MMGN writes: Grand Theft Auto III, the first game in the genre-defining 'GTA' trilogy, is set to celebrate its 10th birthday on October 22. To celebrate, Rockstar Games is bringing a special Grand Theft Auto 3: 10 Year Anniversary edition of the game to mobile devices (be sure to check out GTA 3 being played on iPad 2).
The game's place among the classics is undoubted, introducing a generation of gamers to an all-new open world, one where freedom reigned more than any game world before it.
So just what made Rockstar's ageless gem so great?
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
In an exclusive interview with GTA BOOM, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij reveals how Rockstar North really operated and debunks one of GTA’s biggest myths.
With plenty of open world games to choose from on the PlayStation 2, narrowing down the list to just the 15 best is quite the difficult task.
Those games were pretty mid. In fact, I'm surprised they even put The Getaway: Black Monday. But they left out much better games like Way of the Samurai 1-2, Okami, Jak 2 or 3, Final Fantasy 12, Yakuza 1-2, or SSX 3.
