One the best 360 exclusive, even if it's not really a "full game".
Can not wait to pick up some MsPoints and download it.

I have not played GTA in years but this last one looks pretty good.
Is there some specific order in which those games should be played? like IV > TLaD > TBoGT?

No but every game in the series is pretty crappy, so you're damned no matter which you get.

I pretty much agree with the gamespot review, more and better content than most full priced games. To say the least, this is one hell of a deal.

Should be interesting to see where they take this series from now on.

We all have our own tastes. I couldn't even bring myself to keep playing MGS4 after the vamp boss fight I was getting so bored with it. Most people love that game but it just didn't do it for me.

That said, though I didn't enjoy MGS4 much, I'd never call it crap. I realize why it might be fun for others.

I'm with you there. I too just can't stomach MGS4. Got about to the halfway point, and just had to stop. That said, I'm not going to show up to what is largely an appreiation thread for MGS4 and crap all over the game with flamebait statements like what dude said, above. Not that I would not debate in a reasonable manner the merits of the game, or what about the game made it something that did not appeal to me at all in a MGS4 thread. Just that I would not show up to one just to drop flamebait is all.

That said, The Ballad of Gay Tony is awesome. Have not beat it yet (taking my sweet, sweet time), but so far it's the real deal. And like Gamespot's review stated, has more going for it, than most full price games to come out this year. I personally put it up there on equal footing with personal favs from 2009 like Infamous, Arkham Asylum, Borderlands and and better than Red Faction, Halo 3: ODST and Prototype. I liked all six games mentioned on varying levels, but the fact that a mere $20 game is good enough to be held in the same company, and even be considered better than some of the games on that short list, is pretty impressive. Between TBOGT, TLAD and Shadow Complex, 2009 has been a pretty awesome year for inexpensive, downloadable games.

That depends. Any of the three parts you can play independent of the other two. So if The Ballad of Gay Tony is looking more like your thing, then go for it and don't worry about playing GTA IV or The Lost and Damned.

However, one of the most AWESOME (for a videogame) things about all three parts, is that they mesh together to form one cohesive larger story, Pulp Fiction style. Playing through each of the games independently, is like being able to dissect the different story lines from Pulp Fiction, and parse each one into it's own independent movie. Unlike Pulp Fiction however, each of the story arcs in the GTA IV saga, stand as a complete story unto itself. So if you only played through the story in The Ballad of Gay Tony (for example), then it works to the point where you do not ever have to play through the other two episodes, and you still walk away with the satisfaction of having gotten a complete story out of just the one game.

On the other hand, playing them together, is something truly special; watching the multi-layered story unfold to reveal new depths to the whole, with each episode.

From what I can tell, chronologically, Niko Bellic's story in GTA IV begins before Johnny's or Luis' story in each of the separate episodes. Meanwhile, it appears as if Luis' story from The Ballad of Gay Tony ends after the other two episodes. That said, having played all of GTA IV and The Lost and Damned twice, and from what I have seen so far of The Ballad of Gay Tony, you should be able to play through all three of these in any order and still wind up with cool, "ah-ha," moments when you make the connections between people and events from one game in the other two.

Everyone I know who has played all three games, have played them through in order on their first outing. It would be interesting to see if the games have the same impact for someone to play them through out of order. If they do, then the entire GTA IV saga may represent the first time ever in a game, where you could get away with doing such a thing, and it works.
