What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.
As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.
In 1997 Scottish games developer DMA Design released the first Grand Theft Auto on PC and PlayStation. A top-down, free-roaming crime-em up, GTA gained controversy and acclaim in equal amounts for its violent gangster gameplay, car-jacking focus and superbly risqué soundtrack.
A decade later, the now renamed Rockstar Games is responsible for changing the face of gaming. PS2 Grand Theft Auto III gave gamers a fully 3D playground in which to explore, play, and affect utter mayhem, and each new GTA on PS2, Xbox and PSP has upped the size, scale, style and sheer attitude, cementing the series as one of the iconic gaming brands of its time.
Now Rockstar return with the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV on PC, bringing the smash hit game from PS3 and Xbox 360.

As other gamers have said, heavy gfx and Quads are a must... but better gfx than consoles with the hardware... online is great. |

Great game, runs much superior on a Quad Core, this game basically loves quad cores. You`l get more performance over a dual with a quad core. |

Good port. takes a while to get running and needs a heavy graphics card to run smoothly (better visuals than xbox if you have the hardware). |
