digg_url=”http://digg.com/xbox/Did_Gamefly_Employees_Get_Early_Dips_Into_GTA_IV”
Seems pirates, hackers and critics weren’t the only ones to get their greasy paws on Grand Theft Auto IV a little early.
This came to us from a rather pissed-off listener, MinusFahrenheit, today. He, like the rest of us, waited with fingers tap-tap-tapping for GTA IV’s release. However, being like many of us (ie: […]

Hawkes Gets GTA IV, You Get Swag!

When we asked if anyone wanted to donate to the “Buy Hawkes the Greatest Game Evar” fund, we didn’t figure we’d get so many responses!
Not only did you make Hawkes cry, but you actually made Edie tear up a bit. Your generosity is overwhelming!
Not only were we able, within a few short hours, to […]

Today in Gaming News: April 30, 2008

What? There’s something else going on in the gaming industry — I mean other than Grand Theft Auto IV?
Why yes, indeed there is. Granted, if you check all your regular news sites, you’ll notice anything not GTA-related is pretty lightweight by industry standards. No PR department in its right mind would release any big news […]

GTA: Your Thoughts?

It’s been out for nearly 24 hours, and I’m not sure anyone who owns a next-gen console (except Hawkes, for the moment) is playing anything but Grand Theft Auto IV.
Now that many of us have spent some quality time with the game, I’m curious to know your thoughts.
We’ve started a thread on the forums with […]

Hawkes Needs GTA IV

I’m not usually for shameless whoring for cash.
Okay, yeah. I am.
But I know for a fact that Hawkes is not one to ask for charity. He’s a big, big man with a lot of big, big pride. He’s also a father, husband and corporate drone who’s not paid enough for all the work he does.
As […]

Episode 14 Delayed Until Monday Night (hopefully)

Scene opens on a woman at a computer. She’s freshly showered and her hair is wet. She’s sunburnt and exhausted from working outside in a heat wave, but she’s home now, whistling and happily tapping away at the keyboard.
EDIE: Everything’s going perfect. Show notes are written. MP3 are exported and mixed properly.
PERSON ON ICHAT (types): […]

GTA IV for PS3 or Xbox? Hmmm…

If you’ haven’t already made your decsison and reserved your copy, you may want to check out Kotaku’s head-to-head comparison of GTA for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
The analysis is exacting, since even they admit that the difference are almost microscopic. But for you performance and graphics wonks it’s really helpful.
It also may make you […]
