GTA IV's iPhone Parody Cuts to the Heart of Apple's Mystique, Then Stabs it Repeatedly

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. We think it reflects quite truthfully on the Apple audience, don't you? Now excuse me while I call up my publisher to line up a How to Do Everything with Your iFruit Phone. [TUAW] More »

Latest by n/a: Funny in game ad COD4 is a 10 minute circle jerk, rinse and repeat for white suburban 15yr olds who listen to Rap. I love 1st person shooters, and frankly COD4 cheapens the genre. ( i know a bit harsh it is more »

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 Leaked Online, Piracy Wins Again

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]

Limited Edition Xbox Elite Consoles Bear Smashing GTA Branding, Not for You and I

Grand Theft Auto IV is coming, and with it Microsoft are dropping an awesome, limited edition, Xbox Elite console, which features GTA branding all over. The gaming beast will not be launched to the public, but instead will be given away as press kits to promote the new title, which kinda sucks. Only 500 units will be produced, and each will carry a unique identifier etched on. More »

Dash Express Runs on OpenMoko FOSS Platform, Nerds' Heads Explode

Today we learned that the seductively interactive Dash Express GPS navigator is using the OpenMoko open-source mobility platform that led to the Neo 1973 smartphone. This makes the Dash the first product based on OpenMoko's GTA0X reference design, with GPS hardware designed to order by OpenMoko and its parent company, FIC. Did we need one more reason to love this thing? Well, we got it. (There's a press release down below.) More »

FIC's Linux-based Smartphone

FIC's taking more than just a page from the Linux community with its FIC-GTA001 smartphone—its taking their entire playbook. Hoping to capitalize on what is essentially free programmers for the project, FIC is releasing a Linux-based smartphone complete with an SDK (Software Development Kit). This allows end-users to develop their own programs and functionality for the phone (picture an army of geeks making sure you can play back DivX on your phone). More »

Sex Mod Smacks Down GTA: San Andreas

Kotaku is all over the breaking news that the Entertainment Ratings Safety Board has rescinded its rating for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and urged retailers to stop selling the game. The move is the latest fallout from the Hot Coffee mod (an explicit sex game hidden inside GTA:SA, for those just joining the story). Notes Kotaku,
The decision could have a sweeping impact on the industry as a whole. The decision forces the ESRB to consider Easter eggs, hidden content and perhaps even the ability to mod a game in rating future games. It also could lead to a crack-down by the industry on the modding community, forcing game developers to spend more time making their games mod and crack proof lest they be held responsible for some future modification of their game.
Good times.
