The internet is expected to come to a near halt at 8pm tonight when Rockstar Games unveils a brand new trailer for its forthcoming game Grand Theft Auto IV.

Entitled Move up, ladies, the trailer, which will appear on the company's official website, is expected to provide more sneak peeks into the game that looks likely to perform even better at retail than this year's chart-topper Halo 3.

The last time Rockstar released a trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV, the firm's official website came to a crashing halt as hundreds of thousands of gamers attempted to watch it.

The game, which was originally scheduled for release in October, is now due to arrive on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 between February and April next year.
