Apparently, Rockstar just confirmed that the ‘Ballad of Gay Tony‘, the second DLC for GTA 4, will launch on October 29th for the Xbox 360 only. It’ll cost you 1600 Microsoft points, or $20. I suggest you save your hard earned cash and either wait for a DLC for Modern Warfare 2 or put your money towards the next Splinter Cell.

Is Grand Theft Auto coming to the iPhone? There is no way to know for sure, but coming-on-iphone.com has a teaser video that indicates just that. Of course, this could just be a knock off GTA game and by adding a dash of anonymity they figured they could leverage the GTA brand equitity. Or some kids on summer break had nothing better to do with their time than get our blogosphere panties in a ball. Nonetheless, the video says it’s coming this summer, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
Of note: Reghardware said they reached out to Rockstar UK and they wouldn’t confirm or deny the game. And of course the URL registration info is set to private, but the domain was just registered on May 25th.

Though no pricing or availability has been announced, Rockstar has divulged that ‘GTA: ChinaTown Wars’ will be a downloadable game for the PSP Go. Promising new missions, ChinaTown Wars will be a technical downgrade for the PSP Go and I don’t think that the touch screen components from the DS will translate at all. After all, that was the best part of ChinaTown Wars. From scratch tickets to sifting through dumpsters for weapons and manually stealing cars, the game was truly designed for the DS. I don’t understand why we don’t see a San Andreas Stories on the PSP Go!
New York, NY – June 22, 2009 – Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is pleased to announce that one of the highest-rated handheld games of all time, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, will be making its way to the PSP (PlayStationPortable) handheld entertainment system. Developed by the award-winning studio Rockstar Leeds, in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be available at retail on UMD and digitally from the PlayStationNetwork in North America and Europe this fall.
“We’re proud to extend this truly unique handheld Grand Theft Auto experience to PSP and offer a downloadable version of Chinatown Wars for PSPgo,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Rockstar Leeds has shown incredible talent in creating games that raise the bar in terms of depth and innovation on portables, and with Chinatown Wars we have a rich, fast-paced, and incredibly addictive entry into the series.”

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars follows the story of Huang Lee, a young Triad who travels to Liberty City after the mysterious death of his father.
