The GTA series have long been a favourite of mine. The first classic top down version was a pretty good game but from GTA 3 it was a revolution. The storytelling was great, the actors good, the world was unlike anything I had seen before and just the concept of having the music in the game come from radio stations in the cars was fantastic. It combined to create a gaming experience unlike anything I had ever seen before.
I played GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas (my overall favourite in the series) and really enjoyed the references to tv-shows, movies and othr pop culture. I could spend hours just roaming around in the big world that hosued Los Santos, San Fiero and Las Venturas along with a bunch of smaller towns in the country side.
I hade huge expectations for GTA IV and I wasn't disappointed. I think the story was good thou a bit dark but I know people from eastern europe that has been trough about the same as the games character so that struck a chord with me.
Now I can hardly wait for GTA V to be released. Featuring 3 main characters I think it has the posibility of being the best one so far. And the graphics are stunning.
I'll probably buy one of the limited editions:
Grand Theft Auto V Special Editions Unveiled - IGN
I especially like the one where you get a ballcap. I think things like that are pretty neat when you buy games.
