GTA Chinatown Wars (Original Release: 2009, Nintendo DS)

Best: Selling Drugs: Yes, I know it’s weird to praise the ability to buy and sell drugs, never mind posing it as the highlight of an entire game. But like…it’s really good. Seriously, I had so much fun selling drugs around Liberty City in this top-down prequel to GTA IV. Having to drive around the city, finding the lowest prices on meth, and then trying to get across town to sell where demand was highest, was a blast. And you never knew if a deal was real or a police ambush, making every successful deal that much sweeter.

Worst: The DS Version: Today, it’s easy to play Chinatown Wars on iOS or Android and it looks great, featuring more music and HD visuals. But back at launch, it was only on the Nintendo DS and it wasn’t nearly as good due to hardware limitations. This first version had fewer songs, and blurrier graphics and didn’t run great at times. Later ports fix all of this and add more content.
