Just when we thought we couldn't love GTA IV more, they go and make this Apple parody. You can see it when you go into an internet cafe.

Google Maps Goes Gangsta - GTA IV Maps Ahoy

Even Google Maps is getting in on GTA IV fever, making an online version of the map that came with the game. In a way, it's much better than the paper map because you can click on and off different points of interests (missions, restaurants, safe houses, gun shops) and know where you're going. What with Google mapping out the ocean, an imaginary world isn't that much of a stretch. Are we the only ones here that wishes they were playing GTA IV instead of working?

GTA IV, supposedly the biggest thing in the history of modern electronic entertainment, has been leaked on the internet. If you're one of the lucky ones with a modded 360 and a copy of the game, disconnect from Live before you play it. Rockstar is watching out for people who go online with these before they're supposed to. [Kotaku]
