With Grand Theft Auto IV released, the news has died down but don't think we're going away! Infact, with E3 came news of a brand new GTA game coming out called "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars".

This new GTA game will be released exclusively for the Nintendo DS and will be available by the end of the year. Chinatown Wars has been confirmed to take place in actual modern-day Libery City (like IV!) and will use some of the DS technology, such as the touch screen and with the WiFi logo on the official site, some online content as well.

The new DS title is being developed by Rockstar Leeds, who made the other portable Grand Theft Auto Games, Liberty and Vice City Stories.
