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
In Grand Theft Auto IV players take on the role of Niko Bellic and Eastern European who’s trying to find his footing in Liberty City, Rockstar’s take on New York City. In 2008 this game established expectations for what fans believed realistic Open world games map guide-world games could
Make It Count differs from Gun Rush in that players are limited regarding what weapons they have at their disposal. Instead of the rifles and pistols that make up the bread and butter of Red Dead Redemption 2, Make It Count forces players to use either bows and arrows or throwing knives. This might sound restrictive, but it makes the game mode better. No longer can battle royale players rely on the sound of gunshots to alert them to someone else’s presence. The experience becomes ten times more tense as a res
It’s as if Red Dead Redemption 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive met in the middle and tried creating a child. It fails at times thanks to awkward controls, but it promises a great time regardl
In May of 2010, fans of action-adventure and third-person shooter games were given a rare treat; the ability to be a cattle-rustling, train robbing, cowboy in an immersive Western environment. As John Martson, a former outlaw, gamers were tasked with hunting down three members of his former gang in exchange for the government releasing his wife and son. Traveling through a version of the United States during the decline of the American frontier, gamers could engage in gunfights, play cards in a saloon, all the while having their morality levels fluctuate depending on their acti
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

Dragon Age: Inquisition , once lauded for its an interesting blend of turn-based and active combat, has become victim to the internet’s revisionist history. As of 2019 many industry critics and fans look back on the 3rd entry in the Dragon Age series as a subpar game that won simply due to lack of competit
In 2018, Sony Santa Monica, led by God of War veteran Cory Barlog managed to do the impossible. Not only did they soft-reboot one of gaming’s most iconic franchise successfully, but they also fleshed out the main protagonist that had been a one-note punchline for thousands of jokes on the inter
Players might have finished Red Dead Redemption 2 ‘s long story campaign already, especially given how it was released back in October, but that does not mean the Red Dead experience has to be over. Rockstar Games has slowly and steadily released content for its online experience, Red Dead Onli
Most wouldn’t think a game about racing horses around while shooting targets could be so thrilling, but, surprisingly enough, it is. Players mount up for this game mode and have to race around a track while avoiding other players and shooting raised targets. The appeal for Target Races lies in its ability to make players multitask as they will have to focus on shooting targets, eliminating players, and keeping their eyes on the road. Target Races is a delightful cluster of madn
GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human. GLaDOS is the central core of the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. What makes this villain so great is that she doesn’t appear to be a living entity at first, as she initially sounds like prerecorded messages. In a crazy revelation, the main character realizes this is not the case, and the player has to survive and escape GLaDOS’s death traps. An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gam
