Rockstar has released a new gameplay video for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars featuring dealing and delivering. We've embedded the video below. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go buy a DS.

Rockstar has just released a second gameplay video for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars featuring some hacking and sniper rifle gameplay.

Chinatown War is no doubt going to be a huge step for Rockstar, giving some of the award winning franchise to Nintendo fans for the first time (excluding the unsuccessful GTA Advance). However, it is a new avenue for the series, a DS game with the unique DS controls and features.

There is always that possibility with bigs moves like this as to if the game will live up to it's expectations, and obviously Rockstar's last attempt at a GTA on a Nintendo system wasn't all that popular, but take Rapper Fat Joe's word on it, it's "mad ill, [a] dope game".

Convinced now? Okay, so maybe your not completely sure of who this Fat Joe is, thats understandable. Fat Joe has however, as he stated at the beginning of the video, had his music in a GTA game. In Grand Theft Auto IV his popular track Crackhouse featuring Lil Wayne can be heard on The Beat 102.7.

Alright, so he's not exactly somebody of much significance in the world of Grand Theft Auto, but he does seem keen on the game. And hey, if Fat Joe says it's "mad ill"...

Rockstar has released a video showing off hot-wiring, car jacking, and peeling out.

The official site for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has launched. The site has 15 screenshots (most new) and a new trailer.

Interested in having a hand-on demo of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars before it's release on March 17th? Today, Rockstar announced that they will be touring from coast-to-coast at GameStop stores up until the games release. That's 84 GameStop stores throughout 52 cities through Alabama to Washington, over the next 6 weeks.

Check out the events page on the official website to see when the tour is stopping by your local GameStop store, and be sure to attend to have a rare hands-on of the game before it's released, as well as receive some limited edition Rockstar apparel.

It's times like these that I wish I was an American.

Yesterday night, an ad for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars aired during Late Night with Conan O' Brian. Unfortunately, I didn't happen to be watching the show that night (I usually watch via an online service), so I missed the ad. However, tonight I watched Conan's last show and during the show, the ad replayed again. I was able to snatch it up this time and upload it to YouTube.

Rockstar has announced through their RSS Feed that next week the official websites for GTA: Chinatown Wars and Midnight Club: Los Angeles South Central DLC will be launched, along with debut trailers for each. No new release date has been set for the South Central DLC as of yet, you may remember that it was originally planned for release on January 29th, however for an unknown reason the plan wasn't put into action. We have been in contact with Rockstar, and they have assured us that once a date is set they'll let us know.

No word on when in the week to expect the launches of the websites and debut trailers, but we'll keep you posted.
