If I load all that up tonight any recommendations on which game to start with?

GTA III would probably be a little dated now, and it doesn't have things like motorcycles. But I play it once in a while because it was just innovative and had some pretty cool missions (sniping bad guys while your buddy runs through them with a bomb to plant on a floating drug factory). The main character is the typical man with no name who doesn't say a thing, and you actually don't learn his name until he pops up in GTA San Andreas. You can fly a plane in GTA III but its impossible to control.
Vice City was probably one of the best games in the series, but it had some insanely impossible missions like using a remote control toy helicopter to plant bombs in a building. The setting really sets it apart as it takes place in the 80's, and the main character that you play is a non redeemable psychopath. Again you run into characters that show up in San Andreas.
In terms of sheer scope and story line San Andreas is the best of the bunch, its a massive game world with three cities plus a bunch of little towns that you can explore. This game is all about character development, as your character is a common street thug who hates drugs and has a good heart. The voice acting is amazing and features the late Chris Penn and Sam Jackson and an awesome James Woods as a shadowy CIA agent. There are some exceedingly tough missions but non that aren't beatable the first time around, its the sheer number of missions that makes SA a great value.
If I was going to play them again, I would do what I'm doing now, I played San Andreas first, then I'll play Vice City then GTA III for fun.
