9. Warthogs Only In The Original Blood Gulch... With Grenades - Halo
What happened when we crashed two, indestructible jeeps into each other with very little gravity? Why... one of the best, unintentional, split-screen multiplayer modes ever. We hope the purists behind the Halo: Master Chief Collection's version of Halo: Combat Evolved's multiplayer will retain its ridiculous, invincible Warthogs. We also hope to one day simply refer to all things Halo-related as "Halo."
8. Horseback-Dragging A Hogtied Bandit Through The Underbrush - Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar have proven themselves the reigning lords of procedural character animations time and time again, and Red Dead Redemption was no exception. Slow-mo in the vein of a classier Max Payne allowed for a deeper appreciation of those classic, Western shootouts as the good, bad and ugly fell just like old Hollywood pros. You might call lassos a cowboy cliche, but they sure came in handy when John Marston wanted somebody to talk.
7. Sailing Stormy Swells On The Caribbean Sea - Assassin's Creed IV
A Pirate's life sure seemed sweet while gallivanting about Assassin's Creed IV, as swashbuckling, treasure hunting and high seas sailing were all ripe for our virtual plundering. An unexpected through-line of the entire experience, however, was the sense of scale and endless voyage one felt carving through the great Caribbean blue as a salty-dog ship captain. Epic camera sweeps and gorgeous, 3D wave simulations have solidified Black Flag as bona-fide boat porn.
Real Science Magazine called James' addiction to video games "sexually attractive." He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
