9. Three Leaf Clover - Grand Theft Auto IV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC6IXmAixGE Unquestionably the best and most-hyped mission in Rockstar's brilliant Grand Theft Auto IV, Three Leaf Clover is a not so subtle homage to Michael Mann's bank heist sequence from his classic film noir Heat, essentially allowing you to play through an extremely similar scenario in thrilling style. Once the robbery takes place, the police promptly show up, forcing you into an exhilarating gunfight through the streets of Liberty City. Navigating the back-roads of the city, you're able to slip into a train station, though again you're cornered by the cops, and must persevere with gunfire. Even when you emerge through the other side, you're not quite out of the woods yet; you have to commandeer a car and make it to the safe house. Though the mission took most a few tries to plough through, it's a mission I for one certainly didn't mind playing a few times over.
