The GameTrailers comparison for the two versions of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV Is now up. There seems to be some good and some bad differences between the two. If you notice on the PlayStation 3 version, the GetaLife building pops-in, then out, such as that glitch in the Steinway Beer Garden. Rockstar should fix that. You decide for yourself, however.

Rockstar Working "Around the Clock" on PlayStation 3 Grand Theft Auto IV Fix
According to a Take-Two Customer Support, Rockstar Games are working "around the clock" to fix the freezing issues some have experienced in Grand Theft Auto IV.
The rep said "A patch is being worked on around the clock to address the issues. It's bound to be. That's how they address this sort of thing. It is being worked on. We're looking into it. You will hear from us if a patch is released. A patch is usually the way it's been done."
The Rockstar rep also offered some help on how to possibly stop the freezing. One would be removing the installed game data then reinstalling it, that worked for me as I got no more freezing after that. It would do it quite frequently before that. There are others that aren't so much fun, but I recommend that one. We will update you when this patch is released.

The Blu-Ray release of Cloverfield will include full 1080p video as well as Dolby TrueHD audio. A new Blu-Ray only feature called "Special Investigation Mode" will be present as well. No details on that, however. The list of other features below.

Super Stardust HD Getting Trophies, More
Housemarque have just completed their upcoming Super Stardust HD expansion pack. The "Solo Pack" will lead into the "Team Pack", including "a split screen Versus Match and Co-Op, ship editor, a true 5.1 orchestral soundtrack, and trophies."
They even say that they are looking into more. "We have been experimenting with a game mode we call "Twin gun" mode (not disclosing specifics at the moment, maybe you can guess?) and how to make music generated levels, etc." Makes me think a bit of Everyday Shooter. You never know.

Grand Theft Auto IV Makes Comedy Central's The Daily Show
The latest episode of The Daily Show on Comedy Central features none other than Grand Theft Auto IV. Jon is one funny guy, thanking us for watching when we could be playing Grand Theft Auto IV. Oh yeah Jon? What if I was doing both? Exactly. Enjoy!
Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer Back Online
If you didn't know, Grand Theft Auto IV on the PlayStation 3 has been having some online issues. We are happy to say the game is back online and can now be played in multiplayer matches. What are you waiting for, get off onAXIS and go play on of the fourteen multiplayer modes. Yes, fourteen.
Although I got to say, now that I'm finally online I am a bit disappointed with the character creation. There is so little choice (roughly 4 choice to select for each piece of body wear and face). I'm not that far in, but do you unlock more for your online character as you progress through the game?

Great to see they are finally addressing this situation. Canada must be happy.

If you head over to the Japanese PlayStation Network, you'll find a new demo on the PlayStation Store. The demo is of Arc System Works' Battle Fantasia. It's a new fighter, so I'd recommend you give it a try.
