It's a happy day with extra gay! Rockstar has unveiled a few teaser shots from the next GTA IV expansion The Ballad of Gay Tony. Click through to check out the whole bunch.

They're sweeter than a shaken cosmopolitan after a day of shoe shopping.

Typical cops, they see a hispanic guy running across the roof of a burning train car and they think the worst

The screenshots have a definite action film vibe about them, from the exploding train car to the exploding boat, or even the exploding helicopter exploding into the exploding cars on the street (which seems to be exploding), there seems to be something of a Michel Bay vibe to the images. The Ballad of Gay Tony certainly seems to be heavy on the action with plenty of opportunity for your character Luis Fernando Lopez to take hot naplamly justice on those who have presumably wronged him. Take note of the new helipcopter which looks a lot like a Mcdonnell Douglas 500 Defender, much quicker and deadlier than that bulky Blackhawk thing from the original game.

The Ballad of Gay Tony will be available to download over Xbox Live from the 29 October and for late adopters (for shame) will be available on disc, along with The Lost and Damned, pretty soon after that.

Update: Here's the sweet ass box art for The Ballad of Gay Tony that includes The Lost and the Damned. It's a bit cheeky claiming there's two full games on the disc, but compared to most retail games the GTA IV Episodes practically are full games.

Note the new look stainless stell Uzi, and is just me or is the first time we've seen a bike with decals in the GTAIV verse?

The MD 500 Defender looks like the perfect random destruction machine, I can't even imagine how the cops would stop you in this
