The Daily Hotness: Hello Gay Tony photo

The next Grand Theft Auto IV chapter was announced and it's called the Ballad of Gay Tony. It was also announced that the two DLC episodes will be hitting retail as a stand alone game which means that I can get the two games at a discount when hundreds of used copies flood GameStop three months after it's released.

Jim took a look at the gaming press, Bacalao! episode two was released, Holmes reviewed PiCTOBiTS, Big Boss and Raiden were shown in the Konami teaser site and plenty more happened on 05/26/09.

I'm actually looking forward to Ballad of Gay Tony, we literally don't know anything about it yet, but I'm pretty gay for things like that so ya.

So it looks like the "Impossible Trinity" achievement in the museum mission makes sense now - we can play all 3 characters involved in the mission from different perspectives.

Good idea, but I feel that particular mission was nothing special - standard "go to location-kill-escape" - especially since they are giving it this much gravitas by stretching it over 2 DLC packs.

I would have preferred a much more epic mission and the bank job (4 leaf clover) was really the only one.

Awesome! This means that ala the Orange Box, I don't have to waste my money downloading these these immediately. Glad I didn't get all frizzy knickered about the Half Life 2 episodes, cos episode 2 was so dull I never finished it.

Don't you mean half of the people who play GTA are homophilic dickwods? I mean why would you buy a game that has a character with "gay" in his name?

Well yeah, I thought it went without saying that if half were homophobic the other half were homophilic. Things have to halves you know.
