especially if you're a fan of the games. If for whatever reason you're not a big enough fan to have kept your copy of Grand Theft Auto IV, keep your eye on Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty. This retail disc contains both The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned, and doesn't require the original GTA IV disc.
 
Check out the box art for Episodes from Liberty City after the jump, and check back tomorrow for the premiere of The Ballad of Gay Tony trailer.

Do want. I <3 L&D and the Ballad looks to be pretty awesome. I expect explosions.

Nice. I'll probably get the boxed version to save HDD space. I think I'll enjoy L&D but I have to say I'm more excited about athe Ballad of Gay Tony than anything.

Really? I had the inverse happen. I started playing it again recently (for those few achievements I never got) and it felt more right than ever! Bring on the gayness! I can't wait!

I love the art, but let's be honest here- they're not really two whole complete games.

I'm still optimistic that one day the series will have branching storylines; nevertheless a new playable character here and there isn't too bad.
