After a huge amount of press and more hype in computer circles than GTA4, Metal Gear Solid 4 has been released almost everywhere. While the world didn’t end and life goes on there are still reviews and news stories to look forward to.

Grand Theft Auto has always been the best game series for custom soundtracks and while PC users cannot use their MP3s in the game there is still the option to use another device to play music while playing on your console to add your own soundtrack to the newest game. Be it in GTA4 or in a previous GTA title what do you consider the ultimate tracks for driving around the city murdering and breaking all the laws?

Here are a few of this journalists favorites organised by whats going on in the game at the time:

No sooner has the great Grand Theft Auto 4 piracy scandal
past does another big issue come around for Rockstars
big title. UK supermarket retailer Asda has reportedly
broken the release date for the game. This has been
proven via a photograph of a purchase receipt on a
Playstation forum.

No matter how big something is it can always be leaked onto the net.
It happened for Star Wars Episode 3 and now its happened with the PAL
and then NTSC versions of Grand Theft Auto 4.

With the decline in PC gaming players and the rise in console only titles the questions comes up, will PC gaming suffer due to the release of the console only (for now) multiplayer GTA4?

PSM Spain have listed the multi player modes in Grant Theft Auto 4. There are no less than 15 of them with a full 14 revealed in the magazine article. The below is a conversion from Spanish to English on gtaforums.com by forum member “nevermikel” so credit where credit is due.

In a press release sent out late Friday Valve has announced that a ton of high profile games from Rockstar are now available on the Steam download system. As a promotion all the games are discounted 10% during launch week so this is the time to brush up on your GTA skills before GTA4 is released. There is no word however on what upcoming Rockstar titles will be added to the system but we can only hope that a PC version of GTA4 will be made and added. All we can say is we hope you are not on a download limit!
