The Game Awards: The Last 10 Game Of The Year Winners, Ranked

We’re constantly hearing about how some of the main characters in the gang having been together for a long time now, various moments and robberies being referenced that sound like they were a lot of fun. Throw in the fact that they describe a time when the US was a lot friendlier to the sorts of people that would solace in the arms of a gang, and we think there is a huge chance for a fun game there. Give us a chance to take part in some of Hosea’s fun little scheme, watch how the gang slowly came together to be the gang that we came to know in Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption 2 is very careful about how it builds up its characters and where their actions ultimately lead them, and the case is no different for Karen . Throughout the bulk of the campaign, Karen is presented as a no-nonsense woman who becomes an alcoholic after the death of Sean. Her actions become increasingly combative at camp leading up the game’s finale. When the smoke clears and all of Dutch’s gang is either dead or moved on, Karen is simply no where to be fo

Well, maybe not STUPID, but certainly foolish and empty-headed. For example, John gets captured by Leviticus Cornwall, forcing Arthur to once again save his butt from danger. To make matters worse, the subsequent shootout forces the entire gang out of Valentine. But John’s biggest blunder was selling the prized Braithwaite horses for a meager $700 when he could have gotten $5,000. Arthur turns to John with disappointment in his eyes and says the words we’ve all been feeling – “You’re a fool, Marst

The great thing about prequels is that we learn a lot about characters we thought we knew. We grew to love John Marston throughout Red Dead Redemption , and we thought we knew all there was to know about him. That is, until Red Dead Redemption 2 came along, and we realized that we barely knew him at

Thankfully in 2009, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves managed to capture the Game of the Year prize at that year’s Spike Game Awards, earning a piece of hardware that the franchise deserved. With the future of the franchise, a question mark post- Uncharted 4 , what comes n

Dutch ‘s journey from inspirational leader to unhinged despot desperately trying to gain control is one of the most fascinating stories in Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s one of the linchpins of the entire campaign. Throughout the game, as Dutch’s plans are continuously foiled, he begins to turn away from his most loyal followers (Hosea, John, Arthur, etc.) when they start questioning his leadership in favor of the villainous Micah Bell. Who never questions him at all, we should n

We’re not saying that the end of Red Dead Redemption wasn’t great on its own, putting the player in control of the main character’s son as they take revenge for the death of their father. However, we want to know what happens after this, how Jack Marston manages to live in a US that no longer wants the likes of this sort of cowboy in the Open world games missions. We think it would be interesting to see what would become of this character, how he would change as he became an adult and what being alone in a cruel world does to him. Definitely a sequel worth looking i

He decided to follow his father’s path of criminal activity, rather than better himself as his mother probably would have wanted for him. It leaves fans questioning his decision-making skills and a need to know more about his final decision to join a band of outl

By the time the gang reaches Clemens Point, Arthur and John’s relationship is a little better. While Arthur shows more respect for John, he still talks down to him and calls him an idiot. That is, until Jack is taken by the Braithwaites and given to Angelo Bronte. Arthur suddenly finds himself much more sympathetic towards John, and he tries to comfort him amidst the stressful situation. Once Jack is safely returned, Arthur praises John for his handling of the situation and starts treating him with more respect and admirat

Before The Game Awards started in 2014, Keighley also helped put on the Spike Game Awards on SpikeTV up until 2012 when television channels were replaced by Youtube and later Twitch. Let’s look at the last 10 Game of the Year winners for The Game Awards/Spike Game Awards, ran

However, the letter that he gets back from his brother is less than conciliatory, hinting at a dark past with Micah that he would rather forget, before warning him not to come anywhere near him or his family. We hated Micah, but we would be interested in a game that showed us exactly what he and his brother used to

Arthur and John’s relationship is the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Yes, the story is primarily about Arthur’s redemption, but it is through their relationship that we see the redemption taking place. And just as Arthur changes throughout the story, so too does John. Both start the story as immoral and violent men, and both end in better places having gone through their respective redemptive arcs. One could certainly argue that the “redemption” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is about both John and Arthur. Yes, John had his redemption in the first game as well, but hey, no one said that life is one straight p
