The spotlight once again falls on Direct2Drive, which is in the second week of its big Spring Sale. The deals are actually pretty ridiculous, featuring steep cuts on Total War, Grand Theft Auto IV and others. You’re not likely to get much better deals anytime soon, so check out the list under the Spotlight section, as well as all the rest of this weekend’s deals.

While discussing Grand Theft Auto’s possible future on their official podcast, Ben Wilson, Editor-In-Chief for Official PlayStation Magazine UK, let slip that something different is coming down the pipe for the PS3.

“There is another game that we can’t talk about – I’d love to – that we know where it’s an open-world game that’s coming out this year,” Wilson says. “Everyone’s looking at me confused – this is genuinely true”.

He says that while he’s “not making this up,” the game will be set in an open-world environment “where people will be able to design their own missions online and share them.”

Grand Theft Auto IV – Platinum Edition

Been holding out for Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City on PC or PlayStation 3? You’re going to have to wait just a bit longer. Developer Rockstar Games sent word today that the newly multiplatform episodes won’t be making their originally revealed release date of March 30; instead, expect The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned to finally hit PS3 and PC on April 13 in North America (April 16 everywhere else).

So what’s up with the delay? Apparently Rockstar opted to make some “minor content changes” to the PS3’s PAL version of the game at the request of Sony Europe. What these changes are, exactly, remains unclear, but a representative from Rockstar assured us that the alterations won’t affect players’ enjoyment of the games. They also noted that the adjustments have nothing to do with the requirements of any local ratings boards.

We’ll let you know as soon as we know anything more about whatever it is Sony wanted cut from (or added to?) Episodes from Liberty City.

Here is my exclusive video review for Grand Theft Auto 4 for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Is it worth the hype? Check out the video. This video was created and edited entirely by me.
