Nico’s notepad

1-Go for a turkey shoot

The sniper rifle in GTA IV is dead accurate, but over great distances the delay increases, making shooting moving targets a tough job. Grab a bolt-action sniper, shoot a first round to make them panic and then start taking some peds down. In multiplayer, you can try killing more than your friend in a set amount of time.

2-Annoy everyone

When you bump in people, they often drop what they were holding. You can pick up these items and throw them back at their owners. After following pedestrians for a while, they get angry and will eventually want to fight you or run away.

3-Become the street ninja

Thanks to the improved combat system, hand-to-hand combat was made fun. You can even pull out some impressive combos after you dodged your opponent’s hit. The hotdog/nuts/burger stand owners will never leave without a fight. You can also get an achievement by beating ten people with your bare hands in under 4 minutes.

4-Intercept some calls

Sometimes people get phone calls and answer. This often yields to wicked phone conversations. I heard some hobos telling me something about his bananas when I bumped into him a few days ago.

5-Watch Niko watch TV.

When you unlock your second safehouse, you find a television set in your crappy appartment. Just stand by a sofa and press LB to watch TV. The selection is limited but the shows are hilarious.

6-Death from above

Once you unlocked the second island, you can take a cab to the Helitour. From there you can steal an helicopter and go anywhere in a few minutes. You can use them to land on the Statue of Happiness’ head and do #1 or try to chop down innocents with the rotor blades.

7-Racing alone

Try to cross the city as fast as you can without breaking your ride. This is pretty hard to deal with the traffic, the peds… and it’s even better in multiplayer free mode when you compete against a friend.

8-Big Bang

Take Niko to the star junction (where the traffic is huge) and try to pile up as many vehicle as you can then blow ‘em up. This is an achievement, by the way.

9-Trial biking

Grab a motorbike, preferably a Sanchez, and find the skatepark. It’s a great place to do some neat stunts, especially in multiplayer free mode. Here is a Youtube video showing you how to get there

10-On the good side of the law

By accessing a police computer, you can do the Most Wanted missions and let me tell you they are entertaining! There are also random Current Crime missions if you arrested everyone. Both will yield achievements, by the way.
