With Curtain Call, we asked our team what some of their most memorable and satisfactory finales were in the realm of gaming, and these entries are the result. Please note that they may include a bevy of spoilers concerning the endings in question and the plots they pertain to. You’ve been warned!
It’s rare when I see something so thoroughly misinterpreted by just about everyone. Maybe it’s because games don’t cover easily misinterpreted themes that often, or maybe it’s because the way games tackle certain subjects lends to one interpretation, even if the polar opposite was supposed to be read into it.
The latter is what I think happened to Red Dead Redemption. This game explores a number of themes. It’s a story of redemption, it’s a story of change, it’s a story about a clash of ideals, it deconstructs the western outlaw,...

Poor old Uwe Boll. He gets a hard time of it from critics and film fanatic keyboard warriors alike. Often lambasted in film press and blogs for his unique approach to films, it’s fair to say that a few of his previous works have been completely panned. However his 2009 release, Rampage, hasn’t been quite so hated by critics. In fact, some are questioning whether or not this could be his first truly good movie, and one to be critically acclaimed. There have been a few whisperings in the right circles that Rampage is actually a really good movie. The movie itself stars Brendan Fletcher as Bill Williamson, a guy so utterly bored with his everyday life that one day he decides to make a suit out of Kevlar. So far so slightly odd. But then Williamson starts stocking up on large quantities of weapons, which he uses to go on a shooting spree,...

Phase 4 Films has announced the release of Rampage: Capital Punishment on DVD/VOD on August 19th in the U.S. and October 21st in Canada. The sequel to Uwe Boll’s best-reviewed film Rampage, sees star Brendan Fletcher (Rampage, The Pacific, Freddy vs. Jason) return for the sequel, alongside Lochlyn Munro (Assault on Wall Street, White Chicks) and Mike Dopud (Smallville, Sgu Stargate Universe).
Violent anti-hero Bill Williamson has a plan to change the world by exacting vengeance on the rich and ripping Washington apart. He holds a number of people hostage and uses his captives as his political platform to spread his message and awaken humanity. It’s time to destroy the system and change won’t happen peacefully.

And today the follow-up has been dated for release. Read on!

Any time you get the chance to write about Uwe Boll, you do it. This man is one of the most interesting filmmakers out there based upon his tarnished reputation and propensity to box film journalists who enjoy tearing his career apart, but even more flabbergasting is that Boll Has seen success. Most people just don’t pay attention to that. In 2009, a film called Rampage acted as a vessel for Boll’s political satire, giving an oddly respectable voice to the usually crude creator.
Since Rampage, Boll went on to direct another string of underwhelming efforts, but a new trailer released today suggests the auteur is ready to re-visit his most successful material for another go at corruption, class warfare, and governmental gripes. Yes, Rampage: Capital Punishment brings back Brendan Fletcher as the disgruntled Bill Williamson, suiting up once again to unite the typically unheard voices for a bit of rebellious outreaching.

I’ve got to be honest, I’m a sucker for westerns. The lone cowboy and his trusty horse roaming the open and untamed land is admittedly romantic, but I also find it incredibly thrilling. A time filled with endless possibilities and complex stories that go beyond the good guy/bad guy dynamic. After all, the good guys don’t always have to wear white.
So naturally, I fell in love with Red Dead Redemption, glitches and all. The narrative lens used to portray John Martson’s story won me over in a matter of seconds. Marston’s history is written with the scars on his face and the weary look in his eyes. A troubled past, an attempt to start fresh, a dying breed, and government blackmail. Let me saddle up and grab my Winchester, I’m all in.

The Blackwater Ledger – August 15th, 1911
Legendary Gunslinger Arrives in Armadillo. Exhibits strange behaviours!
The God-fearing citizens of Armadillo, New Austin, were confronted last week by the strange and erratic behaviour of notorious bandit and murderer John Marston – formerly of the Van Der Linde gang – who was responsible for the Great Steamboat Massacre of 1906.
Rumours of Mr. Marston’s arrival had circulated the township for several weeks prior, with local residents speculating that the outlaw would bring his legendary penchant for violence, gambling and solicitation upon their community.
Among his famed dexterities, Mr. Marston is said to own the steadiest gun hand in the Frontier; be an uncannily able horseman, and have a hustler’s knack for backroom card games. Armadillo business owners and residents alike however, have reported Mr. Marston’s behaviours to be quite discordant with his rumoured proclivities.
Though Mr. Marston repeatedly engaged in gun-battle, his aptitude in...

Rockstar are perhaps one of the most successful Publisher/Developers doing business today. Their recent announcement of Grand Theft Auto V has whipped the game-playing public into an absolute frenzy and the screenshots that they released seemingly just moments ago in an ‘Asked and Answered’ session have already been passed around the internet like a porn mag in a high school.
On the back of that news came something equally exciting. When pressed about the fate of the Red Dead series, representatives from Rockstar were keen to assure us that announcement details are in fact on the way. Whether that’s tomorrow, or months down the line isn’t yet clear, but one thing can be easily gleaned from the words: it’s coming.
While a third journey into Rockstar’s acclaimed Western world was always anticipated, it’s been way too long since we’ve heard anything on the fate of the franchise.

There’s a sort of social stigma attached to tie-ins of any sort, really. There’s something about the idea of an expanded Universe that many argue results in an unavoidable bastardisation of the source material.
Let me just define the term ‘tie-in’ within the context of this article. Tie-ins exist in across all forms of media and in any direction. You’ve got movie to comic book, comic book to movie (more common), movie to game, game to comic book, even comic book to musical album (admittedly rare, but if you listen to Coheed and Cambria, you’ll know what I mean). Some are great; most are unfortunately mediocre, but they exist in abundance, thanks to that twatty business term you may know as ‘synergy’.
I don’t think tie-ins themselves are the issue; when done right, they can provide a wealth of satisfaction, and new depths to an already well-loved character or setting.

Nothing is confirmed yet, but guys from ShowBizSpy claim that Pitt is the favorite to play lead renegade outlaw John Marston in the epic cowboy shoot-em-up:
“This is an exciting project with a great character at the center of it. The idea is to make this in the style of an epic Western movie but with a few modern touches.”
Another news is that Brad Pitt is being given first refusal for the role which is definitely no surprise. After all, who wouldn’t hire him for their film?...

Wanna watch the extended version of 'A Short Film from Red Dead Redemption'? Here's some info. The 30 minute short film is now available for viewing in HD at the Red Dead Redemption sitethe Videos section of RockstarGames.com. It was created and directed by John Hillcoat (the director of The Proposition and The Road) and chronicles a slice-in-time of protagonist John Marston as he tracks down his former fellow outlaw and friend, Bill Williamson. Along the way, Marston encounters many of Red Dead Redemption’s eclectic cast of dreamers, misfits and liars.Using the world of Red Dead Redemption as a virtual film studio and created entirely with in-game assets and technology, John Hillcoat re-imagines Marston’s pursuit of justice and salvation. Now, I stopped playing video games about a decade ago. But every now and then, I hear good things about certain games, and this is certainly one of them.

There have been titles that pushed the gaming world forward in terms of single-player campaigns or multi-player experiences or gameplay or graphics, but “Red Dead Redemption” is a masterpiece on every discernable level. It’s doubtful you’ll play anything better all year.
It’s downright hilarious to read the naysayers trying to pick apart the little things that may hold “Red Dead Redemption” back from a perfect score. You can’t swim seems to be the only one gaining any traction. Yes, this is a game that is so perfect that the fact that your character never learned how to doggy paddle is the only thing message board trolls seem...

You’ve read our review, seen all the trailers, and probably have played the game by now, but the Red Dead Redemption machine just keeps on chugging.
This time, we’ve got an excellent Red Dead Redemption short film by director John Hillcoat. Hillcoat is no stranger to the Western genre -- having directed the film The Proposition (which I highly recommend you watch).
So what could a 30-minute (with commercials) short film based on a vast and expansive video game be about?
The premise will be a slice-of-life piece of John Marston on his journey to kill/capture Bill Williamson. Expect to see a number of the game’s supporting characters here as well.
Don’t take my word for it, take a look at the trailer below:
Tune in to watch the Read Dead Redemption short on Fox (check local listings) this Saturday, May 29, at midnight. Not exactly...

The unique endeavor will consist entirely of "in-game assets," according to an announcement on RockstarGames.com. More details are apparently on the way, but if you're the "Saturday Night Live"-viewing type who's already up with TV on at such a late hour, you may wish to consider a channel switch for 30 minutes.

By now, you've guided John Marston through most of the starting area in New Austin. You've hunted, you've gotten some supplies, you've probably taken on a gang hideout or two. Still, all of your efforts amount to too much time for not enough cash. That's where bounty hunting comes in.
Your main target is Bill Williamson of course, but occasionally you'll have an opportunity to bring some other scumbag to justice for the crimes he's committed. There's good money to be had in bounty hunting, especially if you can bring your target in alive. It seems like a daunting task initially, but it's actually quite simple once you figure out how things work.

If you really want to embrace bounty hunting, drop whatever you're doing whenever a skull icon appears on your minimap and go there immediately. Check out the wanted poster at that location and accept the bounty.

Screen shot courtesy of Rockstar Games. John Marston stands in the doorway of a decrepit, wooden jailhouse. The sun hits his back, giving the grizzled cowboy a dramatic silhouette reminiscent of John Wayne in The Searchers. We cycle through a series of medium shots and close-ups, cutting between Marston and the jail’s lumbering buffoon of a deputy as they stand—or, in the case of the latter, slouch—with guns drawn, staring each other down until the sheriff arrives and the men regain their cool. Marston says he’s looking for Bill Williamson. The sheriff laughs. Marsten stands his ground. Sheriff: You’re a persistent little cuss. Marston: Only when it matters. John Marston is impossibly rugged and audacious. He’s the stuff of John Ford movies and Spaghetti Westerns. In fact, Red Dead Redemption, where we meet Marsten, feels very much like one of those films. Only it’s not a film.

The title "Red Dead Redemption" has a double meaning. On the one hand, the game's protagonist John Marston is a recovering outlaw, a man who only wants to live the rest of his days peacefully on the Great Plains with his wife and son. The title can also be taken as a reference to "Red Dead Revolver," a title that Rockstar Games obtained half-finished from Capcom and released in 2004 on Xbox and PlayStation 2, to an underwhelming response. "Redemption" is a sequel in name only; there are certainly flaws, but this is a full-blown, open-world Rockstar production to the pretender that was "Revolver."

Uwe Boll's latest will release June 1st on DVD through Phase 4 Films (Rampage). Boll is often regarded as one of the worst directors in cinema. However, there are some films of Boll's that have turned out digestable e.g. Tunnel Rats. Rampage could turn out to be one of his better films based on reviews. In Rampage Bill starts a one man war with society. Guess who wins? The DVD artwork can be seen here with a synopsis below. Is Boll transitioning into a quality filmmaker? That might be a stretch at this point. Yet, Darfur and Rampage both have potential. A trailer for this release is inside.
The synopsis for Rampage here:
"The boredom of small town life is eating Bill Williamson alive. Feeling constrained and claustrophobic in the meaningless drudgery of everyday life and helpless against overwhelming global dissolution, Bill (Brendan Fletcher) begins a descent into madness.

"Redemption" will incorporate 'open world' gameplay similar to "Grand Theft Auto" with free-roaming ability in several environments including frontier towns, prairies and mountain passes.
Realistic horses will also play an integral part of the game's transport, with over 40 different types of animals featured throughout the game.
