IGN's Week of GTA III Features

[Chris]

In the past week there were many, mostly reflective, news articles published regarding GTA III. We didn't bother posting each one so as not to overload you. IGN's coverage was the most in-depth, they dedicated the week to celebrating Grand Theft Auto III - so here's a round-up of all the stuff they posted.

• How Grand Theft Auto III Carjacked Open World Games - Rockstar focused more than two decades of open world game design into a single classic. and left the industry a better place for it.
  
• The Game Industry Remembers Grand Theft Auto III - Leading lights from Bethesda, Insomniac, Valve and more celebrate GTA III's tenth anniversary.
  
• Dan Houser Talks Grand Theft Auto III - In a rare interview, Rockstar's Dan Houser reveals the stories behind the making of GTA III and his personal experience of the controversies that followed...
  
• How Grand Theft Auto III Delighted a Generation - Rockstar chief tells IGN how GTA III was initially misunderstood and "utterly ignored".
  
• GTA 3: Liberty City Radio Set the Bar - Grand Theft Auto III's soundtrack legacy lives on.
  
• GTA III's Best Easter Eggs - Ten years later, we look at some of Liberty City's best kept secrets.

The Dan Houser interview is a particularly nice feature, though he doesn't exactly reveal much on the future of the series. If you feel like a nice trip down memory lane after getting all nostalgic over the past few weeks, check them all out, especially if you have some free time. They're all good reads.

You can't spell ignorance without IGN, but I might force myself to read this stuff at some point. Hopefully it's not as near-sighted as any of their other 'journalism'.

Lol. Well I'm not exactly a massive fan of IGN but can't say they're the worst videogame journalists out there. These are mostly opinion pieces and reflective looks back on the game though, not so much review or preview territory here.

IGN are not that bad, worst being the Eurogamer.

anyway, its great to see a videogame reviewing site to celebrate the GTA III week

In a mailing to Rockstar Leeds, I suggested a PSVita version of GTA 3 HD proper, rather then Liberty City on the main consoles, that way we can get the much needed facelift, without waiting for the Mod community to only half-address it, using the SA Rage mods, Still in beta, still very much work in progress
