During today's Take-Two conference call Ben Feder let it slip that Rockstar Leeds is currently porting Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to the Apple iPad and will be released later this month.
Take-Two has announced today the financial results of their second quarter. In the results there is some very sad news, Max Payne 3 has been pushed out of 2010 with no new ball-park release date mentioned. On to some good news, Red Dead Redemption has sold over 5 million since release day, compare that to GTAIV's now 17 million sales since April of 2008. Also, L.A. Noire is still on track to be released this year.

In addition to the eight new L.A. Noire screens which we posted about a few days ago, four more have appeared on news website AllGamesBeta.info. They and can be found below:
CVG revealed today that Rockstar has "stepped down" their E3 plans for this years event. Apparently, Rockstar was planning to show Max Payne 3 and LA Noire at the show, but decided that the time allocated was not enough to show all they could, as a spokesperson told CVG:
"In the end, we feel we simply don't have enough time to show as much as we would like in the time available,"
Instead, Rockstar are planning their own dedicated press events, to be held at their headquarters in New York in the coming weeks. We'll keep you informed of any updates in regards to these events.

We would like to send our condolences to family, friends and fans of the late Dennis Hopper, who passed away yesterday at the age of 74 after a long battle with prostate cancer. Hopper had a career spanning more than 50 years, acting in over one-hundred movies, including the cult 1969 classic Easy Rider which he both directed and starred in. However, you may remember him best for his fantastic voice acting roll in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, portraying the "artistic" pornography director Steve Scott.
Rest In Peace Dennis Hopper - you were, and will remain, a true film legend.
