    It's out on Android, so does that mean it'll be available on the PlayBook when OS 2.0 officially drops?
    Is it already available via sideloading?

    not sure, but it sounds great! I'd even settle for GTA 2.0, you know the version where the camera angles down from the top down?

    I've watched a few videos of gameplay, it looks awesome!
    I know what you mean too, I haven't played that kind of GTA in a long time! I really hope they make it compatible

    I played on my friend's ipad...the game is pathetic by today's standard, the graphic is worse than GTA3 on my pc 10 years ago...seriously, if people want quality game, please go buy a dedicated game console or a nice alienware...it's 1000X better than tablet

    I know what you mean, they're also quite awful to play but there's some kind of attraction to gaming on a tablet/mobile device that I haven't quite worked out yet

    GTA 3 or 4 would be great games on the pb...especially since games like Machinarium and Angry Birds look so good on it

    this isnt gta, but comparing the sims 3 between the computer and my 9900 and ipod touch, the computer version is clearly the better choice. tablets arent made for hardcore gaming. the only really good console game on the playbook is the built in need for speed

    I'm not overly impressed with NFS, seems too gimmicky for me
    I'm not after anything hardcore, just some light action for train journeys etc, so hopefully OS 2.0 will bring a lot more to the table to keep my fingers busy!

    I don't think anyone expects console like games on the PB. The controls on a touch screen simply DO NOT allow gameplay as complex as a console. That being said tablet are powerful and offer FANTASTIC game play opportunities. Portability is also a very compelling argument for tablets.

    I have been a gamer for decades! The emus available for PB allow me to play perfect replicas of many of those games. Consoles do not have a monopoly on good games.

    I can't speak for the iPad, but on Android it is a 1:1 copy of what is on the PC. In fact, all the game files are identical and you can even use your old PC mods on it. They just recompiled for ARM.
    And yes, the graphics are just as good if not better than they were on PC 10 years ago.

    On my Android tablet I can use wiimotes, PS3 controllers, xbox controllers, you name it! So yes, you can play console game ports and emulated console games just fine.

    GTA3 on Android with a PS3 controller:
    I've been waiting for PB to get external controller support. Until that comes the tablet alone simply cannot recreate the complexity that the physical controller allows.

    On my Android tablet I can use wiimotes, PS3 controllers, xbox controllers, you name it, just have an Android Tablet and about $60! So yes, you can play console game ports and emulated console games just fine.
    Fixed that for you.

    External controller support has been in Playbook since 2.0. The API just isn't being used.

    About the $60, well you wanted physical controls. They didn't come with your tablet, so yes you'd pay for them. It's actually around $20 but it does depend on the controller you want.
