Heres some of what was said by IGN

January 22, 2009 - Downloadable content is about to get a major kick in the ass. The release of GTA IV: The Lost and Damned on February 17 is going to change the way people think about DLC. The standard for a DLC expansion pack is some new locations and a few new missions either shoved into a story already told or tacked on to its ending. But Rockstar has a unique vision for Liberty City. What if Liberty City--as fully detailed and realized a city as you'll find in a videogame--were a platform itself? What if the LC were a template where new games could be inserted? While The Lost & Damned features the same gameplay mechanics and storytelling style of GTA IV, it is as close to a full new game as I've seen for "add-on content."

 

Rest of article here.

Looks like it was worth the purchase for MS.

That's pretty neat. An entirely new game within Liberty City.

My question is whether the two games interact or not. Like, can Niko participate in arm wrestling, or can Johnny do the online dating thing?

Game looks good, though.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
