Rockstar fumbled the multiplayer portion of Grand Theft Auto V at the time of the game’s launch in 2013, but it is now inarguably the biggest part of that package. The game still sells today and there is no hard data to suggest people skip the campaign in order to play multiplayer, but given the amount of people still playing Grand Theft Auto Online , well, one can at least infer it. Red Dead Redemption 2’s online portion was also botched and could eventually get better, but as of right now it is
Riding on a horse on an old town road is a dream come true for western fans. That said, getting around the giant environment without one is a pain. There is basically no fast travel. Horses also don’t come if you are too far away so if one gets stranded in the middle of nowhere then it is time to start walking. That problem is almost never apparent in Grand Theft Auto V thanks to the cellphone and the abundance of all kinds of terrain vehic
Beecher’s Hope gave us nostalgia in spades, but there’s honestly not much else keeping us in the Great Plains. Cholla Springs, on the other hand, is simultaneously rolling in the nostalgia factor while also providing players with interesting encounters along the way. It’s still surprising to consider how diverse the red desert can be, but it is full of enemies and legendary animals for you to deal with in turn. So not only will players of the original Red Dead Redemption traverse Cholla Springs with a permanent grin on their faces as they fondly remember the first game, they’ll have to stay on their toes to deal with whatever problem comes their
For as successful and innovative as Rockstar Games has been with their releases, they’ve always managed to never quite nail controls in their games. It’s not that they feel clunky or bad, but they also seem to just feel a fraction of a bit off from what you’d exp
A movie tie-in game and a sequel to an already mediocre outing, Kung Fu Panda 2 somehow manages to fail to meet even the lowest of expectations. As an entry-level action game, Kung Fu Panda 2 does the bare minimum expected of the ge
This was the third in a series of games that took not only first-person games to the next level but also adventure and detective games , which had their own niche genres. Despite the old-timey private investigator aesthetic, the setting is a unique post-WW3 world in the year 2042, and Tex Murphy lives in the mean streets of New San Franci
As the decade nears its end, the time has come to look back at the previous ten years’ highs and lows. Like a sequel seeking to recapture the magic of its predecessor, the 2010s started life in the shadow of the 2000s before seeking out its own path. Spanning multiple console generations and platforms, this decade saw the birth of fledgling IPs like Splatoon while revered properties such as Metal Gear Solid produced some of their greatest and most unfortunate cont
Widely regarded as one of the scariest games of all time, Amnesia: The Dark Descent induces feelings of terror and agony as you delve further into the game. The amount of exploration contained in Amnesia: The Dark Descent makes it a first-person adventure game and a horror g
Part of the CD-ROM puzzle and adventure game trend that was popular in the 1990s, The 7th Guest also introduced the concept of Lovecraftian horror to first-person games. Like Myst, it uses 3D graphics and video cut scenes to progress through the st
This may a bit unfair to Red Dead Redemption 2, as it hasn’t even been out a year yet compared to Grand Theft Auto V . That said, time constraints or not that game is a lot more visible in society. That has always been the case with this series though. There has never been anything controversial with Red Dead Redemption 2 , well, except for when it came to development practices. Even so Grand Theft Auto V has more of a cultural impact on a whole compared to both Red Dead Redemption games. That’s just the way it
Micah might not be as deep as some Rockstar antagonists, but he evokes a level of hatred that very few villains in gaming history can match. Finding a redeemable quality in the man is difficult, as he is shown to be constantly cruel and selfish throughout the g
A modern beat ’em up featuring Billy and Jimmy should be a relatively safe bet. In reality, Wander of the Dragons succeeds in doing nothing right, a feat that is actually quite impressive. The ugly graphics are easy to spot, but screenshots cannot do justice to just how awful this beat ’em up feels to p

Despite the game being a prequel, it manages to build on the legacy of the first game and features vastly superior writing. Sadly, most people on PC will likely be focused on the online mode. Yet, if they manage to dip their toes in the single-player, they’ll quickly become hoo
