The following links should not lead to the actual websites, but wikipedia articles on that topic. | |||
==Interactive Sites== | |||
====Gameplay-effecting sites==== | |||
The most important websites in the game consist of emails (used during main and side missions from time to time) and online dating (where Niko can meet three possible [[girlfriends]]). | |||

==Other Sites== | |||
