GTA IV Week: The Secrets

It's on sale today, so check out all the top secrets to look out for in the greatest game ever.

Mini-Games

There are tons of mini-games hidden away in GTA IV. Our favourites include darts, pool and the good old golf driving range. You can also visit the Videogeddon Arcade to try out a variety of mickey-taking arcade games, including old GTA favourite Go Go Space Monkey.

Ticker Alert

Fleeing the crime scene unseen is even more difficult now; rob a bank or murder a crime boss and the news tickers in Star Junction (Liberty City's answer to Times Square) will tell the world about it - along with descriptions of you.

Any phone number you find in Liberty City, whether it's on a street sign or scribbled on a wall, can be phoned for aid and sometimes to unlock secrets.

Oldschool maps

References to old GTA cities San Andreas and Vice City are all over GTA IV; promotional shots for the old locales can be found in bar posters and ad signs next to the Liberty City tramway.

Funfair

Recreations of the NY World Fair as well as theme park Astroland are recreated in their entirety. This means virtual rides such as the Corpse Ride and Cyclone are waiting for Niko to test them - they'll even play part in some thrill-filled missions.

Ricky Gervais is in it

Flick through the channels on the TV in your safe house, and you'll stumble across a GTA version of Ricky Gervais doing his Politics stand-up show. Sadly, you can't shotgun him in the face.
