I know they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that all art has value, but this seems pretty clear-cut. Kristen Irena’s portrait of Arthur Morgan, the rootin-tootin main character of Red Dead Redemption 2, is a gorgeous recreation. Not to mention it puts Arthur’s drawings of scenes from the wild west
The Yakuza and Grand Theft Auto franchises have tons in common. Both are dramas with the seedy underbellies of criminal organizations serving as the setting.

Coming over a year after I first saddled up to play Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s fitting to come back to the game with a second wind and the chance to really take the game in. In the time since it first released, Rockstar’s ode to the West seemed to draw as many criticisms as

Since its official launch at the end of last year, Red Dead Online–the free multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2–has steadily given players a large array of missions, activities, and more to accomplish while roaming the Wild West.

If you have yet to play through the Western epic that is Red Dead Redemption 2, consider blocking the updates from your original disk install.

A surprise update for Red Dead Online brought in one of the best rifles from the original Red Dead Redemption game: the Evans Repeater.

Jingle bells, Dutch smells, Lenny downed a beer, and yesterday Rockstar issued an update to Red Dead Online that brings a touch of festivity to the online portion of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Of course, Red Dead features the mainstream stuff that you can find in other big titles such as characters shouting their lines when at further distances or running out of breath when
While Red Dead Redemption 2 is a very somber and sad game at times, there are some truly funny moments found in it. For example, fairly early in your playthrough, Arthur and Lenny will have a night out in Valentine and got absolutely trashed. I got to witness a montage of their shenanigans in hilarious fashion. It
The economy system in Red Dead Online is absurd to say the least.

As I was browsing my way throughout some great Red Dead Redemption 2 content this weekend, I stumbled across some people harassing a guy who was clearly making up fake spoilers for the game and trying to fabricate leaks for the upcoming Red Dead Online. Then, I thought to myself; “were there any leaks we didn’t
This past weekend, I completed the main story for Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes, I know, the game is massive and most people have spent a majority of their time exploring its vastness. It might just be a bit too much video game for some. I have (for better or worse) instead opted to power
