Grand Theft Auto III (PC)

---Intro---- What do you get when you cross brutish behaviour, cold steel, no mercy, a horrible temper, and mistrust? That's right, your mother-in-law. But I'm not talking about her here (although she's a close second), I'm talking about Grand Theft Auto III. The crime game that makes you want to put down your spaghetti, grab your trusty baseball bat, and beat the living daylights out of your pain-in-the-hindquarters neighbour (and then drive off with his new Mercedes :)). Yes ladies and gentlemen, this game is one for the hall of fame.

If it were true that violent games, breed violent people ? then I would be considered to be Public Enemy No1 after playing this game for a long stretch. Beating people to death, shooting them, running them over and stealing cars are all just ways to progress in this game.
