Grand Theft Auto III is a landmark game, one of the first hot topic video games of the past decade, getting banned from Walmart when released. It was also one of the first open world 3D games, as well, making waves in and influencing the game design industry for years to come. The mobile 10th Anniversary Edition for Android and iOS was released in December of 2011 at a $4.99 price point.

Today, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of sequel Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Rockstar Games has dropped the price to $0.99 across Google Play and the iTunes App Store, making this well-regarded game all the more easy to purchase. It’s only available for a limited time, though, so get it while the gettin’s good.

We simply love wallpapers. They’re one of the first changes we make to our Android devices and often represent our moods, interests, or wicked alter egos. They’re as unique as the individuals who use them and while some people pick one and stick with it, others change them more often than a teenager’s Facebook status. Each day we’re going to feature a free wallpaper for you to download and use on your Android device. Depending on your device, you may want to use your favorite photo editing software to resize the image for a better fit. Once that’s done, apply and enjoy. Your home screen can thank us later. Cheers!

[Update: I’m sad to report our Pumpkin Carving Contest has been cancelled due to lack of participation. We’ll just have to think of something a bit less challenging next time.]

As Halloween approaches, some of us will be ghouling up our houses with spider webs, corpse limbs, and the quintessential carved pumpkin. Since we love Android, and we’re pretty sure you do too, we thought it’d be cool to combine the fun of Halloween pumpkin carving with our affinity for Android. Before I get into details, let me just say this will be all about fun, so don’t worry if you’re not the most skilled pumpkin carver.

Want to know why Apple doesn’t use NFC? Because no one at Apple has as cool a wife as the one in Samsung’s latest Galaxy S III commercial. Samsung shows off the spicy side of their S-Beam feature (you know, “that thing”), which uses NFC and Wi-Fi Direct to “beam” content between compatible devices.

Okay, so the Nexus 10 was probably the most mysterious of the 3 Nexus devices being announced on October 29th. Now… not so much. The guys over at Brief Mobile managed to paparazzi this finger-smudged 10-inch fugly device and give us the skinny on what to expect. Aesthetically, I’m very disappointed in the device, however, the specs and rumored pricing are very attractive and we all know it’s what’s on the inside that counts… right?
