I think that Grand Theft Auto series of games have almost a cult like following of fans. Right here, the stores can't stock the games fast enough for the gamers. They are literally flying off the shelves.

Most of the game sites have gave it a maximum score. I think overall the series is really very good. Great plot and voice acting. Pity that it only runs on consoles now.
