4) Red Dead Redemption (PS3) - The theme of redemption has always resonated with me for some reason. I was skeptical about how well of a story Rockstar can tell while keeping the gameplay fun and fresh. To my surprise, really well. The chracters, the world from turn of the century is brought back to life as a really amazing end of the cowboy era story. One of the reasons i really loved movies and books was that they you experience something that you might just not able to do in your life. Seeing life through another person's perspective, another timeline in history or future. This game let me experience a great cynical character through John Marston. The small things like the song starting to play in the middle of game when riding to a new mexico was just simply amazing. Posting the song video below.
