We imagine many of you are probably suffering Grand Theft Auto IV withdrawal, having rushed through the main campaign only to learn that Niko Bellic is, in fact, the great-grandfather of both Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance. Luckily for you, we've got a great way to comfort yourself: Letting the music of the notorious hooker beater Niko soothe your savage craving.You can hear it right now on the MySpace page of voice actor Michael Hollick, the man who lent his larynx to Rockstar for GTA IV's lead. We'd suggest "Out of the Blue" to really complete the Niko crooning vibe. Just don't blame us when you can't take him quite as seriously when he's mowing down pedestrians.

I wonder if they ever go bowling together. Or drinking. Strip clubs?

I think they're trying to be silly by slipping in a fake spoiler.

Life is complicated; I killed people... smuggled people... sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different. I started singing

Good for him, he gave an awesome performance in that game. The final hour had me at the edge of my seat and his work was a great part of that.

Why, just why?

He kinda looks like Niko in a weird way.
Henry @ May 20th 2008 7:03PM
Yeah in a wierd 'not at all' way...
Demaar @ May 20th 2008 7:04PM
Niko doesn't beat on hookers! Slander, I say!
Dracard @ May 20th 2008 7:40PM
Oh, wow, he somewhat resembles Dimitri.

How can he be the grandfather of someone who is 20-40 years older than him?
I went through the campaign and what is said in the article about the relationship is a 120% lie.

Somebody didn't do all the side missions.

If you collect all the pigeons, and throw a grenade at the heart of the city, you get the 100% completion cutscene.

If Futurama can focus on the story of a guy who became his own grandpa, I think that this Niko-great grandpa thing is plausible.
