8. Grand Theft Auto III (PS2)
GTA was pretty infamous in its early top-down incarnations, but it didn't really have truly massive success until GTA III came around, with the shift in perspective and a full 3D city to explore. That change made a good franchise into a great one, and it cemented itself firmly as one of my all time favourites. Like any good GTA, it's just as fun cruising around the city causing as much chaos as possible, as it is playing through all of the missions.
