GTA 4 is quite popular among the players, and many consider it to be the best game from the series. The title also marked the beginning of the HD Era of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. It was initially released for consoles in April 2008, and the PC version came out in December 2008.
Two expansion packs of GTA 4 — The Lost and Damned, and The Ballad of Gay Tony — were released for Xbox in 2009, and in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows.
In the game, players go through the journey of Niko Bellic, a European immigrant who arrives in Liberty City aboard a cargo ship. It was an instant success; over 3.6 million copies of GTA 4 were sold within 24 hours of release, which roughly equated to $310 million in revenue.
