PS Plus gets free GTA: Liberty City Stories, Ico tomorrow
Tomorrow, when the PlayStation Store updates, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to access two new free games: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Ico. GTA: LIberty City Stories, which originally launched on the PSP in 2005, is compatible with both PSP and PS Vita. The game is set three years before the events of Grand Theft Auto 3 and follows mafioso Toni Cipriani's return to Liberty City after lying low for a few years. Ico, a PS3-compatible port of the PS2 classic, is centered around a young boy born with horns on his head. Seeing as how this is a bad omen amongst his tribe, a few warriors from his village seal the boy up in the crypt of a massive castle, but he soon discovers he's not alone: A girl who speaks a foreign language is also trapped here and the two soon work together to escape. Of course, tomorrow's PSN update will yield a new series of discounts for PS Plus members as well. Sleeping Dogs will be down to $10, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be down to $8 and Pixel Junk Monsters: Ultimate HD will be up for $12.

Sony has announced the lineup of free PlayStation 3, PSP and Vita games it'll be gifting to PlayStation Plus subscribers over the month of September, and the list is full of both moving experiences and Move-ing experiences.

In the meantime, allow us to apologize for that PS Move joke.
GTA: Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories spin yarns on PSN next week
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories ride onto PSN next week for $9.99/£7.99 each. The last half-year saw the arrivals of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on PSN as PS2 Classics, so it's no shock to see the two other PS2 GTA games join them.Both games originally released on PSP, of course, but it's the PS2 versions (playable on PS3) coming to PSN next week - the PSP versions are already there.
'Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete' due on Oct. 26, retailers say
Uniting the trinity of Liberty City's anti-heros in one bundle, Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete should be out by the end of October, according to a couple of major retailers. As picked up by Gamespot, both Amazon and GameStop have the $40 game listed for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with an October 26 release date. The "complete edition" includes the original Grand Theft Auto IV, motorcycle gang add-on The Lost and Damned and the "never own a night club" fable The Ballad of Gay Tony, all in one box. It seems like a great way to catch up before Rockstar announces the next GTA.
Sony in talks with Rockstar for more GTA on PSP
It might seem as though the once-strong relationship between Rockstar Games, developers of the highly profitable Grand Theft Auto franchise, and Sony, the progenitor of the consoles said franchise once almost exclusively appeared on, is on the outs. Following the 360-exclusive Lost and Damned DLC, and the movement from the series' portable appearances to the DS with GTA: Chinatown Wars, it appears Rockstar has jilted all things PlayStation in hopes of attracting younger, more lucrative suitors.However, this isn't exactly the case. In a recent interview with MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo, PSP hardware marketing chief John Koller explained that Sony isn't ready to let that particular cash cow go out to pasture. Koller commented that the two PSP-based GTA titles sold like bullet-riddled hotcakes, adding that there's "definitely continued conversations with Rockstar" regarding future Grand titles on Sony's handheld. We can only pray that they'll be as Phil Collins-centric as the last one.
