Two classic PS2 Grand Theft Auto games are coming to Playstation Network and we have pricing and release dates for the upcoming Xbox Live House Party.

SHOW NOTES:

Story 1:   

According to a recent listing on the ESRB website, the classic PS2 games Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City will be making their way to the Playstation Network store soon.

No word yet as to when the games will arrive, or what the prices will be, but it appears that they will be straight ports of the PS2 games, and not HD remakes. Also, no word about whether the third GTA game, San Andreas would be coming to the PSN as well, but it would seem like a no brainer.

So if you’ve never played the games, or want to take a nostalgic trip back, these games could be just the thing to while away the hours...Or relieve some stress.

Story 2:  

A couple of weeks ago we mentioned the games that would be coming to this year’s Xbox House Party, and now we can official tell you the release dates and prices for all four games.

The promotion will start on February 15th with Warp for 800 Microsoft Points. Next up is Alan Wake’s American Nightmare on February 22nd for 1200 points, Nexuiz on February 29 for 800 points, and finally I  Am Alive on March 7 for 1200 points.

As as an added bonus, if you purchase all four games during the four week promotion, Microsoft will give you an additional 800 Microsoft Points.

Not a bad deal really...it’s almost like getting Warp or Nexuiz for free. And free is good.
