Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas: The best-selling video
game of 2004, thanks to its gang
warfare, drugs, murder, prostitutes,
fast cars, and thumping
hip-hop soundtrack.

Mortal Kombat: Deception
Gory, intense 3-D martial-arts
game loved for its blood-spurting

complex play.

institution, now on its 15th

Need for Speed: Underground
2 It doesn't get any
