"Both the DS and PSP versions of GTA Chinatown Wars have been well-received by gamers and critics alike"
Who cares? How was the iPhone game itself received? That's like saying the console versions of Assassin's Creed II were well received so you should go buy the crap DS version.

The iPhone version has been extremely well received since it is an upgraded version of both those ports.

This is actually nothing like saying buy the DS version of the console AC2 since in this case it is exactly the same game, albeit with a different control scheme.

I haven't played the PSP version but it's on par with the DS version in my opinion. Chinatown Wars looks much better, there's no annoying stylus switching, and you can have custom tracks! For 7 bucks you would be a monkey faced ninny to pass it up!

OF COURSE the above comes with the notion that you're ok with the touchscreen controls. By now I assume you're either ok with them or hate them with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. I personally think the controls are really good. I was initially turned off by the clunky driving mechanic but after about 30 or so minutes I was zipping about Liberty City.

So... I've never liked a GTA game that I've played. I find them all boring. Yet I am consistently mysteriously drawn to them because apparently I want to like them on some level.

So that all being said, if I've never liked a (3D) GTA game, what are the odds that I'd enjoy this one, seeing as it's so different? High? Low?

The latest iphone is a bit trendy. Cool gadget. Apparently, there's a new brand of hardware being sold in South Korea – the meat stylus for iPhone. It isn't what you think. Apparently, South Korea has been experiencing a brutally cold winter, and apparently, people decided to improvise and figure out a way to use their iPhone without freezing their fingers off. The snack food in question is Maekseubong sausages, similar to the cheap plastic wrapped bits of beef jerky, often found in gas stations for a buck, and using the plastic wrapped sausages as a stylus. Getting a few won't cost anyone thinking of the same thing enough to justify payday loans – just a few dollars – and you can use your iPhone in the cold!

$7!!! I just paid $40 for the PSP version!! Wow, that's a heck of a difference!

How are the controls? I can't imagine playing this with iPhone controls?
