Brutal DS action in Liberty City

After the huge success of GTA 4, the guys at Rockstar wanted to make a GTA on the DS, and it is one of the greatest if not the best, DS game. The game starts with your character Huang flying by plane… Read more

Great use of the DS, good fun and a bad story

What I really liked about the game was that for the first time in a long while it felt like a full blown original game on the system. Most other games either boil down to simple puzzle mini-game stuff… Read more
