Developer Rockstar has announced that they are bringing a port of the popular Nintendo DS title Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to the iPhone/iPod touch. Players will take up the role of Huang Lee, a Triads gang member who travels to Liberty City after the suspicious death of his father.

The gameplay of this port will resemble the style of the first two GTA games, which is driving, shooting, and running around with a top-down perspective. Chinatown Wars does add a series of mini-games, the main purpose of which is to increase storytelling through 2D panel art.

There is no price announced for the iPhone/iPod touch port of the popular DS game. 

Rockstar is also releasing an iPhone/iPod touch port of Beaterator, which allows players to create their own music by using samples from Rockstar and famous producer, Timbaland. It is claimed to contain "thousands" of sounds and loops, all packaged in a nice and simple UI. Players can even create their own songs with vocal inserts as well as use the provided song templates. Again, there is no price announced yet.
