• GwRockstar4
• GwRockstar5

HOW TO FIND ROCKSTAR
Again, Rockstar will begin the event in original Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer. To join, start the in-game Party Mode using the cellphone. Make sure that your in-game Party Mode team size is at least two people. Once ready, head to the chat to find out the mode they're beginning with, and type your Gamertag into the chat. Another way is just to send over a friend request to the Gamertags above. Rockstar will do their best to get you in for a few rounds. More info on using Party Mode is listed below. Hit up the chatbox during the event if you need a partner!

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Grand Theft Auto IV's in-game Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches. Here are the three quick and easy steps to get you up and running:

1. Save your current game. To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the D-pad. Select Multiplayer > Party Mode > Yes.
2. From here, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite your friends (you need at least one friend to play with Rockstar).
3. Once your team is ready to roll, open up the in-game phone again and select Ranked > Team Deathmatch for this event (or whichever event is discussed in the chat).

SPECTATE AND CHAT
Can't jump in and play? As stated above you can still follow the event at the multiplayer events page. Rockstar will have a live streaming video broadcast of the in-game matches plus a chat box so you can discuss the stream with others. Look above for specific directions you can follow to get online, grab a partner, and jump into the fray!

Sounds like a plan! We can't wait for the GTA V events in the future!

With the 10 Year Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto III on mobile devices getting an HD facelift, many wondered if a newer version of the game would be coming to current consoles (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360). Well now the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has just recently rated GTA III and GTA Vice City for the PlayStation 3 system:


See recent ratings here or GTA III page and Vice City page.

As with Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition showing up on BBFC before its announcement, it looks very good for a PlayStation 3 release of these PS2 classics. Hopefully Xbox 360 will be showing up soon too. Stay tuned and join us at the Grand Theft Auto V forums!

Finally, a release date for Max Payne 3 has been announced BUT it will not be releasing this March as previously stated. The game will release in mid-May with a slightly longer wait for the PC.


The highly-anticipated dark and gritty action experience that continues the tale of former New York City detective Max Payne, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 on May 15, 2012 in North America and May 18, 2012 in Europe, with the PC version launching on May 29th, 2012 in North America and June 1st, 2012 in Europe.

"For Max, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, he takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out."

Featuring cutting edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ effects, full integration of Natural Motion’s Euphoria Character Behavior system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience.

In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3’s multiplayer offering brings the game’s cinematic feel, fluid gunplay and kinetic sense of movement into the realm of online multiplayer. Building on the fiction and signature gameplay elements of the Max Payne universe, Max Payne 3 features a wide range of new and traditional multiplayer modes that play on the themes of paranoia, betrayal and heroism, all delivered with the same epic visual style of the single-player game.

Sounds amazing! Look for much much more from Max Payne 3 in the weeks and months ahead, including the next video in the Design & Technology Series plus the official site launch!
