Grand Theft Auto III Vice city?
Silly game awards messing it up.
It would be Vice City 4 if you wanted to put a number on it.

Disappointing, but not surprising. GTA games always get the awards because stupid people play them. The ones that don't want good games, and just want to kill people and pick up hookers =/. I think that the awards are hosted by celebs right? If they are, they they've probably got a PS2 because it's trendy. And they've heard the hype and 'glamour' of GTA and bought it. It's now the only game in their collection -.-;.

Don't agree with the best music choice, Zelda WW should have got that, luv the music on there

[Lee-yoshi]

The BATFA's for Games ceremony were hosted by Bill Bailey...a comic genius apparently! Woah, wotta A-List celebrity there!


P.S. Vice City isn't a sequel to GTA3, therefore it's still under the GTA3 title.
