Big up to all the GTA fans and particularly our invited guest players from the fansite community for joining us in our most recent official Social Club multiplayer event - held on December 2nd, playing Grand Theft Auto IV for PC on what happened to be the 3rd anniversary of that game's release. We also got busy with multiplayer modes from Episodes from Liberty City for PC - and with 32 players per session, we were able to get almost everyone in on some good bloody gametime in the session.

Special congratulations to Reebokanonymous, Arnooow, donutdude101, SimpsonsFan007, hybridboonie, agent_TAC0, Mr.Spykerc8, ChicagoEnigma, tmw214, VMikeL, Elcolorete, Deuce.VS, strikezdotman, PilotasUK, Mantc70, se7switch, IcemanEvans, scareface1970 and Brock338, all winners in the event sweepstakes who scored Rockstar prize packs of rare Grand Theft Auto IV collectible gear. Enjoy, all.

Several fansite luminaries and other Social Club members were good enough to capture and create some pretty stellar fan videos during the afternoon. Here's a great one, courtesy of ChicagoEnigma of fansite RockstarNetwork.net - running roughshod all over our GwRockstar2 and others in this hypnotic, action-packed 12-minute clip:



Here's some more great vids worth checking out, each of which highlighting some of the insane action of the day:

Daniel from GTA-Series.com posted 43 full minutes of multiplayer mayhem.
Stylez from RockstarNetwork.net posted a short recap article.
Social Club member gussi111 combined five races into one video.
FugetSudo tweeted out this one, a highlight reel of gunfights.
Truly awesome stuff - if anyone else has a video to share, be sure to add it in the comments below.

Here's just a few of our own screens we gathered together, moments of multiplayer insanity in good old Liberty City.

And also be on the lookout for a brand new calendar of events to be announced very soon here at the Newswire, covering early 2012.
