Grand Theft Auto IV hits the internet, Microsoft investigating
By Ryan Stewart

So a pirated copy of the PAL (Australia, New Zealand, and the EU) version of Grand Theft Auto IV - in part, the subject of the cover story of this week's Phoenix - hit the internet last night. Presumably, someone leaked an advance review copy (don't look at us, we haven't even gotten it yet.)

But here's the thing: the people who are playing it illegally - some of them, at least - are not too smart.

Gears of War 2 trailer already online
By Ryan Stewart
So there was a lot of excitement over what Microsoft had planned for the Game Developers Conference, which is going on right now in San Francisco. Turns out that the big announcement was Gears of War 2, which, while awesome, is hardly an earth-shattering surprise; the original was, after all, a huge hit, and for a while was the best reason to own a 360.

Talking Rock Band with Harmonix's Sean Baptiste
By Ryan Stewart

Last Friday, the Phoenix visited the Central Square offices of Harmonix, the video game development house behind the first two Guitar Hero products, and, with help from their new parent company, MTV, the upcoming, hotly-anticipated Rock Band, which, as you may have heard, takes Guitar Hero's authentic musical simulator feel and stretches that to accommodate a drummer and vocalist.

Tomorrow: Blow off "Madden Day;" play the BioShock demo instead
By Ryan Stewart

Tomorrow is Madden Day, for those who don't know. But since we hate Madden Day, we recommend that Xbox 360 owners head over to Xbox Live and download the playable demo for BioShock, which releases next week. It's from some of the same folks who did System Shock, the game which brought us our favorite video game villain of all time, and judging from the early reviews, it's pretty good

Start your wallets: Xbox 360 price drops
By Ryan Stewart

Microsoft officially announced what we've been expecting all along: the 360 will be getting a $50 price cut across the board on all models starting tomorrow. The standard model will now check in at $349 with the "elite" model setting you back $449.

Makes sense that Microsoft would do this now: there are some amazing-looking games coming in the next few weeks and months, including Halo 3, Rock Band, Bio Shock, Blue Dragon, Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero 3, Mass Effect, Jericho, Lost Odyssey, Half-Life 2: The Orange Box
