The release dates listed in this article are the games' original release date.

  • April 29 - Grand Theft Auto IV was released simultaneously for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A few Hollywood producers have set precedent by beginning to browse video game release dates to check for conflicts due to Grand Theft Auto IV's potential harm to the May 2, 2008 release of Iron Man.[9] The PS3 and Xbox 360 version has taken the third and fourth positions of Game Rankings' best-rated games of all time, respectively;[10] as well as being the first console game since 1999 to receive a perfect rating from IGN,[11] and the first title to receive a perfect rating from GameSpot since 2001.[12]
