GTA, Grand Theft Auto IV – One the most awaited game this season released on 2nd December in America, and 3rd December in Europe. After rocking performance of Rockstar game’s GTA in Microsoft XBOX 360, and SONY’ Playstation 3 this game will surely rock the Windows users. The console version of GTA was launched in end of April 2008.
The PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV is of total 14GB, packed in 2 DVDs of Silver media each of almost 7 to 8 GB. I played older versions of this game, all were maximum of 1 DVD but this game is really a big bang.
The system requirements are quiet too high

The system requirements of this game clearly notifies me “Its the time to upgrade !”.
Previous GTA versions were already banned in many countries, and about this version it will depend on time and the actual game play. This version of GTA is made for 17+ Mature players.
GTA 4 is already available for download at many torrent sites.

This game in a console would be good. But this hand isn’t for PC. The system requirements are absurd. Even with all these requirements it will surely slow down the system.

Well, I want to suggest a small change in this post’s title. PCs are always Windows based, computers having operating system like OSX Leopard are called Macs.
Old Title : Grand Theft Auto IV released for Windows based PC
New Title : Grand Theft Auto IV released on PC Platform.

Actually my thinking is same as you, Windows platform is called as PC. It was first used my Microsoft owner Bill Gates, but the problem is that many people still think that PC means a Computer. Thats why i posted such title
