"From the beginning, Midnight Club has been about street racing in a open-world," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "With our team at Rockstar San Diego we have developed a game that we feel once again pushes the boundaries and expectations of what a racing game can be."

Whether driving by the beach or beating the competition by cutting through a parking garage at 200 mph, Midnight Club: Los Angeles provides a seamless, breathtaking environment for everyone who loves to compete. With no load times, no tracks, and no rules, the game allows players to race who they want, when they want, and where they want in an unbelievable recreation of Los Angeles.

"People are going to be blown away when they see how true-to-life Los Angeles looks in this game," said Jay Panek, Midnight Club Producer Rockstar San Diego. "We've added some great twists and turns that let players experience the authentic vibe and feel of the city at blistering speeds that you simply couldn't get away with in real life."

A racing game is nothing without the great cars and Midnight Club: Los Angeles allows extensive customization of vehicles for both performance and appearance. Players can now fully personalize their officially licensed imports, tuners, classic muscle cars and motorcycles both inside and out with a dizzying array of licensed rims, spoilers, interior gauges, tires and more.

Also scheduled for release on September 9th, Midnight Club: LA Remix for the PSP® system will provide another incredible portable racing experience. Developed by Rockstar London, the game will take full advantage of the hardware to deliver the unrivaled sense of speed and style that the best-selling Midnight Club series is known for.

As game critics the world over get their hands on it, here's a sampling of the early word.

"Table Tennis has pushed the motion controls into a new phase of the console's lifespan. There's no way around it, from the first time you pick it up, to the time you've mastered it, Table Tennis feels like just that... it boldly straddles the line between pick-up-and-play and hardcore simulation in a way that's nothing short of refreshing...”
- GAMESRADAR.COM

"Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis is the real deal, tons of fun to play, and wonderfully simplistic... the motion controls and already-impressive spin/stroke mechanic make for some surprisingly deep vs. competition."
- IGN.COM

The game was developed as a horror experience, and to be an M rated title, aligning it with similar horror content created in other forms of media.

"Music has always been a hugely important part of everything we do here," said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "Two years ago, we launched a web-based version of Beaterator on our own website and people really embraced it. That inspired us to build and create something very interactive and unique. Having Timbaland involved in the game is a real honor and only adds to our excitement about the title."

"I've always been a huge fan of Rockstar and love playing their games," said Timbaland. "I'm thrilled to be partnering with them and making music for Beaterator. I cannot wait to get this in the hands of our fans!"

Beaterator for the PSP system is both a powerful music mixer with robust beatmaking features, as well as a highly addictive collection of original music and rhythm games and challenge modes - all available in the palm of your hand.

"Affordable and awesome action... a killer game... The combat is still as robust as ever -- with two attack buttons, grappling, and an abundance of weapons. You'll be bopping just like old times... It'd be a great title at twice the cost, but being such a bargain is like getting a big hug from Rockstar Games. The Warriors is a great game on any platform, and for anyone fancying a fight. Now, you can play it while you're on the subway, hanging with The Lizzies, or chilling in the Rogues' car waiting for Luther to get off the damn phone."
- GAMESPY.COM, EDITORS' CHOICE

"...from the tiniest beer bottle to the biggest multi-gang brawl, everything that made The Warriors an awesome beat-em-up has been faithfully recreated on the handheld's small screen... if you're looking for a deep, brutal, high-quality PSP brawler with lots of variety and short load times, then you're not going to find one that's better than this."
- GAMESRADAR.COM

"Impressive... The Warriors... actually improves access times while also enabling the secret 'Armies of the Night' side-scrolling mode from the beginning. Not a bad list of goodies for a title that was great fun to begin with. A more important factor to consider, though, is how strongly The Warriors translates to a handheld format. After all, it was THE premier beat 'em up of 2005 and one of the best overall action games that year... The enjoyable hand-to-hand combat, clever mini-games, and cool 1970s atmosphere hasn't been trimmed back at all, and at a mere twenty bucks there's plenty of content here for a scarce amount of funds."

All hail Rockstar as the company that brought back the magic again."

MAXIM - 5/5 (PERFECT SCORE)
"Rockstar's products, in addition to tweaking political and social norms, are also pretty goddamn good games. Bully is no exception... Your task: to intimidate the intimidators. Your tools: firecrackers, dodgeballs, and 'Kick Me' signs. Another big, bad open-world game... it's so good..."

GAMEDAILY.COM - 4.5/5
"...originality starved gaming masses will fall fast for the fresh and original vibe in Bully... it's too bad most video games aren't this amusing... Bully's a breath of fresh air in a stagnating game market... complete with cool art direction, a great soundtrack, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and a gameplay mechanic that's new, yet familiar...

1UP.com - 10/10 Perfect Score - "Genius"
"...there's a good chance Bully will still be enjoyable five or ten years from now. It might even achieve that most elusive of game descriptors: timeless... The best games - games like Bully... push headlong into new places and new ideas, leaving behind the ranks of unimaginative, spit-polished safe bets. Bully takes chances, and the gamble pays off big."

Gamespy.com - Editor's Choice - "One of The Year's Best"
"An elegantly-laid free-roaming title from one of the industry's best."

"As Bully progresses and Jimmy finds himself enmeshed in his struggle to survive, the game blossoms, and players will find themselves desperate to see what happens next... Ring the bell because Bully's ready to give you a lesson you can't afford to miss."

IGN.com - Editor's Choice - "One of the Best Plots of the Season"
"Bully is easily one of the funniest PlayStation 2 titles we've ever seen and is one of the few pieces of software out there than can legitimately be called a "comedy." ...a seriously poignant story with great dialogue and strong characters... a great, well-crafted action game... dozens and dozens of hours of fun... Rockstar has put together one of the best stories of the year, which works because of great characters and a biting sense of sarcastic humor that you won't find elsewhere."

As a mischievous schoolboy, you'll stand up to bullies, get picked on by teachers, play pranks, win or lose the girl, and ultimately learn to navigate the obstacles of the worst school around, Bullworth Academy - a corrupt and crumbling prep school with an uptight facade.

The story follows Jimmy Hopkins, a teenager who's been expelled from every school he's ever attended. Left to fend for himself after his mother abandons him at Bullworth to go on her fifth honeymoon, Jimmy has a whole year at Bullworth ahead of him, working his way up the social ladder of this demented institution of supposed learning, standing up for what he thinks is right and taking on the liars, cheats and snobs who are the most popular members of the student body and faculty. If Jimmy can survive the school year and outsmart his rivals, he could rule the school.

Ready yourself for a hilarious return to campus living with Bully, the outrageously funny debut title from Rockstar Vancouver, available exclusively for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system this October.

"A wry, endearing look at the school experience, done with Rockstar's typically satirical and rude sense of humor." - Game Informer

All told via fascinating archival and modern-day footage featuring the vehicular pride-and-joys themselves in all their weekend cruising glory, and through a series of heartfelt interviews with Majestics founders and members, their fans, as well as their critics in the LAPD.

"The movie is so good... the Majestics' passion is infectious... it's impossible not to be impressed." - Mass Appeal

"Sunday Driver is a superbly executed flick that thoroughly explains the history of the Majestics and the So-Cal lowrider culture as a whole." - XXL

This landmark documentary is finally now available on DVD, including the full original film as well as compelling bonus interviews and "under the hood" extra footage.

Sunday Driver is available for order online at the Rockstar Warehouse, and at stores nationwide where independent DVDs are sold.

"Even the littlest GTA brother kicks everyone else's teeth in. GTA games... give you a huge, living city and tell you, 'It's yours. Go tear it apart any way you want... Blow stuff up. Or not. Do whatever.' That would be enough for most games, but the GTA titles wrap a... gangster story around the mayhem - though you can also ignore the story if you feel like it - toss in some black-hearted, dead-on parody, and voila! You've got a modern masterpiece. Liberty City Stories is no exception."

"...interesting plot twists and characters. And it has some of the best dialogue of any game in recent memory. The quality of the voice acting, not to mention the direction of the cutscenes, is great stuff... Fans of GTAIII will appreciate this return to organized crime with an Italian flair..."
- IGN.COM

"The best value PS2 game this year. Seriously.
...a really big game with plenty to do... it is a full-fledged GTA experience, and it is only $20, which means it's an incredibly good value... at a time when the PS2 is absolutely starved for great new games."

Rockstar presents the all-new Summer Collection. Ready to bang out from June to September.

The Official Site Series echoes the refined subtlety of the new 2006 Rockstar Official Website complete with beveled logo imprint, in a variety of soothing colors.

The Tropical Cocktails series is already a favorite - freaking a wireframe 3D Rockstar logo soused on holiday off of ice-blended blue curacao, coconut rum and grenadine. Yow.

The Wild Animal Hides series speaks for itself. Highly detailed zebra, tiger, and leopard skin textures. Enough to make PETA just slightly uncomfortable.

And for he or she that prefers the simple and most practical option, we've got the Basic Pattern series - in a variety of colors cribbed straight from your childhood 64-count crayon box, including midnight blue, aquamarine, tangerine and more.

We've also got some pretty damn slick screensavers in the Tropical Cocktails (bust the spinning R* wireframe logo!) and Official Sites series, available to download for both PC and Mac.

The videogame that took Game of the Year (plus Best Action Game, Best Use of Sound, Best Story, Best Graphic Technology, and more) in IGN's Best Of the PSP 2005 Awards...

The game that ate up the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) System charts, and is still to-date the all-time bestselling title for that platform...

Now this heralded portable iteration of the Grand Theft Auto franchise is no longer solely the privilege of the handheld gaming set.

Today, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories arrives for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system - meaning PS2 owners across the nation can now also make that return trip to the unwelcoming streets of Liberty City, in the shoes of Toni Cipriani.

With all of the original storyline, gameplay, music and more that made the original handheld version a 2005 classic - optimized for PlayStation 2 with faster load times, increased draw distance and a more densely populated city...

And for only $19.99 MSRP.
Yow.

This is an easy decision for anyone who missed out on the PSP release, and prefers their Grand Theft Auto gaming on the big screen.

Well, now that set of first-hand players is no longer limited to Rockstar friends, family and the critical elite...
The Xbox 360 world-at-large has been abuzz with the pic-a-poc of rapid fire table tennis action. The public user impression response on every Xbox 360 message board in sight has been afire with deafeningly positive acclaim. And the private sector of the gaming press? Read on...

"...this Xbox 360-only title serves up some amazing visuals, the best of which are well spent on the highly detailed athletes. Sweat gradually builds up on their brows and shirts over the course of a match; facial contortions express elation, frustration and even bravado. The most special sequences happen when a particular point evolves into a lengthy, epic rally...transforming the moment into a surreal yet satisfying rave of forehand smashes and topspin returns. It's at this moment when you realize how far games have come... you have to appreciate the Moore's Law-esque beauty of Rockstar's addictive treat."
- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"In surprisingly stellar fashion, Table Tennis' electric back-and-forth surpasses the tension of most fighting games and boasts some of the best Xbox 360 graphics ever. GAME OF THE MONTH."
- STUFF

"Table Tennis boasts a fantastic combination of sharp graphics and audio, so much so that it's easy to forget this is a videogame... Sound is spectacular, especially the crisp pop as the ball flies off rackets or bounces on the table... You truly feel the satisfaction of winning that hard-earned point as well as angst after your shot sails wide left... [Rockstar's] consistent ability to create vibrant, engrossing games remains intact."
- USA TODAY

"... beautifully tuned gameplay and controls that capture the simple and pure joy of willfully crushing the poor sap on the other side of the table with tricksy spins and King Kong slams... a 'perfect storm' of gameplay ingredients, meshing together into a compulsively playable multiplayer battle of wits and reflexes."
- OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE

"... Table Tennis kicks ass. Executing killer spins, tricky drop shots and monster rallies makes Table Tennis a cult-worthy game that breeds unhealthy competition. It starts innocently with a few friends..., but as the game reveals its deeper strategy, you find yourself practicing whenever possible, and before you know it, you've dropped out of college with an accidental major in backhand topspin. Underestimate Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis at your own risk - this isn't the reason you bought an Xbox 360, but it might be one of the reasons you keep it."
- GAMESRADAR

"... Rockstar San Diego has managed to recreate their favorite office game in all of its professionally authentic glory... a much better buy than quite a few of the full-priced titles for 360 that claim to do more and deliver a lot less... There is no denying that Table Tennis is one of the best looking titles in the young life of the Xbox 360."
- GAMESPY

Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis is now available for Xbox 360.

Nope. Not at all. With the ferocity and intensity of a fighting game, yet the easy pick-up-and-play but subtly deep mechanics of tennis, resulting in a pure, addictive one-on-one competitive experience - Table Tennis is an incredibly fun time, and one that has seen many a blistery thumb and battered ego around the Rockstar Games offices all this spring.

The game on the 360 looks beautiful, without a doubt, as exemplified by the pre-release screenshots and videos. The character detail, expression, and naturalistic movement, the luster of the polished hardwood floors and other arenas, the gorgeous slow-motion action shots - all truly a showcase of what the next generation of videogames has to offer.

But beauty is only skin deep, and you really can't fully 100% appreciate the fun of Table Tennis - until you've gotten your hands on it.

Within a few weeks of the announcement, previews from gaming's top journalists began to hit, with reactions calling the title "an exercise in ultimate zen focus" (GamesRadar) and even "an early shout for Game of the Year 2006" (GamesMaster UK) - and folks began to realize... well, maybe this ain't no joke?

Then we took the show on the road with extensive hands-on tours, and also invited myriad friends and family to our hideaway loft in lower Manhattan to participate in an ongoing series of private tournaments.

The response of the videogame-enthusiast everyman? Akin to the videogame journalistic elite. "The play is f***ing vehement, and it looks mean like something you haven't seen", "The graphics are crazy, I can actually see the characters sweating", "I will totally buy a 360 for this" were among many such recorded comments...

Now today is the day that Xbox 360 owners around the nation have the opportunity to see, engage and experience the game for themselves.

"Our collaboration with Rockstar Leeds has been a tremendous experience," said Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North.
