SPOnG’s just come off the blower with our good friends over at Rockstar London, who just informed us that the countdown to the first GTA IV trailer has just kicked off.

SPOnG in turn informed Rockstar about the dark and twisted dreams we had last night starring certain members of their PR team, frightening old grannies and some killer bees in our eyes. We kind of wish we hadn’t told them all about this now, as they might think we are a bit weird in the head. But it did give us a good idea for a game to pitch to Rockstar….

Back to the Grand Theft Auto: IV trailer, SPOnG will have a full HD version ready to go straight into your eyes on March 29th.

If you are incredibly bored at any point before then, you can hit the countdown clock on Rockstar’s official game site at Rockstargames.com/IV.

GTA IV releases on PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 17 this year. Mark it in the diary now.
