Today is a very special day for GTA fans everywhere, Grand Theft Auto III has hit the age of ten years old today. We'd like to extend a very special thank you to the extremely dedicated folks at Rockstar North and Rockstar NYC for all the hard work they put into GTAIII and continue to put into the franchise in every single installment. Grand Theft Auto III changed the video game world forever, with games to this day still using it as a basis of what an open world game should be. We've embedded a number of Grand Theft Auto III related videos below that should put you in that nostalgic mood. If you get a sudden itch it replay the game, that's perfectly normal. If you for some reason still don't have the PC version, you can pick it up on Steam which is running a deal for $3.39.  Better yet, you pre-order L.A. Noire on Steam and receive Grand Theft Auto III completely free of charge...not to mention the 10% discount on L.A. Noire! If you have a special Grand Theft Auto III moment you'd like to share with everyone, shoot me an email at aj@rockstarwatch.net and I'll add them here.

Special moments? Damn the whole game was a huge special moment. Yea we had the first and second game in the series. But the third was a game that just absolutely took the series and all games in general in a new direction. A gritty story full of crime, but yet so many awesomely cool and funny moments to go with it. So much to do, and some things that hadn't been seen before. - Crazy Snake on Bully-Board
