Tuesday brings a new chapter in GTA IV and a new step in the evolution of downloadable content. Also there's Yusuf 'Arab Money' Amir.It's been ten months since Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto IV to rave reviews and blockbuster sales numbers. And The Ballad's is especially fun because you get some additional time with an even more sadistic and intimidating Bulgarin. The Damned's in particular paints an even more noticeably harrowing light unto Niko's story for how much your seemingly small actions cascade across Johnny's story. They're both definitely worth playing because some of the best moments are watching as each story connects and affects one another. The Ballad's Drug side-missions are much better than The Damned's Biker Gang side-missions, though. Then again so was the strange level-up mechanic for your fellow bikers in The Damned, but it still more successfully delivered on the tone it was going for than The Ballad I think. There was a disappointingly small amount of clothing to select from, you only had one apartment, and the actual club-management side stuff was pretty weak. That's probably the one point where The Ballad faltered for me I never felt like I was actually living the high life as some successful club manager. Oh, and riding bikes is so much fun in The Damned (mixed in with the sawn-off shotty!) and it overall manages to perfectly capture the feel of rollin' within a biker gang. Gay Tony kinda flutters about at points (like story threads concerning Luis' mum and his gang-banger buddies), even if it's also got some solid comedy in there with Brucie. The Ballad is still pretty fun as well, and Gay Tony is a really goofy character who reminds me of Rosenberg from Vice City, but the actual drama and story is better and more consistent in L&D. Johnny Klebitz is easily my favourite of the three GTAIV protagonists and I much prefer the grittier, grungier style of the L&D over The Ballad.
