The guys at VideoGamer.com had Rockstar speak with them with when VG went to visit Rockstar’s London HQ, where they got to ask a spokesperson various questions about GTA 4.

The spokesperson told them this:

"If you’re not in a rush and you answer the phone when it rings it’ll take about 100 hours to complete", we were told. "It’s harder to distinguish between main and side missions – there are loads of both. But there are more main missions than side missions. It’s not as clear cut as it used to be because of the phone."

New York Times have recently interviewed Michael Hollick who if you did not know is the voice of Nico Bellic in Grand Theft Auto IV. The main purpose of the interview was to discuss whether actors in video games should get reward rates, penalties etc.

Hollick according to reports only got paid around $100,000 for the 15 months of work he did and says it was very disappointing to see GTA 4 earn millions in it’s first week and for him not to get a cut of it

Micheal Hollick does not blame Rockstar Games but rather the Screen Actors Guild for not setting up guidelines.

Have you ever tried to describe where something is or how to get there to your friends on Grand Theft Auto 4? Well if you haven’t, it gets really confusing but now theres a solution. A website has launched called “GTA SnapMap” what it does is allows you to set a “blip” on the section of the map you want and then show your friends you map by using the URL’s they provide.
