Redonculous Videos of the Week: Car Crush

A short but sweet online video demonstrating what happens to players who are standing in the path of a rolling vehicle.  Hilarity ensues as a player is steam rolled by a run away airborne car.  The end result just looks painful no matter how you slice it.

Play Like a Pro: Diving Out of a Vehicle

Diving from a vehicle is a handy tool should you ever inconveniently realize that your car is on fire, with 4 cops chasing you. Turn it into a rolling bomb by gaining speed and pressing triangle. Be warned however as the faster the vehicle is traveling, the more likely it is that Niko will take damage when he bails out.

Once Niko has dove out of a vehicle he will be “injured” on the ground.  If you press X repeatedly you can get Niko up faster  – a handy technique to know if you’ve got 20 cops about to surround you…

Redonculous Videos of the Week: One Man Army Achievement

This video will demonstrate how you can get the “one man army achievement” with minimal hassle and relative ease.  Simply do exactly as the video instructs you to, and you will unlock the achievement.  Keep in mind that you must do this technique before you gain access to all of Liberty City, as this video method relies on gaining an instant 6 star wanted level by crossing the bridge barricade before you are supposed to.

NOTE: Only the XBOX 360 version of GTA 4 has an achievement system at this point in time.

How to Use Cheats in GTA IV

The cheat system in GTA IV is done through the cellphone. By calling various telephone numbers you will receive different effects such as health and armor, guns and ammo and many more. Once you have input a cheat, a new menu within the cellphone will become available called “Cheats.” Take note that all GTA IV cheats have the second line of digits 555 in them. For example the cheat for full health and ammo is “362 555 0100.”

If you want to reuse a cheat – simply go to the cheat menu and select the cheat you wish to use. Keep in mind that whenever Niko is taking damage and the cellphone menu is active, it will cause him to automatically put away the cellphone.

*Remember, using cheats in GTA IV may disable certain achievements within the game, and you should not save your game if you wish to unlock them.*

Redonculous Videos of the Week: Bloopers, Stunts and Silliness

Every once in awhile we come across a very special GTA IV video on Youtube that makes us laugh. This video is chocked full of silliness and general mayhem. Worth watching to the very end, there are some pretty funny random moments and glitches to enjoy.

WATCH IT! BE GENETICALLY DIFFERENT!!

Redonculous Videos of the Week: The Rocket Jump

Any gamer who has played TF2 or any of the Team Fortress games is familiar with the iconic, albeit slightly ridiculous rocket jump.  This video will prove to the GTA fans out there that Niko can rocket jump with the best of them!  Watch as Niko climbs a bus shelter and RPGs himself onto a nearby roof!

Tips and Tricks: The Stoppie

To perform a stoppie, you must first acquire a motorcycle, or a scooter (scooter stoppies!)

Gain some speed on the motorcycle/scooter and then hold down the brake (L2) button while holding the left analog stick forward.  The end result will lift the back end of the bike into the air, while you slide or stop on the front tire.

Redonculous Video of the Week: Battle Royale Atop the Statue of Happiness

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!  Two players go at it online atop the Statue of Happiness in a battle to end all battles!  Little bit of showboating at the end by the victor as his foe plummets to the street below.

Did you know?

Smashing a fire hydrant with a car in GTA IV will cause a powerful water geyser to form. If you run into the geyser Niko will be spent sprawling, and take some damage. Not exactly game breaking information, but very funny nonetheless.

Redonculous Video of the Week: Swimming in the Street

Have you ever wondered what it would look like to see a player swimming up and down a street? (I know I have!)  Well ponder no more!  This youtube video demonstrates just how hilarious, and redonculous a good GTA IV glitch can be in multiplayer.
