I have to thank Vice City for a lot of things. Countless hours of fun, an engrossing story, a fascinating look at 80s culture, a finely crafted world. But perhaps most of all, for igniting my love affair with Iron Maiden. V-Rock, 2 Minutes to Midnight. The second the song's opening guitar riff begun, I was captivated.
