first of all, i dont care about iphone or mobile.

now:
where's the fighting games' category?? oh i know! they didn't create it because only the psp has those kind of games.

the same goes for Racing Games. Mario kart is incredible, i admit it. But, c'mon!

but the winners are ok, i mean, they deserved it (except for best developer, i think Square Enix should have won because of all they efforts on the handheld market -TWEWY, Dissidia-

I only played the GTA: Chinatown Wars for 10 minutes. It sucked.

When will we get the "First Person View" on "First Person Shooters"?

It's like driving games where you see the car you are driving out in front of you. I don't drive from a position hovering behind my car.

I have the DS and PSP version and yea, when I first played the DS one I was blown away. Still addicted to it too. The PSP one was nice for those seldom few who don't have DS'. The iPhone one was terrible, I don't own but I played my girlfriends copy. The controls were horrible.

im not saying that chinatown wars was bad (mostly because i couldnt even make a game for the psp). im just saying that it was a huge dissapointment. they waisted so much potential the psp has and they ive that piece of s*it a 9.5 making it the "best psp game ever" which we all know it is not. i was a little pissed of that they would pass of ds graphics for a psp game after the miracles they had done with liberty and vice city stories. with acceptional 3d graphics that kicked the ds ass. i was hoping they would turn chinatown wars into a 3D game but i guess the devs didnt want more money. because when i played it i fluhed that blockbuster rental umd disc down my toilet and when the told me to pay them i said im doing you guys a favor so suck it bitch!

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars maybe fun for a little while, but after that it's boring. And the rating from GS.. Thats ridiculous. Reviewers there should change their jobs. That c**p best psp game, yeah right. If it was the only game in the world.
