First Trailer of Rockstar’s L.A. Noire

Edge had a big article about LA Noire several months back. It’s sort of a detective/spy game that takes place in 1940s Los Angeles. Think LA Confidential.

If this is half as good as Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption (a.k.a. Grand Theft Horse), it will be a must purchase.  Maybe it’ll do what the Mafia games couldn’t.

Red Dead Redemption Trailers

I didn’t get a chance to try out the original on the Xbox, but this game is starting to intrigue me.  I’ve heard it is basically GTA set in the old west, but it looks like they have added extra gameplay and mission types.  I like the fact that it seems more story driven without seeming like missions strung together.

Developed by Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, The Lost and Damned features a new main character and plot that intersects with the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV; new missions that offer an entirely fresh way to explore Liberty City with new multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles; and a diverse soundtrack with additional music - all with the incredible production values that are the trademarks of Grand Theft Auto.

Now this is what I call downloadable content.  It looks like you'll play as a one of the Lost biker gang members.  Hopefully they'll have a little less whiny stuff this time.

Rockstar Games cheap on Steam

Need something to play this weekend? Need it on the cheap? If you're on board with this whole digital distribution through Steam thing, some classic and not-so-classic Rockstar Games titles are being sold at bargain basement prices. Ten bucks for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? Five for Manhunt? You could do a hell of a lot worse. The entire Rockstar Games Collection is just $29.99 in U.S. dollars, making corruption by video game violence a steal.

Microsoft Pays $50 Million for Exclusive GTA IV Content: Wow!!!

Microsoft has thrown down the gauntlet to Sony by giving 'RockStar' the creaters of GTA IV 50 million dollars for exclusive content.

Microsoft emptied its coffers to the tune of $50 million so that 'Rockstar' produces exclusive, downloadable content for the Xbox 360 version of the game. If that’s true, then the 360 version is certainly the one to go for. Sorry, Sony.

The first batch of downloadable content is scheduled for March 2008, followed by a later “fiscal ‘08″ launch for the second batch.

I guess when you're a baller like Microsoft, you can throw this kind of money around on a game.
