While all of us are dying to see the new Grand Theft Auto IV trailer which is slated for a June 28 release, we'd like to show you a little video we dug up in GameTrailers. It's the history of GTA and we must say, it's pulled off nicely. See what we mean by watching this:



Nice touch with the contrast using classical music to drape this bad boy, eh? Those of you who missed some details on this famous, or should we say infamous, series will appreciate what the video has to show.

Speaking of history, it's interesting to know that the developers whom we know and love as Rockstar North today were once known as DMA Design. Incidentally, GTA wasn't always called that name. Prior to its release on the first PlayStation, it was called Race N Chase. Good thing they scrapped that one.

Because there are no decent games on my PS3 to play, I only have time to search the internet for any bit of distraction.

Funny, since my PS3 is currently on eBay as I type this. I usually get every console on launch, but its been months now and theres STILL no good ps3 games, so Ive sent it out to ebay heaven. Im keeping my Wii and 360 since those two have lots of great games, especially the 360. MGS and FFX just isnt worth the wait for me anymore, good riddance...

i only wish they would make gta san andreas stories or whatever they would like to call it, as long as it was san andreas on psp.

 » Why is this here?

They need to stop posting information and other crap associated with other systems on this area. I'm tired of reading about games not coming out for the PSP on the PSP section of this news site.

 » Yeah right

"Prior to its release on the first PlayStation, it was called Race N Chase. Good thing they scrapped that one."

It was released on PC first and the PS1 months later. so that line SHOULD read "prior to the PC release" because

1) it was first

and

2) it was superior to the PS1 version

and

3) erm.. there is no 3, wanna lick the sweat off my hairy bag anyway?

Cheers
