Grand Theft Auto IV (PC Gaming)

With Grand Theft Auto IV, the infamous badboy of the video game world celebrates its tenth anniversary and 11th overall incarnation. The controversy has already begun as the king of free-roaming action games makes its way to the PlayStation 3.

In this chapter, the player takes the role of Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant who comes to Liberty City (a thinly veiled New York City) in pursuit of the American Dream. He finds his shifty cousin Roman in trouble with money lenders, and desperately in need of support.

GTA4 includes a selection of multiplayer options, including a co-operative mode, and features original music composed by none other than Philip Glass.
