GTA IV preview for Xbox 360
29th April 2008. If you've not already marked that date in your diary, then do so immediately. Because that's when we're finally getting the next game in one of gaming's biggest and best franchises. Yes, Grand Theft Auto IV is set for a simultaneous worldwide release in just over two months' time.
