if you have gta4 chances are that you found some pretty cool stuff like the heat beat of liberty city or the fact that you can wear claudes clothes from gta3 so if you have any cool things that you saw or even just heard about discuss so we can find it out :thumbsup:

Here is a list I made on another forum that I go to of the top 7 found so far Easter Eggs.

7. The Abandoned Stroller
Not even sure if this really qualifies as an "Easter egg" per se, but it's always in the same place and it's creepy as hell, so in it goes. You can find this stroller abandoned on a sandy hillside just southwest of Francis International Airport, and while it looks like just another piece of garbage cluttering up the game world, it's actually a lot more ominous than that.

Think about it: have you ever seen a kid in a GTA game? No, you haven't. In fact, with the exception of Louise's baby in Vice City Stories (who doesn't count, because she only shows up in cutscenes) and a few radio bits, there's never even been evidence of kids in the GTA world. Here is the Location of the stoller.

6. Little Lacey Surprise
If you played GTA: Vice City Stories, you probably remember the incessant, disturbing radio ads for Little Lacy Surprise, a line of sexy lingerie for little girls. And if you browse through the in-game internet in GTA IV, you'll eventually stumble across a link to www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com, announcing that the makers of the morally indefensible underwear have launched a child beauty pageant.

There's nothing creepy on the site, though, so relax - or don't, because the site has been replaced by a big, fat shutdown notice from the cops. They've recognized the "pageant" as the flimsy front for pedophiles that it is, and what's more, they've logged your IP address just for looking at it. You now have a five-star wanted level. Good luck getting away from that one.

5. Scattered RockStar References
These are all over the place, but most of them are so fleeting and miniscule that we've collected the ones we know about into a single entry. For example, when you're entering or leaving the first safehouse in the game, take a moment to check out the ugly graffiti by the front door. Amid the ugly scrawl are three clearly readable names: "Tommy," "Claude" and "Victor."

http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2008/05/Top%207%20GTA%20IV%20Easter%20eggs/Screens/graffiti2--article_image.jpg
If this is your first GTA, those point to Tommy Vercetti from GTA: Vice City, Claude from GTA III (and/or Claude Speed from GTA 2) and Victor Vance from GTA: Vice City Stories. We're a little surprised to see Toni Cipriani and Carl "CJ" Johnson left off, but we're sure they'll turn up… like CJ does in this superquick skydiving footage during the CNT TV show "I'm Rich!:"

During that same show, you'll also see Bully's Bullworth academy referenced (wrongly) as one of America's best schools:

And before the show comes on, you'll even see a promo for Rednecks Live!, a stock-car racing show that was inexplicably created with GTA: San Andreas:

And of course, you can also find official art from previous games interlaced with random graffiti, if you just know where to look:

4. Claude's Clothes
Midway through the game, you might get access to a swank, top-floor loft safehouse owned by your pal Playboy X. If that happens, try changing clothes while you're there; as you cycle through your outfits, you'll find a new one that's a dead ringer for the clothes worn by GTA III's hero, Claude. Yeah, we always thought the black jacket was more of a leather biker number, too, but there's no mistaking those olive-green cargo pants. It's not the slickest outfit in the game, but if you're feeling nostalgic, slipping on Claude's ensemble can add to the fun of mass destruction.

3. MiniGolf Landmarks
The amusement park at Firefly Island is completely shut down and therefore not really worth exploring - unless you want to see some really cool references to earlier GTAs, that is. Visit the mini-golf course sometime, and you'll be able to see miniature versions of landmarks from other games scattered around. These include:
The Ocean View Hotel from GTA: Vice City

The giant chicken from GTA: San Andreas

There's also the farm windmill from San Andreas' countryside...
http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2008/05/Top%207%20GTA%20IV%20Easter%20eggs/Screens/windmill--article_image.jpg
... the Watts Towers re-creations from Los Santos...
http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2008/05/Top%207%20GTA%20IV%20Easter%20eggs/Screens/wattstowers--article_image.jpg
... and the lighthouse from the old Liberty City, as seen in GTA III and GTA: Liberty City Stories.

2. What They Do Not Want You To Know
Normally, you'll only get access to this website by checking your in-game email after finishing GTA IV's story missions - but technically, you can go there at any time before then, making this the most useful "Easter egg" in the game. Once you get access to the in-game internet, just hit up www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com, and you'll get access to maps detailing where to find every stunt jump, health pack and diseased pigeon in the game, among other things. This one doesn't offer the same thrill of discovery as the other Easter eggs discussed so far, but then those won't help you unlock any Achievements, will they Pribb?

1. The Heart of Happiness
When people first learned that you couldn't just walk up into the Statue of Happiness (GTA IV's version of the Statue of Liberty) and peer out from her crown, they were devastated… until they found out what was really in there. To see Lady Happiness' innermost secret for yourself, just hop inside a helicopter and fly out to Happiness Island. Once there, hover by her feet and bail out onto the normally inaccessible platform that supports them. Walk around the base, and you should see a sign that says "No Hidden Content this way:"
http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2008/05/Top%207%20GTA%20IV%20Easter%20eggs/Screens/Nohiddencontent--article_image.jpg
That's a dead giveaway right there. Walk through the door and you'll see a ladder. Climb it all the way to the top, and you'll be confronted with this massive, chained, beating heart.

Thanks for list, it will give me some stuff to look for.

In a cut scene at Elizabeta's Jimmy Hopkins is in the backround yelling about being number one obviously very hi, and funny.
