Grand Theft Auto III (GTA3)
First time I've had two guests on at once... But there's a reason I needed the extra help.
Grand Theft Auto III is one of those games that rearranged the entire video game industry around it. We got a taste of Liberty City in 2001 and suddenly every studio wanted an open world of their own — for a lot of us it's the line that splits the PS2 era into before and after. It's also the line that splits up most of video gaming as a whole into "before" and "after". It changed everything.
And I couldn't have asked for two better buds to get into it with than my friends Paul, The Gamersician, music producer and YouTuber, and Ryan of Retro Game Brews, one of the trio behind the Gamers Week Podcast. Both back for another round.
Join us as we dive into one of the most important video games of all-time and talk all about our memories of it and why it's so... well, you know.
