Grand Theft Auto: How it started and where it ended up

With huge opening numbers, Grand Theft Auto V has launched towards resounding success. This isn’t just another chapter in a popular video game series. It’s the next incarnation, a complete re-imagining of what can be put into a GTA game.

If you already have the game, you won’t even need to watch the second video, a compilation of pre-launch trailers and commentaries. Oh, who are we kidding.
