Grand Theft Auto 3, He-Man, The Bard’s Tale and more on this week’s top paid app charts

In tandem with Rockstar’s recent announcement of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for mobile, Grand Theft Auto 3 dropped in price to $0.99, which vaulted the open-world action adventurer to the No. 2 spot on the top paid iPhone apps chart, the No. 7 spot on iPad and the No. 10 spot on Android. Picked as an Editor’s Choice in the Apple App Store, newly released He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe debuted at the No. 8 position on iPhone and No. 3 position on iPad.

Action RPG The Bard’s Tale, developed by Inxile Entertainment, is on sale for $2.99, which moved the game up to the No. 20 spot on the top paid Android apps chart. The rest of the Android chart was very much the same as last week.
