Rockstar Games are famous for their attention to detail, but when they released Red Dead Redemption II all the way back in 2018, even those who'd believed in them from the very beginning were blown away.
Rockstar Games are one of the biggest and most iconic video game developers to have ever existed, although that is largely down to some of the exceptional video games that they have managed to provide the industry.
Prepare to venture into a dangerous fantasy world to embark upon an epic quest for redemption that’s inspired the unforgiving philosophy of the 'Souls' games. Sounds difficult for sure, but the side-scrolling action-RPG The Skylia Prophecy does offer ways to make life a little easier. The only way to know if you’re up to the task is to delve into The Skylia Prophecy, which has just arrived on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
I think it's safe to say that Red Dead Redemption impressed everyone when it released back in 2010. It was nominated for numerous accolades, and won many as well - including Game of the Year. Nowadays, it's widely regarded as one of the best games of all time. But its zombie-infested follow-up Undead Nightmare deserves as much if not more praise for being one of the best DLCs ever made.

Rockstar Games. Chances are you’ve fallen hard for one of their titles, and as a result lost several days of avid gaming to it. Red Dead Redemption saw their first big, open-world foray into the Wild West, in what has since fast become Rockstar’s trademark fashion.
The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series on Xbox One is a worthy send-off to one of gaming's best stories and developers of the 2010s.

The Red Dead Online Beta continues to evolve, with more and more content frequently added to it since its launch. The player vs. player modes in the Showdown Series especially have been expanded on and improved to ensure dramatically competitive matches are a staple of the gameplay. Now though, there’s yet another new addition to the Series in the form of the Spoils of War mode. So who’s ready for some capture-style multiplayer action?
If you’ve been enjoying the epic, but brutal, boss battles found in Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption, then we’ve got good news because a free update is incoming on Xbox One and it’ll add additional content like game modes, extra weapons and even a new boss.
It’s that time of year again, when our thoughts turn to all the games we've played in the previous 12 months and how best to rank them. In this list I will share what were, for me, the best games I played and attempt to explain why. The thing is, you won’t be seeing Red Dead Redemption 2 included in here! So, in no particular order, here are my Top 10 Xbox One Games of 2018 - excluding that behemoth!
