GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony Announced

Xbox 360, PS3, PC

We all know Rockstar loves to be controversial, but will this episode make it to our golden soil?

Rockstar Games is proud to announce the fall (Spring for AUS) release of both the second episode of GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony - exclusively for download on Xbox LIVE, and GTA: Episodes from Liberty City which will include both episode one TLAD and episode two TBOGT together on a single disc exclusively for Xbox 360 once again.

GTA IV's second downloadable episode, The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime. As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka "Gay Tony"), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.

GTA: Episodes from Liberty City delivers two games on one disc - the all-new episode TBAGT and the first episode TLAD for Xbox 360 for $39.99US (presumably $60AUD) and will require a copy of the original GTA IV to play.

The Ballad of Gay Tony will release on Xbox LIVE this fall (Spring for AUS) for $19.99US (presumably $34.95 AUD) or 1600 MS points and once again requires a copy of the original GTA IV to play.

We wonder why they chose the word Of instead of the word At. The Ballad at Gay Tony's may have been a better choice of acronyms - TBAG-T!
