I warn you now that this could be a very controversial subject; for one thing GTA IV is awesome, so don’t get me wrong when you read this article. I am not here to say no other GTA game is better than GTA 3 due to the fact they all have their merits, but I always got back to GTA 3 and this is why. Back in the mythical time of 2001, I went around one of my friends’ houses [...]
For a long time I have been in love with the Grand Theft Auto series, and in my opinion it is the best of the sandbox genre. Even though you are a normal human being with no super powers, crazy wall climbing or free running skills, you do have a whole city and an exceptional variety of vehicles and weapons to play with.

I remember spending the whole night i was their just running around killing people, running from the police and squashing everyone in a vast array of cars. For me GTA 3 was the best game ever.

As you can probably tell from my Last Post I have been thinking a lot about what genres i like in gaming. We all pretty much know now that i am all about the FPS and Hack ad slash games.
