Originally, Grand Theft Auto IV (for the Xbox 360 and PS 3) had a release date of October 2007. Rockstar slid through that deadline and has recently announced a new release date slated for April 29, 2008.

The feature at IGN revealed that “Grand Theft Auto IV will ship for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously, with planned Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable episodes somewhere down the line. A release date for those episodes, however, has yet to be revealed.”

And I can’t wait for this great game. Just check out the graphics below. Yet another reason for me to get an Xbox 360. Oh well, time to save that lunch money.
