27. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

Publisher: Rockstar Games
Developer: Rockstar Leeds
Released: October
Primary platform: PSP
Crime pays big dividends here, as Rockstar thought to add an absolutely fine criminal empire-building mechanic into Vice City Stories. And when protagonist Vic Vance was done bribing cops, setting up brothels, and whacking people, he could explore his sensitive side, escorting tourists on sight-seeing trips and rescuing drowning swimmers. Six goodfellas in multiplayer games via WiFi play was criminally good fun, too.
