Released in 2004 on Playstation and the next year on XBox and PC the game skirted with controversy with sexual content made available through the infamous "Hot Coffee"  mod which meant the ESRB reclassifying the games as AO (Adult only) instead of the original M (Mature). San Andreas is featuring again in Grand Theft Auto V. 

Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec

GT3 A-Spec still holds the record for the highest selling Gran Turismo game of all time having sold 14.89 million copies worldwide. As with number one on our list this game is seen as the best of its series matching its commercial success with critical acclaim. The creators, Polyphony Digital are renowned for their attention to detail and this game is no exception. Due to this there are only 180 cars featured due to the graphical work needed for each vehicle. Polyphony also partnered with Logitech to create a force feedback racing steering wheel specifically designed for the game. 

Gran Turismo 4

Number 3 on the list is GT4 which didn't quite meet the sales of its little brother. This edition sold 11.44 million units worldwide after its 2005 release. GT4 featured over 700 cars from 80 manufacturers and 51 tracks from all over the world. As with its predecessor this game met its commercial success with critical praise.
