Original Story: Rockstar’s announced it’s bringing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

It was previously released on the Nintendo DS, with a release on the PSP due this autumn.

“Chinatown Wars is a perfect match for the iPhone and iPod touch. We are very excited to bring this incredibly ambitious version of Liberty City, with this level of detail and immersive gameplay on Apple’s new gaming platforms,” said Rockstar president, Sam Houser.

Meanwhile, Rockstar also announced it’s bringing Beaterator to the Apps store.

“The simple, pick-up-and-play nature of Beaterator lends itself so well to the Apple platforms. We are happy to deliver an application that allows for such unprecedented sharing and ease-of-use.”

It was also appearing on the PSP as an exclusive to the system, and is in fact due for release next month.

No dates yet on either apps.

Rockstar, in association with Timbaland, has announced that Beaterator will arrive on PSP and PSN September 29 and October 2 in North America and Europe, respectively.

“Beaterator is a very natural progression for us,” said Rock Star’s Sam Houser. “Music is incredibly important to us here at Rockstar, and we believe that there are many people out there who share that passion and will be excited about creating music of their own.”

“I’ve worked closely with Rockstar Games to make something completely unique,” said Timbaland. “Beaterator is like taking my music studio and turning it into a suite of tools anyone can use. We can’t wait to hear the beats people make and share with the world.”

The music sequencer and sampler has been available on the web since 2005 and features thousands of loops and sounds made by both Timbaland and Rockstar.
