Just as a pretext, this is a future review. That means that it’ll be relevant to PC in approximately a month. Yes, I have a time machine. And no, you can’t use it. So there.

Inevitably Saints Row 2 is going to be compared to GTA IV. So just to get that out of the way first; yes, Saints Row 2 doesn’t live up to Rockstar’s looming behemoth of a title. However, the great thing is it doesn’t need to. It takes such a depature from the story driven gritty crime approach and instead comes at it sideways. It seems as though everything was constantly scrutinised with the question ‘is this fun?’ in mind, and if it wasn’t, it was dropped. Luckily, it definitely helped.

After loads of speculation by yours truly the game known as Grand Theft Auto IV has been confirmed and dated for a PC release.

We can expect to see GTA IV land on the PC on the 18th November in the US and the 21st November in Europe. I am excited, November will be a great month for PC games, Mirror’s Edge, Left 4 Dead and now GTA IV.

Hell. Yes.

Thanks to reader James it has emerged that Swiss retailer hitparade is listing a PC version of GTA IV as being released in October 2008. As previously reported citydisc is listing a PC version of GTA IV as being released on the 31st October of this year.

Following up from yesterdays news regarding a German retailer listing GTA IV for the PC the game listing on CityDisc has been changed.

The release date is now for 30th October and this has appeared in German for what I assume is the product description.

Das Spiel GTA 4 für PC ist vom Publisher Take 2 noch nicht bestätigt.

Releasedatum noch offen!!

Which translated on Babel Fish comes out with this.

The play GTA 4 for PC is not yet confirmed of the Publisher Take 2. Release date still openly!!

Which when translated again into proper English by yours truly comes out with something like this.

The release date for GTA 4 for PC has not yet been confirmed by the Publisher, Take 2. The release date is not guaranteed and is open to change.

As of writing this I have not had any response from Rockstar or Take 2 regarding this issue.
