Rockstar's mega-selling GTA V tops our all-time excitement list from the last 33 monthly Harris Buzz reports.
We regularly include the latest video games in our series of Harris Buzz reports - it's never an exhaustive measure of what's been released but we do our best to include the latest and greatest. And all the games are measured as close to the release date as possible.
The table below shows all the games (and gaming news) we've included over the last 3 years.
Due for release later this month, the next issue of Buzz includes Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4. Will these topple GTA V from the top of the list?
