After staying silent for 5 months, Rockstar has finally acknowledged the existence of Max Payne 3 for OSX and has announced that it'll be coming to the App Store on June 20th. No word yet if this also includes Steam, which as we've previously reported, is currently set to allow Windows users to grab the OSX version at no additional cost. A list of system requirements is below.

Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion

Intel Dual Core Xeon / Core i Series 2.4 GHZ or greater

4GB System RAM

NVIDIA® 8800GT 512MB VRAM

or AMD Radeon HD 4870 512 VRAM

HDD Space: 35GB

The Official PlayStation Blog has released nine new screenshots of Grand Theft Auto V.

Last night Sony held their pre-E3 press conference, announcing a number of consumer friendly things in contrast to the anti-consumer policies Microsoft announced earlier this week. During the conference, Sony took a few minutes to announce that they will be releasing a Grand Theft Auto V themed PlayStation 3 bundle, to be priced at $299, that features a 500 GB console and a copy of Grand Theft Auto V. A Grand Theft Auto V custom headset for the PS3 was also announced.

For the past couple of years now a very talented mod team has been working to bring Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories to the PC. Yesterday, the team released the third beta of their mod, codenamed "Blue Hesper". Utilizing in-house tools, the team has been able to port the second half of Vice City as well as the first chapter of missions, pedestrians, vehicles and weapons from their original Vice City Stories files. While the modification is built on the PC version of San Andreas, it has been heavily modified by the team to add new features and fix old outstanding problems with the engine.

The video above shows of the great lengths the team has gone to make the modification plays exactly like the original game, right down the little details such as facial movements in cut-scenes and banter between characters.

As with anything, there are bound to be a few pesky bugs once something is in the wild. If you come across an issue, please report it to the team. As issues are fixed, updates will be released via the in-game updater. With that said, we highly encourage everyone with a copy of San Andreas to check out the mod as soon as possible. The VCS PC Edition team has certainly raised the quality bar for total conversion mods and they are well on their way of obtaining their goal to fully create a PC version of Vice City Stories just as if Rockstar had created it themselves.

You can visit the official website which gives a number of details about what exactly is included in Beta 3. Already convinced and want jump right in and play? You can download the mod directly from us or one of the mirrors on the mod's ModDB page.

Rockstar has announced today that Grand Theft Auto V will have both a Special and a Collectors edition along with a standard retail version.

Atomic is a tire company in the game and has products available in any Los Santos Customs garage. No word yet if you'll only be able to fly a blimp if you don't pre-order or if it's just for this specially branded one.

Included in the previews of the editions above are glimpses of the map. A GTAF user by the name of xXTHRUSTYXx has taken the liberty of piecing them together.

EDIT: It seems that although Steam will let you walk through the download screens on OSX, it fails to actually download the game (resulting in the error below). This is likely because the actual game files are still marked as part of a private beta on Steam's backend. Still, this shows that Rockstar is nearing the release stage and we should hear something officially very shortly.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: A few months ago we announced that Rockstar was silently working on a Mac OSX port of Max Payne 3 using the Cider emulation layer. In the same vein that Rockstar worked on it, Rockstar has silently released the port on Steam just a few hours ago. It is a SteamPlay title, meaning that if you already own the Windows version, you can download Max on your Mac at no extra cost.

As of yet Rockstar has yet to even officially acknowledge the port so we're not sure if the port will be making its way to other services such as the Mac App Store. We'll update you when we have more information.

Four more pieces of eye candy Grand Theft Auto V screenshots have been released.

Rockstar has posted a batch of 12 new Grand Theft Auto V screenshots for your enjoyment.

Rockstar has updated the official Grand Theft Auto V website with both the screenshots we seen as part of the previews, and four new ones. We've taken the liberty of embedding the four new ones below. (To clarify: of the 24 screenshots Rockstar released today, only 4 of them had not already been released with the previews. Since we've already covered the 20 screenshots in two previous news stories, we didn't feel the need to again report on the 20 screenshots and decided to focus on the four new ones.)
