Grand Theft Auto III Now Available for Android Tablets and iPad

For all you Grand Theft Auto fans out there, Rockstar is celebrating its jump into open world 3D gaming by releasing a version of the sandbox game for mobile devices. 

Grand Theft Auto III is available now on Android-based devices, as well as those running on the iOS platforms, including the iPad. Tablet owners can find the game on the Android Market and iTunes, and will only have to shell out $5 for a trip down memory lane. Though be sure your device is compatible to run the game before you get ready to terrorize Liberty City. Grand Theft Auto III works on the Acer Iconia, ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba Thrive and both generations of Apple iPad. 

Game play and controls are now touch panel optimized, allowing owners of the Logitech Joystick to finally get use of that accessory. Additionally, the game also supports “select” USB gamepads on Android. 

TabletPCReview will have a full review this weekend.
