If you were to ask the average gamer the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name 'Rockstar,' a vast majority of the time their first response will be 'Grand Theft Auto.' There wouldn't be anything wrong with that response: Since the release of Grand Theft Auto 3 to the masses, Rockstar has almost become synonymous with the series and things like violence, great open-world gameplay, and, in some cases, controversy.
