10 Videogame Holiday Destinations You Should Avoid

4. Liberty City - Grand Theft Auto IV

A huge, sprawling metropolis spread over four boroughs, Liberty City is the home to 15 million unlucky bastards. Not one for originality, Liberty City has gone to great lengths to replicate streets, buildings and tourist attractions of New York City, but managed to get away with it by giving them slightly different names. But anyway, who€™d honestly want to holiday in a city dubbed €˜The Worst Place in America€™? The city suffers greatly from organised crime, with daylight shootouts, car-jackings, murders, and punch-ups a regular occurrence. If that wasn€™t bad enough, some of the city€™s drivers are truly atrocious; jumping red lights, speeding, and running down pedestrians with little remorse. Despite a heavy-armed, trigger-happy police presence, a lot of the city€™s crimes go unresolved and many citizens are forced to take the law into their own hands. There are some positives though. Ricky Gervais and Katt Williams have permanent slots at a local comedy club, and you€™ll always get invited to go bowling, or play darts, or get drunk with your sad-sack cousin. But if you happen to bump into a shaven-headed, scruffy-looking Eastern European, avoid him, that guy€™s bad news. It€™s rumoured he can conceal baseball bats, pistols, shotguns, machine guns, multiple grenades, lit Molotov cocktails and a rocket launcher all under his jacket with total ease. You just don€™t want to mess with people like that.
