Grand Theft Auto IV

Lavish presentation

As immigrant Niko Bellic, you chase the American dream through the gritty, living metropolis of Liberty City, only to sink deeper into crime and revenge. It tells a darker, more grounded story than earlier entries while keeping the series' sharp satire.

Grand Theft Auto III

Lots to discover

The landmark that took GTA into 3D: as a silent criminal you climb the underworld of grim Liberty City, stealing cars, running jobs for mob bosses and causing mayhem whenever you like. Satirical radio stations and the freedom of its open city made it the template for the entire sandbox genre.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Lots to discover

As Tommy Vercetti you rise from lackey to crime lord in a neon-soaked take on 1980s Miami, with sharp satire, a sprawling city to cause chaos in, and an iconic licensed radio soundtrack.

Far Cry 3

Lots to discover

An open tropical-island shooter where you liberate outposts by stealth or force, hunt wildlife to craft gear and grow your skills. It is anchored by a disturbing descent into madness and the unforgettable villain Vaas.

The Godfather

Dark, serious atmosphere

An open-world action game set in 1940s-50s New York where you rise through the Corleone family ranks by extorting businesses and taking over rival territory. Its film-faithful atmosphere and characters are the main draw.

True Crime: Streets of LA

Dark, serious atmosphere

A GTA-style open-world action game where you play a rogue cop in a recreated Los Angeles, mixing gunplay, martial arts and driving chases. Failed missions lead to branching story paths.

True Crime: New York City

Action-packed real-time combat

As a cop in a large recreation of New York, you shoot, brawl and drive through a crime story voiced by Hollywood actors. Playing as a straight or corrupt officer shifts missions and the story somewhat.

Mafia III

Dark, serious atmosphere

As Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay, you wage a revenge war against the mob in 1968's New Bordeaux and divide conquered districts among your lieutenants. Its gripping, unflinching story about racism and its iconic period soundtrack shine, even if the missions get repetitive.

The Getaway

Dark, serious atmosphere

A gritty gangster action game set in a faithfully recreated London, mixing third-person gunfights and car chases in a cinematic story inspired by British crime films.
