10 Creepy Video Game Easter Eggs You Can't Explain

4. GTA IV - The Heart Of Lady Liberty

Grand Theft Auto is famous for its many easter eggs, with the games often being able to spawn infamous speculation about rumoured sightings and hidden secrets. However, most of them have a place in the world. Most of them have a backstory, or hidden newspapers that explain away the more interesting candidates. However, the heart of Lady Liberty remains as baffling today as when it was first discovered.

Flying to the statue in GTA IV with a helicopter, you can drop down to a normally inaccessible platform. Walking straight through a non-existent door, you find yourself inside and able to look up at a giant human heart that is chained in place and constantly beating.

Naturally, one would assume it to be some comment on society in some sort, hidden there by the developers as a subtle nod. But stumbling onto it without any knowledge of why, renders it incredibly creepy. Just why?

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
