10 Powerful Video Game Moments That Gave You The Chills

8. Red Dead Redemption - Crossing Into Mexico

Easily one of the greatest moments in video game history not only as an awesome moment of levity after the draining gunfight you've just had in crossing the border itself, but also in the choice of song.

Jose Gonzalez' Far Away is such a gorgeously subdued piece of music, it perfectly encapsulates exactly what we needed for the homegrown John Marston and his placement in the story at that time.

The ending of Red Dead is very well documented as a hugely celebratory fist-puncher if there ever was one - which you can read about here - but we're sticking with the fuzzy warm feeling that washes over you as the sun sets and this song plays out as just being that little bit more affecting.
