    Awesome. Now I can play GTA: Chinatown while in traffic! And at stop signs! And red lights!

    Wait, I have a Blackberry Storm. Nevermind. Y'all are safe. I'll just play with my level program. And my calculator.

    @engineerd: Do they have a GTech Pro program for the Storm? That's pretty fun to play with. Even if it did show me how badly my car needs work...

    So are you liking your Storm? My buddy has one, and he declared it the worst phone ever. Also, the SatanPhone. It didn't seem that bad to me, but he hates his.

    Oh great. Just what I need, more ways to be addicted to the iPhone.

    I had to buy more chargers just for Civ: Revolutions. It kept killing my battery life, so I bought a few sets of chargers that I could keep with me at all times. That way I could plug it in when I was half-way through a game and running on "20% battery life remaining".

    And don't get me started on Paper Toss!

    Fortunately, I'm not a huge GTA fan, so I might be able to escape this.

    @Joshman Lesmo: Paper Toss is appallingly simple... but SO addictive. Flick a paper ball at a garbage can. That's the whole game. You don't expect it should be fun... then it's suddenly two hours later and you're wondering where the time went.

    @Ash78: Oh, the hours wasted jumping the bridge, crushing cars with the tank, and causing all manner of havoc with those RC car bombs... Judging by the screenshot with 31 ignored text messages in the interest of testing out the flame-thrower this version will be just as addictive as the originals.

    @Ash78: Not so quickly forgotten! (Well, maybe GTA 2). I was playing GTA 1 for years after it fell out of favour. In fact, I recall there being a free version to play on the web somewhere but this was a long time ago.

    @Dhillaz 2.0: GTA (that's what we called it when there wasn't an II) came out when I was in college and we did not yet know who invented the internet... It was a whole new world for a naive small town kid with little money, I was not aware that there was a time when this game was not free. ;)

    This sense of generic supercar appearance is why we have coachbuilders. I mean, the Mantide is definitely not pedestrian (although it's not desperately pretty either)

    I like it. Sure, its bland and looks like Toyota made an attempt at a supercar. However, that's the amazing part. It is exactly what I would draw in the margins of my notes in high school. Sort of a combination of many great supercars into one, boring body.


    Why is this a good thing? You don't get noticed. Leave the Ferraris and Lambos to guys who have to compensate. Give me this alcoholic supercar so I can go 110 mph on the interstate and not be noticed.
