The DeanBeat: What will be gaming’s best title: GTA V or Infinity Blade III?

In the console war, the PlayStation 4 will go head to head with the Xbox One in November. But before that, we’ll see a very different kind of competition across platforms. Grand Theft Auto V debuts on the consoles on Sept. 17. Apple’s iPhone 5S ships on Sept. 20, with Infinity Blade III (pictured at top) shipping on Sept. 18. And the competition between the two will tell us a lot about the changing nature of the gaming landscape.

Grand Theft Auto V is a huge open world where you can live out criminal fantasies and build a underworld empire. It will be played on consoles on the big screen in a living room. With Infinity Blade III, you can hack away at beautiful dragons by swiping your fingers on a relatively tiny 4-inch iPhone 5S touchscreen.
