“Life is complicated. I killed people. Smuggled people. Sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different.”

Grand Theft Auto IV’s protagonist, Niko Bellic, travelled to Liberty City in order to live the “American Dream,” where allegedly money and women come easy. Niko hails from an unspecified Eastern European country, which he recently departed after landing himself in hot water with the local gangs. Niko - unshaven, in his mid-thirties and sporting a cheap tracksuit - was enticed by his cousin Roman to try life in America. He claimed to be living with two women, four hot tubs and fifteen sport cars - a lifestyle which very much appealed to Niko - and so with things not working out back home, he packed his belongings and soon became America’s latest immigrant. Upon arrival, Niko discovers that his cousin’s claims were far from the truth, and he finds himself drawn into Roman’s (seemingly endless) list of personal problems.
