25 PlayStation Games You Must Play Before You're 25

22. Gran Turismo

Talk about your iconic franchises.

In recent years, Microsoft and Turn 10's Forza series would slowly eclipse Gran Turismo as the go-to petrolhead's game of choice, but you can't deny the original GT's brand power.

Both Gran Turismo 1, 2 and 3 absolutely dominated the cultural spectrum, being the only game that came to mind for years upon years if you wanted anything vehicle-related. The original's handling system is still a joy to get to grips with, and its this core sensibility of ensuring each car genuinely felt unique and fun to drive, that keeps Gran Turismo from ever ageing out entirely.
