So grab your hat by the Pinch and Crease and pull up your stampede string, you have cattle to rustle, trains to hold up, banks to rob, hearts to break, and Pinkertons to outrun! Good thing you have a trusty hat to set the mood for outlaw

As the last of the outlaws are hunted down at the dawn of the 20th century, the Wild West is tamed. Arthur Morgan must decide if he will turn his back on the Van der Linde gang that raised him, or risk the swift hand of judgment by the best bounty hunters and law enforcement Uncle Sam can s

The Anatomy of a Great Video Game CityWhat exactly makes a good story when it comes to games? A likable protagonist, interesting plot development, climax, and a definitive resolution are often the key ingredients, but a great antagonist is often times what can separate a story from the rest of the pack. The same concept applies to video Open World games tips, some of the most memorable characters in gaming history have been the ones gamers despised. From Bowser to Ganandorf to Shao Kahn, villains can give their protagonist counterparts a meaning, and a platform to shine. This list will break down the top 10 gaming Antagonists since the year 2000. There will only be one antagonist per franchise, and no reiterations of characters made before 2

Is there anyone out there that has played Red Dead Redemption 2 but would choose to argue against the concept that Adler deserves her own game, that she is one of the greatest characters that Rockstar has ever created and therefore should get to star in a game of her own. We get to see her grow into something brilliant throughout the game, so it would be great to then see what becomes of her once the prequel game is over, especially as we don't see anything of her during the first game in the series. What is it that this woman ends up doi

What's better than regular Shootout? How about Shootout with explosives! Up in Smoke is another game mode in the Showdown series. The main objective of the game is to destroy the opposing team's camp by delivering explosive packages over to their camp and blowing them up. It's a straightforward mode that delivers explosive good fun—pardon the

Keep your spirits up with this gold cup that neatly collapses to fit securely in your saddle bag. Made from high-quality brass, this telescopic cup bears the _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ brand on the bottom of the glass, fully visible when it collapses to roughly the size of a pocket-wa

Skull kids are introduced in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which was made before the year 2000. It wasn’t until Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask that the player encounters the most unique skull kid of them all. Once banished by the four giants, this skull kid returns to Termina only to become a prisoner in his own skin. Under the influence of the dreaded Majora’s Mask, skull kid starts wreaking havoc, including sending the moon on a one-way collision course with Termina. What separates Skull Kid though is that he is not inherently evil. A trickster, yes, but not evil, and he is being transformed before our very eyes into one of the most demonic Zelda villains of all t

Teams have to take over portions of the map and then defend them. This particular game mode allows players to use Red Dead's cover mechanics. While they do not work well, when used in tandem with others, they prove fairly adequ

Aside from breakdowns of levels and gameplay interactions, this collector’s edition also boasts extensive walkthroughs, maps, a reference section, and a pervasive index for all the ground you’ll cover. Last but not least, it has an extensive art gallery devoted to the aesthetic of outlaw life in the Wild W

Every kill in Red Dead Online earns you experience, but headshots will nab you double experience, so always aim high. This goes double for the bow and arrow, which on its own guarantees extra experience and becomes even more useful when combined with bull’s eye accuracy. Channel your inner FPS player and always aim for the head. Try not to rely too much on auto-aim, which won’t always do the trick; as you progress in the game, you’ll become a better shot, reaping the rewards that come with

The one thing that makes the Name Your Weapon mode stand out is the ability to choose whether or not a player enters it by themselves or with a team. It's a game format similar to Shootout in which everyone is trying to get rid of each other, but points have been attached to the various weapons in the game. The more "difficult" it is to eliminate a player with a certain weapon, the more points that weapon is worth. So, players who try meleeing their opponents are treated to a whopping amount of points if they succ

The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase "Would you Kindly". One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta
