Official Grand Theft Auto Radio Playlists on Spotify and iTunes

Posted on April 11 2013, 1:13pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games, Music

As a service for all GTA fans on Spotify as well as for those who’d like to easily browse and find their favorite tracks from Grand Theft Auto radio history on iTunes, we’ve gone ahead and compiled the official set of playlists below, with tracks from all the music stations featured in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, San Andreas, Vice City and more.

Please note that this is all the music from these stations that's currently available on each service – some songs don’t yet exist on either Spotify or iTunes, but we’re hoping to be able to add the original songs within our control where possible soon. And for those nostalgic for some of the commercials from these games, be sure to check out The Advertising Council repository if you haven't before - a proper collection of radio adverts from the archives of LC, VC and SA's historical radio dials...

Download High Res Maps for Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories

Posted on April 10 2013, 1:35pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

A few months back, in honor of the releases of Vice City Anniversary Edition for mobile devices and San Andreas on PSN, we made available high resolution JPGs of the maps for all three titles in the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy.

Now with Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories both joining the original trilogy as PS2 Classics available to download on PSN we've got high quality images of the maps that came packaged with the original games for you to download and print as well.
 
With some noticeable infrastructure differences from the three year gaps between the 1998 and 2001 layouts of Liberty City, like the ongoing construction of the Callahan Bridge for one thing, as well as the 1984 and 1986 maps of Vice City sporting some different destinations and details, it's worth having a handy print out of the lay of the land to aid you as you explore 20th century LC and VC.

As an added bonus, here's some high-rezzies of the front cover for each of the game's original manuals we dug up - each a testament to the journalistic standards and integrity of their respective cities...

This Saturday in Brooklyn NYC: First Stage of the 2013 Red Hook Criterium Cycling Series

Posted on March 28 2013, 8:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Rockstar

As avid fans of cycling, we're proud to sponsor this year's Red Hook Criterium - a race series consisting of world class road racers, track specialists, bike messengers and urban athletes, which kicks off this Saturday at Red Hook’s Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

The Red Hook Crit, as it’s known, is a fixed gear bike race through the night streets of Red Hook, Brooklyn. Previously held twice a year, with Rockstar’s help the RHC is now expanding into a four-part championship series with races in select urban locations across the world. After the first round this Saturday, riders will again take to the BK streets for a new event at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this June. The series then moves to mainland Europe for the next stop in Barcelona in August before crowning its first ever World Champion in Milan in October.
 
Saturday night’s race kicks off at 7:30 PM with men's and women's 5K runs before the main event at 9:00 PM. For all of our fans here in the NYC area, we hope to see you there. For everyone else, you can follow the action with real-time leaderboards and updates with the free official Red Hook Crit iOS app, available now on the App Store. 
 
For a bit of background on the history of the race, check out the video below. Narrated by RHC organizer David Trimble, this clip sheds light on the history of the race and what's in store for this year's event - along with background on Brooklyn's historic Red Hook neighborhood and its efforts to rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
 
 
For more details on the race, visit www.redhookcrit.com or follow them on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Grand Theft Auto V Is Coming 9.17.2013

Posted on January 31 2013, 10:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Dear all,
 
Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
 
We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
 
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.
 
Yours,
The GTA Team
