Rockstar has been kind enough to pass out an email to us and other fansites tonight detailing the Xbox 360 Achievements that Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned will have, they are as follows:

• Get Good Wood – 50 – In the Bike Races, whack off 69 bikers with a bat.
• Easy Rider – 100 – Finish The Story
• Full Chat – 70 – Your backup are riding at their best!
• The Lost Boy – 25 – All hail the leader of The Lost!
• One Percenter – 5 – Billy is back on his bike.

Attached to the email was a NEW high-resolution screenshot of Johnny, entitled "Shotgun Stare". You can download the full screenshot by clicking the preview below:

Rockstar has also hinted that there is more news to come in the few weeks ahead, so check back soon for some new updates on the first ever DLC for a Grand Theft Auto game.

Eight gaming sites have posted their previews of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars today, the three we found most intreaging where:

CVG

New to Chinatown Wars is a burnout mechanic which, by holding accelerate and handbrake, you can spin your wheels and then burn off leaving a trail of fire. The fire, hilariously, kills nearby people, which is as useful as it is funny in police chases

We hijacked a sports car that required us to loosen four screws and remove a panel, exposing two wires that needed to be ripped out and connected to start the engine - all on the touch screen.

IGN

I could have assembled that sniper rifle all day - it felt so satisfying, slotting all the pieces into place. Jacking into cars - and there were different mini-games depending on which car you were jacking - also felt really good, be it jamming a screwdriver into the ignition or hotwiring a car.

GamesRadar

Rockstar Leeds has gone to town with the DS' feature set, using it all in ways that arguably immerse you more in the experience than any other edition in the series.

The rest of the reviews can be found at:

• Kikizo
• GameDaily
• 1UP
• Total Video Games
• GamePlayer

There are some new screenshots in the previews, but we don't feel it would make much sense posting them here without a proper description of each, so check out each review for a full wrap up including imagery and details! Check back soon for more news as the game nears release.

Rockstar has released eight new screenshots of Grand Theft Auto: the Lost and Damned.

The trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV: the Lost and Damned was shown last night at the Spike VGAs. We have embedded a watermarked version of  the trailer below and will update the video once we find an un-watermarked version of the trailer.

The long anticipated DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV is getting closer to release, so screenshots are slowly going live on the internet. Today, Xbox.com has released 3 new screens for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost And Damned.


You can clearly see in the second screenshot that the new playable character "Johnny Klebitz" is hitting another biker with a baseball bat. Could this be a new gameplay feature or just a cutscene? We'll have to find out on the release of The Lost And Damned on the 17 of February!

 

Spike TV has been sending out a press release that states that Grand Theft Auto IV: the Lost and Damned will make a debut at the 2008 Spike VGAs. Not much else was stated in the press release that we don't already know about the episode. The VGAs will take place on December 14, 2008 at 9:00 EST.

GAMERS TO TRAVEL DOWN THE ROAD OF "THE LOST AND DAMNED" FOR THE FIRST TIME AT 2008 VGAS

Exclusive World Premiere of Rockstar Games' First "Grand Theft Auto IV" Episode to Debut at Spike's Video Game Awards

NEW YORK, NY, December 5, 2008 - Today, Rockstar Games and Spike TV announced that "Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned" will world premiere at the 2008 Video Game Awards, live Sunday December 14 at 9:00pm, ET (tape delay on West Coast).

Since its launch in April, "Grand Theft Auto IV" has garnered unprecedented praise and acclaim worldwide, with a staggering nine nominations for the 2008 Video Game Awards including "Game of the Year".

Developed by series creator Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, "The Lost and Damned" features a new main character and plot that intersects with the storyline of "Grand Theft Auto IV"; new missions that offer an entirely fresh way to explore Liberty City with new multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles; and a diverse soundtrack with additional music - all with the incredible production values that are the trademarks of "Grand Theft Auto".

Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE worldwide on February 17, 2009, "Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned" requires players to have the full version of "Grand Theft Auto IV" for Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE membership to download.

The sixth annual "VGAs," hosted by Jack Black, will bring together megastars from the worlds of video games, Hollywood, music, sports and more to celebrate the outstanding achievements within the video game industry over the past year, and world premiere the hottest games of 2009 and beyond.  The 2-hour extravaganza will premiere LIVE on Spike TV Sunday, December 14 at 9:00pm, ET (tape delay on West Coast) from Sony Picture Studios in Culver City, CA.

Retailer GameStop today has listed Grand Theft Auto: the Lost and Damned. The retail version is just basically a box with a pre-paid Xbox Live Marketplace Card inside, which you can activate on marketplace. The box will also include a nice two sided poster. We're thinking it's artwork of Johnny.

• Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned packaging will include a 2 sided poster and an Xbox LIVE Marketplace token card. The token card will contain a unique code to purchase The Lost and Damned over the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
• Runs with a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV on Xbox 360
• No disc included in packaging – Downloadable Content Only
• Must have an Xbox LIVE account
• Consumer Return Policy: Enclosed in each package will be an Xbox LIVE Marketplace token. This token will have a tear off strip that reveals a unique code to download the content over the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Once this code has been exposed, the downloadable content has been potentially accessed and can no longer be accepted for return.

 GameStop has also listed a price of $20, not bad for a pack that has a new story, new multiplayer modes, new characters, new weapons and vehicles, and new music....or for even more you can BUY cheats for NFS: Undercover so you can unlock stuff already on the disk.

Rockstar has officially announced the episodic content pack that was detailed last night by the USA Today. In the press release, it mentions some new content coming with the pack.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, The Lost and Damned features a new main character and plot that intersects with the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV; new missions that offer an entirely fresh way to explore Liberty City with new multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles; and a diverse soundtrack with additional music - all with the incredible production values that are the trademarks of Grand Theft Auto.

New multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles, new music, and a new story? No wonder why Microsoft bought exclusive rights to the pack! The press release also mentions that the pack will be released February 17, 2009.
