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

One of Red Dead Redemption 2′ s most repulsive antagonists is a member of the Van der Linde gang for most of Red Dead Redemption 2. Although a talented gunslinger, Micah Bell is despised by most members of the Van der Linde gang. Arthur Morgan and Hosea Matthews disliked Micah because of his hot-headed nat

Possibly the easiest award to earn in Red Dead Online — and there are a whopping 425 of them — requires you to sell items to each of the game’s three merchants . This is a natural starting point, as all it requires you to do is collect herbs, animal parts, and merchandise to the doctor, butcher, and fence, respectively. These can be easily found throughout the game world, especially herbs in the game’s forest settings. All these items are all plentiful among the game’s large Open World Games News world, so get to search

Along with the Showdown Series, Red Dead Online ’s Race Series will test your horse riding skills against a host of online competitors. Standard and open races are purely speed competitions, but the newly patched target races add an extra layer of challenge as players must hit targets while they race against other riders. Winning these races is one of the best ways to farm XP, and practice makes perf

We meet Sadie Adler early in the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 when she is hiding in a cellar. Although she is a woman, Sadie displays gunslinging beyond that of other outlaws. She is a close friend to both Arthur Morgan and John Marston and is a major character in RDR2’s st

The success of the widely acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 is owed to its dynamic characters who draw emotion so intense that it can seem palpable. It’s been almost a year since its release, but the hype for the game remains str

The original Gears of War trilogy introduced gamers to one of the more unexpected villains in recent times. Queen Myrah, leader of the Locust Horde, is actually a human. Throughout the first Gears , the phrase “For the Queen” was thrown around by locust troops time and time again without any idea as to who the queen was. Once her identity was revealed, it was surprising to see that she is actually human. A traitor to her own people, Queen Myrrah is responsible for the deaths of millions and for organizing Emergence Day, the day Sera changed fore

She was created as a clone from a copy of a doctor’s (Dr. Catherine Halsey to be exact) brain. She is one of only two AI to have been created from Haley’s mind. Halsey realized Cortana was a bit “abnormal” when the robot removed her termination code. Makes perfect sense Windows would want to name software after this charac

Often times the power to influence and manipulate is stronger than any gun, sword, or army. Red Dead Redemption 2 ’s Dutch Van Der Linde had the unbelievably powerful ability to trick and deceive, all while masquerading as a caring, compassionate man. To start off, he essentially preyed upon two outcast teenagers, John Marston, and Arthur Morgan, so he could raise them as his unquestioning supporters. He takes advantage of people’s bad fortune to gain their trust and essentially turn them into his mindless followers, and his power of speech is so unmatched he can talk men and women into doing terrible deeds and actually convince them they were doing good. As his true colors finally come to light, Dutch exposes himself as a murderous, money loving, selfish sociopath. In a way, Dutch talked himself into not only fame and fortune, but an early gr

Red Dead Redemption 2 has earned its place as one of the most ambitious open-world video games ever made, but exploring its dark and dangerous world can get a little lonely — which is why the game’s multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online , is such a breath of fresh

Mass Effect gave to gamers one of the wildest fights for survival seen thus far in the form of the war against robotic behemoths named The Reapers. Beyond the Reapers, though, was The Illusive Man. Almost a Keyser Soze like figure, The Illusive Man heads the renegade group Cerberus, who the game’s protagonist, Commander Shephard, is actively fighting against most of the game. What really sets The Illusive Man apart, though, is what he does when he finds a beaten and battered Commander Shephard in space. He revives him and sets him free again. As interesting as he is puzzling, The Illusive Man lives up to his n
