Spike TV has had gone into overload with its debut trailers this year, and the next big one on the list is the trailer for the 360 exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV expansion, The Lost and Damned.

In it, we get a quick look of the characters and face we will be introduced to in the new chapter, and lots of lots of shots of leather jackets and motorbikes.

The video is under the cut, as usual.

If your not doing anything tonight then you might want to turn on your TV right now for the Spike 2008 Video Game Awards.

While I am usually not too excited about video game award shows, Spike boasts world premiers of new trailers for God of War III, Uncharted 2, GTA IV: Lost and Damned, Brutal Legend, and a couple others.

Even nicer is the announcement of the first DLC for Gears of War 2. The new map pack will be up at 3am eastern US tonight. More details will surface over the night for the all the trailers and announcements along with Jack Blacks antics as he hosts this years show.

We’ll be reporting all the major highlights of the show tomorrow, so keep your eyes open!

Rockstar Games have just released the first screenshots of the recently announced GTA IV DLC content pack “The Lost and Damned”, the first of two Xbox 360 exclusive episodes of content for the game.

As will come as no surprise to anyone, they feature lots of men in leather, riding motor-cycles and generally trying to look all tough.

Enjoy.

Officially detailed today, the Xbox 360 exclusive GTA IV downloadable content, entitled “The Lost and Damned”, will include an entirely new side-story, new multiplayer modes, new weapons and vehicles… and even a new radio station.

“The Lost and Damned” will be the first of two episodes, and it will launch on the Xbox Live Marketplace on February 17. The side story will put you in control of Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost, and will intersect with the main storyline in places.

“Making these episodes has enabled us to expand the narrative and the experience of interacting with a game world in really innovative ways,” said Rockstar’s Sam Houser. “We hope fans of the game enjoy the new way of experiencing life in Liberty City contained in this first episode.”

Well, when they said they were planning big, they certainly weren’t kidding.

This is what downloadable content should be.
