Once upon a time, hijacking virtual vehicles in three dimensions was only possible on a giant video game console. Starting today, you can do so on your tablet or smartphone. As promised, Grand Theft Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition just arrived on the iTunes App Store and Android Market for $4.99, and you can buy it right now. Just be prepared for a 400MB download before you can get your game on.

Crazy to think this whole game is now portable. Who the hell is going to have fun playing it though on a touchscreen? You better have an Xperia.

Why can’t iOS create an attachment that gives me physical buttons? This thing would be perfect for gaming if it had real BUTTONS

Are you new? After 4 years you still can’t figure out virtual buttons? Shocking.

How the hell did they get this game down to 400mb? Is all the music and radio chatter still there? Amazing.

Has anyone tried this on the xperia play yet? I know it isn’t officially supported. Its also an initial 18 Meg download which is massive for the plays pathetic memory.
