This isn't exactly big news but perhaps some people haven't stumbled across it. On rockstartgames.com they offer full free downloads of the PC versions Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2 (originally made for PC: Thanks DABhand). Fun games IMO, Kinda nostalgia enducing if you played them way back when. Anyway the DLs are a bit long but their servers are fast..
The only catch is you have to fill out some of your details in exchange to download. There isn't a follow up confirmation email or anything so I don't think it matters what you type in the boxes.
