GameFocus
- Excerpt: I remember being at the Nintendo E3 2008 press conference when they announced the arrival of the GTA franchise to the Nintendo DS…it had to happen one day knowing how popular the lovely handheld from Nintendo had become among grown-ups.

The series has been a success spawning numerous portable and console games and continues to attract gamers of all ages.
