Grand Theft Auto IV/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• Every Grand Theft Auto game includes copious amounts of driving on the wrong side of the street, but Niko actually has an excuse! He's the first Grand Theft Auto protagonist from a different country of origin from the game setting... obviously in whatever "old country" Niko is from, they normally drive on the left side of the street!
• At the end of the game, protagonist Niko's cousin or girlfriend (depending on your choices) got shot, he's unemployed having left a life of crime behind him, in an unfamiliar place. All you can do is drive around aimlessly doing the odd little thing here and there, but after that there's nothing else. That's PRECISELY what Niko's life would be like in the same situation: empty, pointless.

Fridge Logic

• Okay, so wait. If Kate dies, then Packie doesn't come with you for revenge?
  • Well, somebody needs to take care of Ma.
• The song "New York Groove" plays on the radio, even though Liberty City is an obvious Expy for New York.
