Ballad Salad

Brand new trail for the next (last?) installment of a wider Grand Theft Auto 4 experience. The Ballad of Gay Tony teases neon Vice lifestylin' and San Andreas recreational pursuits, topped off with vicious calamity vehicle thugging. Previous ep, The Lost and Damned, beefed with a punchier weapon-set, Gay Tony promises a similar ambition for your rides. It's not all aces though. The anti-art stink of PR product positioning gets all up in your nose. How else to categorise that crowbarred back-alley fumbling between new lead Luis and an unnamed lady? "Remember folks, you ain't playing no gay! You're his hired gun!"
