In the spirit of Zombieland, I have decided to publish my own rules of survival...this time for Game: Grand Theft Auto IV. Enjoy, and feel free to add your own.

Rule #1: Shock And Awe
It never hurts to bring a shotgun to a knife fight. Come armed to the teeth.

Rule #2: Use What You Have
Don't waste effort trying to get pull a bootleg in the middle of an intersection when you can use a nearby car or support column to achieve it quickly.

Rule #3: Seatbelts
Try not to hit a solid object at high speed. It's not a happy ending.

Rule #4: Efficiency
Why use up 30 shells to take out a dozen cops, when you can use a single vehicle to flatten them all at once?

Rule #5: No Drinking
While it might be fun, drinking impairs your driving, and therefore impairs your ability to create mass destruction on an unprecedented scale.

Rule #6: Let Your Inner Child Burn
Don't be prude about the amount of choas you can sow. Stack up a blockade of cars, and then find the most inventive way to set it all off.

Rule #7: Live the High Life
If you're going to get a wanted star, aim for six. And do it in a nice expensive Oldsmobile with leather seats. Spoil yourself.

Rule #8: No Jaywalking
This one only really applies if you're a computer-generated citizen of Liberty City, but it goes without saying that if you decide to cross the road randomly, some jackass in an SUV will make you a hood ornament.

Rule #9: (Not So) Quiet Time
Whether it's with a girlfriend or a random girl, get a little nookie every so often. It helps to break the monotony of constant killing.

Rule #10: Limber Up
It's not always easy to get right into the murder and mayhem. You might want to do some of the plot missions and unlock more dangerous (and more satisfying) means of destruction.
