The plot and setting of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was stolen from Scarface to an amazing degree. Since I’d never seen Scarface before but played GTA:VC extensively, the movie reminds me of the game instead of the other way around.
UPDATE: this site has a couple of good examples, some that I didn’t even pick up on.

The last line of that link is somewhat prophetic:
“All things considered, though, Grand Theft Auto Double Pack is probably the closest gamers will get to living out their Scarface fantasies!
Given that there is now a game called Scarface.

joh3n: did you notice the scarface connection when you played VC? There were some really cool instances not mentioned in that article even. Frigging awesome.

Yeah, I noticed the connection, but only because TNT plays Scarface like 4 times a month. I didnt know about the secret bathroom though, that was pretty cool.
