Something to keep in mind when choosing vehicles as that old pick-up will appear dull and abused while that shiny new sports car will cast a reflection so clear innocent bystanders will be able to see the horror on their own faces as they're being run

It's finally here and we're damn happy.

This review is not only late, but it?s also pointless?and both for the same reason. Rockstar did not submit advance copies of the Grand Theft Auto Double Pack so that a review could come out at the same time as the game. The company knows, as gamers do,

It's everything a videogame should be; innovative, compelling, challenging, long-lasting. And spiked with controversy and a wonderful wit, it's also something that so few videogames can ever be - cool.

I remember reading an article about RockStar games loyalty to the PS2. In it, RockStar stated that the GTA series would be exclusively for PS2 owners. Apparently, this little agreement had a time limit, and ran out.

How did Microsoft really get two of the biggest PS2 titles for the Xbox, I wonder? Did they smash away at a Sony employee’s car to show they mean business or did they leave a horse’s head in the bed of a Rockstar programmer just to prove a point?

You'll be laughing with delirious glee the minute you lay down 50 bucks and walk out of the store with two of the best console games ever made. Sure, they’re older. Sure, they already came out on the PS2 and the PC. Some people prefer GTA III; others

The best enhancement for high-end gamers, though, is progressive-scan support. If you've got an HDTV-compatible set, make sure your Xbox has 480p widescreen mode on -- in this mode, the Xbox ports are without the doubt the prettiest GTA experience you'll

In case you have been living under a rock for a few years, let me help. From Liberty City to Vice City you play a man to be reckoned with. A thug on the rise, and at times on the run, in the seedy underworld of crime is where you find yourself. Stealing

GTA Double Pack is a “desert island” type of game that you can play for ten minutes to ten hours, regardless of how long you’ve owned it.

The success of this title around the world took gamers by storm, and if that weren't enough, Take-Two Interactive expanded on this by releasing Rockstar Games' critically acclaimed GTA: Vice City. Now, one year after GTA: VC was released, the games have

It's really unlikely that you're reading this unaware of what GTA III or its sequel Vice City are all about. 3D updates of a classic top-down 2D game, these two virtually rewrote the rulebook on play area freedom and game engine flexibility. The

Maybe I didn't toll hard enough so I'll toll again: the Xbox is a fine platform for the next Grand Theft Auto to show up on.

That's probably just as well, for although I have no fear in saying that these games are among the best you could ever play, they are showing their age just a bit. The XBox versions of both games are effectively identical to the previous incarnations,

Right off the bat you won’t notice too many differences but as you put more hours into the game they’ll become apparent. New lighting effects give both the city and your vehicles a new sheen that was absent in the PS2 original and the subsequent PC

After playing the game for many hours, I realized why this game sold so many copies and won so many awards. Almost every aspect of the game is done to perfection.

Definitely for the over 18 crowd, GTAIII delivers a great gaming experience, and at a 2-for-1 price... well, it’s a stupendous dollars-to-gaming ratio.

It is possible for our review scores to vary from your opinion of the game. Let’s face it, a review is really just a more analyzed opinion. So if you think a game rocks, and we say it sucks, one of us is right. The fact is, a game’s appeal really

Xbox owners are now learning what all the fuss was about when PS2 owners’ lives were consumed by Grand Theft Auto 3, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Imagine the excitement that Halo being ported to the PlayStation 2 would cause, and you can picture

Grand Theft Auto: not only a phrase that refers to an actual crime, but also the title of a popular game series that, until now, was exclusive to the Playstation and PC platforms. With Rockstar's release of the Grand Theft Auto Double Pack, Xbox owners

The use of the Xbox hard drive is definitely an improvement to the overall GTA gaming experience. For one, you don’t have to use a memory card. Second, loading times have been drastically cut down. Thirdly, and my personal favorite, custom sound tracks.

The graphics in the game are absolutely breathtaking. The Xbox has made the graphics from Vice City 10 times better with the lighting effects and the sheer power of the Xbox. Everything looks so vibrant and awesome.

These are by far the best console versions of the games (and are arguably better than the PC version). People who have an XBox and haven’t picked these up yet for any other platform are in for a treat.
