14 DAY TRIAL // Among creating absolutely great games, Rockstar really know how to market their products. Combine these two (just these, for the moment) and you'll understand why Grand Theft Auto IV is going to be such a big hit - as everybody predicts. But fuel has to be constantly added to the fire, and that is exactly what we have now - huge amounts of fuel, to be more precise.
We're talking about the leaked GTA IV achievement list that leaked on xbox360fanboy.com, then it was further updated by xbox360achievements.org who got the descriptions for them, too. So, a final warning: obviously, the list contains spoilers, so if you would like to discover all the GTA IV secrets after the game is released, you should just skip this one. Everybody else, feel free to read it and enjoy (there are some absolutely great achievement names - that kind of stuff that will make you wish the game was already released):
