Rockstar Games have unveiled The Ballad of Gay Tony, the latest slice of downloadable content for the award-winning computer game Grand Theft Auto IV.

The official Rockstar Games site describes the game as placing the player into the role of Luis Lopez, a “part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to nightclub impresario Tony Prince (a.k.a. Gay Tony).”

The Ballad of Gay Tony is still some months away and very little known about its core content, the underlying  controversy that seems to follow Rockstar from game to game could grow progressively more pungent as the detail get revelaed.

XBox 360 players will be able to download the episode using XBox Live or purchase it as a DVD disc that will also contain the first GTA IV episode, "The Lost and the Damned,".
