Last week saw the surprise
update of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which was a welcome surprise
because it's a darn fine Grand Theft Auto game. If you haven't checked
out this game in the series, now is as good a time as ever, as the
game's dropped in price to $2.99. This was initially a DS spinoff of the
GTA series, but a fantastic game nonetheless, with all the crime action
of the series represented well in a scaled-down form, and with a rather
compelling drug dealing economy to play with. Granted, there are Grand
Theft Auto 3 and its sequels on the App Store now, but this one actually
holds its own.
Both the regular version and the HD
version of the game are on sale, which may be confusing to some folks.
The game launched on iPhone before the iPad existed, then got a separate
iPad version. Last week, both versions were updated to be universal,
but the HD version is set to be removed from sale eventually so that
there's only the one universal version on the store – the HD version
only still exists so that people who bought that version get the
benefits of the universal app. This is a better, albeit more complicated
way of handling it, versus Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light which
just updated one version and left the other out in the cold.
