Game Informer Magazine Features Exclusive First Look Coverage of Grand Theft Auto IV

Game Informer, the world’s leading computer and video game magazine, features the exclusive first-look cover story of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto IV in its May 2007 issue.

Game Informer unveils the first in-depth look at one of the year’s most anticipated and closely guarded gaming titles in its 10-page exclusive story. “Grand Theft Auto IV brings gamers back to Liberty City in this installment, but they will be blown away by what they see,” says Andy Reiner, executive editor at Game Informer. “Grand Theft Auto was the franchise that defined a generation, and it looks like Rockstar is going to do it again in this first iteration for next generation consoles.”

Game Informer has offered first-look coverage of all three Grand Theft Auto titles. The first two installments in the GTA series went on to become bestselling titles. According to Cathy Preston, Game Informer publisher, “We are anxious to bring our readers and Grand Theft Auto fans in-depth coverage on this highly anticipated sequel that can’t be found anywhere else.”

The May issue of Game Informer hits newsstands April 26. Grand Theft Auto IV is expected to land in stores for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 October 16.
