Recap, Screens & Race Winners from Midnight Club: Los Angeles Social Club Multiplayer Event on Xbox LIVE (February 17)

Posted: February 28, 2011 10:30AM | Author: R* Y

If you weren’t a part of our Midnight Club: Los Angeles multiplayer event last Thursday, not only did you miss out on a chance to compete against Rockstars and on a t-shirt giveaway, you also missed out on three hours of streetracing action around Los Angeles. Missing an opportunity like that is inherently a fail, so take this as fair warning that we have another date in our Social Club Multiplayer Events Series on March 4th from 4-7PM Eastern. We’ll be playing Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare on Xbox LIVE, so remember to join us for that (or one of our other events) and get with the winning team.

Speaking of winning, below is a list of the winners and times from each race in our Midnight Club: Los Angeles event. Note to the uninitiated: this is the area you’d want to screencap and post to your friend’s wall on Facebook if you demolished them in a multiplayer event — remember the golden rule, pics or it didn’t happen.

GER b0dE 01, vs Red Bull and GVRafioso1 line up and prepare for the start of the Ordered Race 'Beaches and Beverly Run'. Vs Red Bull took the early lead, being trailed closely most of the time by CoolDude146. Vs Red Bull held on and claimed victory with a time of 01:55.96, compared to CoolDude146's 01:59.63. Nice.

Our own GwRockstar6 uses his 06 S7 to slam another Rockstar GwRockstar3 and his 06999R into the wall at the beginning of one of the first races of the event in the Ordered Race 'Valley Freeways'. Grats to UnloadedWall on crossing the finish line first.

GER b0dE 01, Confirmed Sky, RECYCLOPS dks, LOCOSVILLE, Ninjapocalipse and reixbox get going ahead of GwRockstar3 during a Race Editor race with a fan-made custom map. Congratulations to reixbox on getting 1st place, and we also want to give a shout out to RECYCLOPS dks and his cold, robot heart for placing 3rd.

LOCOSVILLE turns on the jets a tad early as seven others work to navigate the extremely short 20-25 second fan-made Race Editor race. While our own GwRockstar3 had the lead for about 15 seconds, Confirmed Sky pulled ahead at the very last moment, edging out GwRockstar3 by only 11 hundredths of a second.

You've gotta look closely in this one. UnloadedWall appears to be showing off at the beginning of an Ordered Race in 'Welcome to Hollywood', not realizing that a second later GwRockstar3 will be watching ShadowHorse95 and Boogie83e (both above to the right) slam into and cause Unloaded Wall to topple off the motorcycle and faceplant into the Los Angeles pavement. Ouch. A few minutes later, GwRockstar3 finished first.

Good show all around to everyone that took part in the event. You were all as ruthless (and ostentatious with your customizations) in game as we’ve come to expect. You guys have demonstrated once again that you know how to compete hard to leave someone out cold and in the dust. See below for a list of the event participants.

For the Holiday Shopping Procrastinator: Digital Rockstar PC Collection Gifting on Steam

Posted: December 22, 2010 5:15PM | Author: R* Q

Whether you're a consummate procrastinator that is going to inevitably find yourself with your Xmas shopping list full come this weekend (and if you have yet to start Hanukkah shopping, boy oh boy are you in trouble) - or whether you're just plum lazy and don't want to have to endure shopping mall traffic, parking and checkout line madness - we've got a perfect and admittedly self-serving suggestion for you to hook up that gamer cousin, friend, lover or whomever.

Digital download PC game gifting and holiday sale with the Rockstar Collection on Steam.

Available in the Rockstar Collection: the Grand Theft Auto series on PC (which includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV & Episodes from Liberty City).  All this plus Bully: Scholarship Edition, the original Max Payne, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, Manhunt and Midnight Club II, all of which can be easily gifted by selecting the "Purchase as a gift" option when checking out. Their FAQ page has a lot more info about how gifting works.

This entire vault of Rockstar value is available now via Steam as one big motherlode package for the ludicrously cheap price of $39.99 - but only through January 2nd. If à la carte stocking stuffers are more your style, individual Rockstar titles and bundles available on Steam are also 33% off from now until January 2nd (so you can even gift belatedly after the holidays). 

How thoughtful of you.
