Both iOS versions of Rockstar's epic beat-'em-up / driving sim Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars are hugely discounted, albeit for a limited time.

Anyone who has played a GTA game before on any platform will know what to expect on iPhone and iPad, with players hijacking cars, taking part in drive-by shootouts, and generally letting off steam in Liberty City in the most violent and aggressive way.

If you haven’t played this particular version, why the devil not? Its "excellent gameplay" and "creative scenarios that are as fresh as they are fun" contributed to its receiving a highly coveted Pocket Gamer Gold Award in early 2010.

At £1.99 / $2.99 / €2.39 on iPhone and iPad, this is the cheapest the game has ever been.

It’ll shoot back up to its regular price of £6.99 / $9.99 / €7.99 all too soon, so get on down to Chinatown now.
