Grand Theft Auto 3 hits Mac App Store

Ten years following its release on PS2, Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA III) has finally made it to the Mac App Store.

GTA III has had a long arc. Released on PS2 back in October 2001, then for Windows in May 2002, then Xbox in November 2003. Then there was a long wait until it became available for Mac OS X in November 2010. Now, ten years since the original release, the game finally makes its way to the Mac App Store.

The game description on the Mac App Store comes makes it seem pretty tame, especially if you’refamiliar with the title:

Crime does pay.

The hugely successful, highly controversial Grand Theft Auto franchise moves into three dimensions in the dark and seedy underworld of Liberty City.

With the freedom to go anywhere and jack anyone, Grand Theft Auto III puts the dark, intriguing and ruthless world of crime at your fingertips, if you have enough guts to take it.

The game is $14.99 and a 705MB download. Your chance to grab a bit of history.
