Missed this bit of news last week, but it is worthy to note that iPad owners now have access to a Grand Theft Auto game with Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD.

Playing catch up with the news, I missed this gem from last week.  Rockstar Games is making sweet-sweet love to Apple's platforms with Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars making the leap from Nintendo DS to Sony PSP to Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch and now to the iPad with a HD version.

From a few days ago - Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD is now available on the App Store.  The critically acclaimed title brings the intense, story-driven action to the iPad with updated, high-definition graphics.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD is the latest game in the ground-breaking Grand Theft Auto series.  The handheld title marries the best gameplay elements of the Grand Theft Auto series and offers deep, fast-paced adventures with intuitive touch screen controls to gamers-on-the-go.  Featuring more than 50 missions and countless side activities, the title follows the tale of Huang Lee as he navigates the dangerous criminal underground of Liberty City.  Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars HD also includes Independence FM, an innovative way to customize the soundtrack using music from your iTunes library.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars garnered rave reviews from top critics, becoming the highest-rated handheld title of this console generation.
