It wasn't during any special cut-scene or mission, but I remember during one game session being chased by the cops, evading them until I hit a jump, the game went into slow-motion mode, and explosions all around. I remember thinking just how far video games had come in that moment. Where I could live out live action movies as my own character. GTA 3 was pretty groundbreaking. But I think that moment in GTA 4 really opened up my mind to what video games could be.

GTA IV was the first game I ever took the time to go through and get 100% completion on. As it happens, a couple of weeks after I hit 100%, I went to NYC for the first time. Even though the map isn't 100% accurate, I was actually able to navigate my way around the real city because I was so familiar with the city in the game.
That kind of blew my mind.
