07/20/2010 Retro City Rampage parodies sandbox games, everything else If you're not familiar with Retro-City Rampage , you'll at least be familiar with the references contained within VBlank's WiiWare game.

You might, in fact, be more familiar with the PAX 10 winner than you think. Retro City Rampage began its life as Grand Theftendo, a faithful NES remake of Grand Theft Auto III, back in 2004. Since then, it's become less "faithful" and more "original," and it's moved from the NES to WiiWare, but creator Brian Provinciano has kept the irresistible central idea of a GTAPlaying in the style rendered with NES-style images.
