"As a service for all <em>GTA</em> fans" -- and to keep them chomping at the bit for the incoming sequel -- Rockstar has curated over 70 playlists from notable faux stations like Radio Espantoso, The Vibe 98.8 and K-Jah. The games studio was limited by the songs that were currently available, so there's a few omissions from both the streaming service and Apple's music store. Once you've got over that initial disappointment, head to Rockstar's site to sample the last ten years of GTA's drive-time listening.</p>

Before <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-sets-sales-records-with-6-million-unit-500-million-fir/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Niko Bellic</a>, there was a man who was known as Claude, who was just as willing to terrorize Liberty City back in Grand Theft Auto III. If fond memories of carjackings and Flashback 95.6 are starting to rush back, know that Rockstar plans to sell you a fresh copy for your iOS or Android devices come December 15th. And just so we're clear, the $4.99 redux is a full re-release -- not some watered-down version with an alternate story line. Already counting the days? Peep the list of compatible devices after the break so it's not all for naught. Go on, we've left you a surprise.

Type "Liberty City" into Google Maps and it whisks you to some place east of Wichita, Kansas. Yup<em>, Wichita</em>, for Pete's sake. No self-respecting <em>Grand Theft Auto</em> fan can stand for an omission like that, and thankfully now they don't have to. Those hardcore Niko-lovers at <em>gta4.net</em> have not only recreated the <em>real </em>fictional Liberty City using the Google Maps API, they've even cobbled together 80,000 screenshots to provide full-blown Street View too. Man, we haven't seen this much Gay Tony passion since the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/11/feature-length-film-the-trashmaster-made-entirely-in-grand-the/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Trashmaster</a>. Oh, wait a minute -- apparently this so-called Street View leaves out a couple of ramps that <em>gta4.net</em> considered to be "not very interesting." Hush, and you call yourselves fans?

<div style="text-align: left;">If you're familiar with <em>The Sims</em>-style gaming, where actual life, art, and the game can easily blur, this little story may not come as a huge surprise to you. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/grand+theft+auto?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Grand Theft Auto</a> IV player / enthusiast Mathieu Weschler spent two years making <em>The Trashmaster</em>, a feature-length 'film' made entirely in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/game/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">game</a>, about a garbage man who has another gig on the side. Now, we'll freely admit that we did not watch the entire thing (yet), but from what we have seen, it actually looks fairly engaging! The film is embedded after the break.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">Our friends, this next post is fraught with danger, excitement, and West Coast rappers with names like B-Real, Sen Dog, and Michael "Shagg" Washington. Indeed, the latter is alleging that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/rockstargames?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Rockstar</a> appropriated his likeness for the character CJ, a hood in <em>Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas</em> whose life apparently shares many details with his own troubled upbringing, "including how the teen-agers in his gang rode around on bicycles," according to his lawyer. It seems that way back in 2003 the Cypress Hill backup singer met with reps from the game studio for a two hour interview "to talk about street life," and the next thing you know, <em>San Andreas</em><em> </em>is released and you have criminals riding around on bikes! Coincidence? Mr. Shagg doesn't think so, and he's asking for twenty-five percent of Rockstar's profits from the game -- approximately $250 million -- because they've "stolen his image and never paid him." Now that we think of it, isn't there an obsessive gadget blogger in that game that looks awfully familiar? We'd better call our lawyers.</div>

Microsoft just announced that its new Games for Windows Marketplace online PC games store will launch on November 15th. Think <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/steam?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Steam</a>, but not quite. The store offers online web access from anywhere and features fast purchase and download turnarounds to accelerate the time to game play; discounted games; and game search by title, genre or publisher. Games for Windows Marketplace is integrated with Microsoft's existing Xbox LIVE and Windows Live services and will launch with over 100 titles including "Fable: The Lost Chapters" and "Grand Theft Auto III." Anyone with a Windows Live ID can login. Check out the full press release after the break before heading over to Joystiq for more detailed coverage.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/microsoft-games-for-windows-marketplace-relaunches-in-your-browser-on-november-15/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace relaunches in your browser on November 15</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/microsoft-games-for-windows-marketplace-relaunches-in-your-browser-on-november-15/3499357?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/gamesforwindowsmarketplacearticlenewscreenshotpublisher-page_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/microsoft-games-for-windows-marketplace-relaunches-in-your-browser-on-november-15/3499359?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/gamesforwindowsmarketplacearticlenewscreenshothome_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/microsoft-games-for-windows-marketplace-relaunches-in-your-browser-on-november-15/3499360?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/gamesforwindowsmarketplacearticlenewscreenshotgame_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/microsoft-games-for-windows-marketplace-relaunches-in-your-browser-on-november-15/3499361?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/gamesforwindowsmarketplacearticlenewscreenshotcatalog_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div>

That's right folks, the crew at Rockstar Games is celebrating the launch of <em>Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City</em>, and they've offered up a custom <em>Grand Theft Auto</em> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/PS3Slim/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">PS3 Slim</a> to give away. We have just one of these to give away, and the package will contain the following: a custom decorated 120GB PS3 Slim (with a two tone paint job in black and Lexus pearl white, an LED-backlit skyline and logo on the unit, a custom power panel with laser etched back lit power and eject buttons) along with a color-matched controller.<br />
<br />
So you want this, right? If so, we need to see your current gaming setup -- the crappier, the better. To be eligible to win, you'll need to drop a link in comments of a photo of your gear (if you don't include a photo, you <em>can't</em> win). The deadline to get your pics in is by <strong>Friday, April 23rd, 2010, at 12:30pm ET</strong>. After we get all the contributions, we'll go through every single one to find the worst of the worst -- and that person will win this very special PS3 Slim. The full rules are after the break -- so get commenting and good luck!

Rolling around jacking up innocents and tossing Molotov cocktails is pretty enthralling on your vanilla <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-sets-sales-records-with-6-million-unit-500-million-fir/">46-inch HDTV</a>, but can you even imagine the rush of swiping a hot dog, burning out in someone else's whip and then snagging a new pair of kicks on <em>this</em>? Researchers (and gamers, obviously) down at UC San Diego have re-engineered their middleware to enable such masterpieces as this to be played on the <strike>big</strike> monolithic <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/hiperspace-visualization-system-takes-the-crown-with-220-million/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">HIPerSpace</a> screen, and needless to say, we can't imagine much real work getting done with this new functionality coming to light. Head on down to the gallery to see what you're missing -- science, research and 4.0 GPAs are such beautiful things.<br /><br />

Yeah, that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/scee-confirms-grand-theft-auto-iv-ps3-bundle-headed-to-europe/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">fancy press shot</a> has a certain beauty to it, but there's just nothing like spotting a highly coveted console in the wild. Thanks to our cameraphone toting tipster in Belgium, we're presented with the first image of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/gta-iv-40gb-playstation-3-bundle-surfaces-in-europe/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">GTA IV bundle</a> sitting on a shelf just waiting for someone to trade their &euro;450 in and take it home. Oh, and if you're wondering what type of shop places a sweet PS3 beside an assortment of blank media, a coffee mug and what appears to be a CRT television circa 1990, it's Free Record Shop in Antwerp, sucka.<br /><br />[Thanks, Yannick]

If you're still licking your lips while gazing at that limited edition <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/microsoft-unloads-500-gta-iv-xbox-360-elite-consoles/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">GTA IV Xbox 360 Elite</a>, you may have the opportunity to make your GTA-branded console ownership dreams come true in a slightly different manner. Out of seemingly nowhere, a Grand Theft Auto IV PlayStation 3 bundle has popped up on a Swedish retailer's website, offering a 40GB PS3, a copy of the game, a decorated box and little else (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/sony-announces-dualshock-3-controller/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">DualShock 3</a>?). Judging by the package art, we're guessing there's no suave paint job waiting on either side, and Webhallen has the unit priced at 4,499 SEK (or about $755). Before you ask -- there's no telling whether this thing is headed stateside or not, but <em>surely</em> Sony / Rockstar Games wouldn't let such a moneymaker swim around the US of A, right?<br /><br />[Via N4G, thanks John]

While folks at the Xbox 360 repair lab know good and well how to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/gamers-tale-takes-xbox-repair-woes-to-new-levels-of-sadness/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">strip a console</a> back to its birthday suit, Microsoft is going the opposite direction with its limited run of Grand Theft Auto IV Elites. The console itself is purportedly blasted with automotive quality paint and each one is individually numbered. Apparently, the 500 units -- which look to come with a case full of peripherals -- are only being dished out to press outlets and the like, so it seems your only shot at actually acquiring one is by scouring the second hand market. Or you could just steal one and toss a Molotov cocktail behind as you're getting away -- that'd be fitting, we guess.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/03/21/limited-edition-gta-iv-360s-given-to-press-outlets/">Xbox360Fanboy</a>]

Guesswhose favorite scandal-ridden carousing ex-gangster party animal Los Angelean Swede just got charged with felony countsof embezzlement, grand theft auto, driving under the influence, and illegal possession of a firearm by felon? You gotit, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=eriksson?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Stefan Eriksson</a>. who supposedly faces 14 years in prison,if found guilty. What, you didn't think someone <ahref="http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/09/gizmondo-chief-finally-arrested-for-being-too-shady/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">this shady</a> was goingto go about his business forever more without further question after that <ahref="http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/22/former-gizmondo-execs-crashed-1m-ferrari-enzo/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">fateful evening lastFebruary</a>, did you? Oh, and FYI, the handsome, mysterious Dietrich -- the man accused by Eriksson of driving the $1mEnzo into the pole at 160mph -- continues to evade capture, despite prosecuters' claims he does not exist. We have justreceived word, however, that he was spotted late last week attempting to cross the Canadian border in a Groucho Marxdisguise and Ferrari PowerWheels.<br /><br />[Thanks, Alex B]<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> Apparentl Eriksson <ahref="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-ferrari-crash,1,6324110.story?coll=chi-news-hed&amp;ctrack=1&amp;cset=true">pleadednot guilty</a> and was held on $5.5m bail.

We shamelessly ripped thisheadline verbatim from the subject of reader Dave M's tip, because, well, it's just so perfect, isn't it? Specifically,former Tiger Telematics Europe executive and drunk driving enthusiast Stefan Eriksson was arrested at his Bel-Airresidence on Saturday, booked on suspicion of grand theft, and is currently enjoying decidedly less-luxurioussurroundings, as the Sheriff's Department is wisely holding the slippery Swede without bail. It's not immediately clearwhether the theft charge is related to Eriksson's <ahref="http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/22/former-gizmondo-execs-crashed-1m-ferrari-enzo/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">destruction of that milliondollar Ferrari Enzo</a> in February (pictured in cake, above), but since we'd already heard that <ahref="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/more-twists-and-turns-in-gizmondo-execs-ferrari-crash/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">a Scottish bank may bethe rightful owners of the mangled supercar</a>, we wouldn't be surprised if the former videogame exec is guilty ofplaying a little real life GTA along with his favorite DUI. Meanwhile, Eriksson's imaginary friend and supposedco-conspirator, "Dietrich," remains at large.<br /><br />[Thanks, Dave M]
