Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Now on PSP

One of the most acclaimed and controversial game titles ever created has come to the PSP. Rockstar Games has just released "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories" for the ernormously popular Sony handheld videogame platform released earlier this year. For the PSP, Rockstar went one step better than just converting the Sony PlayStation console version of GTA. As the subtitle "Liberty City Stories" implies, this GTA is something a little different. It's a modified version of the game, both in terms of variation of content and tapping the potential of the PSP technology. The game is still set circa 1999 on the three islands of Liberty City, an urban cliche filled with warring tribes of organized crime. The action still revolves around the avenging gangster Tony Cipriani working all sides of the criminal underworld. Now that this violent and controversial mature-content title is available in a portable format, one wonders if playing such a game in in view of strangers (especialy those with children in tow) will spark hot-tempered public confrontations between GTA gamers and those who disapprove of the game. Culture war, anyone?
