We’ve got a whole night of fun ahead of us, folks. We’re whipping outPrey(thank BlindsideDork for the awesome post title), because quite frankly, it has one of the coolest shotguns ever and the equally fun ability to walk on ceilings and walls.

SinceGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Warsfor the PSPwas announced, we’ve barely seen any screens or videos for the game.

The software reads the names of the hotspots and turns them into enemies which will try to take over your “wardive-cristal.” You’ll have to fend them off with your stylus.
