IPB ImageGrand Theft Auto IV on Games for Windows LIVE is now available through the Games on Demand service. This means any of you who have not yet got your filthy hands on a copy of the game, can now download it directly from the Games for Windows LIVE client for just £19.99 (or .99).

The PC version of GTA IV has some exclusive features including an easy-to-use video editor tool, hugely improved graphics, the Independence FM radio station that allows you to add your own songs in game. Plus insane up-to-32-player multiplayer matches.

And remember, Episodes from Liberty City comes out on 30th March for the PC and PS3, so now would be the perfect time to get GTA IV.
