The 10 Best Crime Video Games Ever Ranked

Imagine becoming good friends with someone you tried to rob and hustle. If entertainment is any indication of the plausibility of this happening then it must be fairly common among criminals and outl


Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't care about other games that have come out in recent years, and it doesn't defer to successful models when deciding how to present an open world to the player. The game can be obtuse. It can be difficult. It can be incredibly slow. But, in spite of all that, Red Dead Redemption 2 exists as a breath of fresh air among a crowded field of open-world games. There is an unforgettable atmosphere. And players who stick around will perceive the immense level of care in the Game forums's design. Rockstar went to absurd lengths to bring the West to our screens, and they did a damn fine job. Here's how Red Dead Redemption 2 broke the mold with open-world ga

Is a machine not working properly? He'll find the switch or plug that'll make it work. Too many Combine soldiers getting in the way of the resistance fighters? Don't worry, he'll crowbar them to death for you. Need to vent about your worries regarding the end of humanity as we know it? Feel free to talk away, as Gordon is an excellent listener. He doesn't speak much, but he's a true blue friend, and he even doesn't mind picking up the beer tab, as long you get him back after this whole alien war business is taken care of.


Most games maintain a steady stream of information that floods the screen. Little markers delineating new destinations. A compass to coordinate movement with your position on the map. Reminders for the quest that you're undertaking. Indicators of health, stamina, or any other status that might be necessary. Everything is designed to assist the player and ensure that you're not lacking context. Red Dead Redemption 2 throws that out the window. You're going to die. You're going to get lost. That's part of being in the Wild West. Get used to it. And that perilous freedom means so much in an open-world g

Sometimes open-world games sag under the weight of their content. There is simply too much to do. What's worst is when the same amount of time applied to develop content for the world is not equally applied to create a compelling narrative. That is not the case in Red Dead Redemption 2 . The writing is superb. The characters are fully realized. The emotions are nuanced. The story is believable. Every piece in that puzzle fits nicely, and the result is an elegant tale set in a wild wo


Curzon Dobell has managed to appear on numerous television shows such as Gotham, The Blacklist, and House of Cards but none of his roles are nearly as prominent as Hosea in Red Dead Redemption 2 . His performance was so rock-solid and impressive that many players are hoping he returns in a future Rockstar Games proj


When you have to travel in an open-world game, speed is essential. Style, though, is something oft-overlooked. With that in mind, let's pay homage to the humble horse. The beasts are faster than humans. Horses look much cooler when they gallop. A man riding a horse looks suave. A man that isn't riding a horse is just, horseless.
