In my opinion Red Dead Redemption was the best game of this console generation. It was very impressive and immensely fun. It also has the best voice acting in a game I've ever seen
Yep. Not a single bad thing to say about that game. It was fucking brilliant.
There's a new game out called Sleeping Dogs that looks like it fits the bill for this thread. I haven't played it personally, but it's getting pretty good reviews. I guess it's somewhat of a spiritual successor to True Crime: Streets of L.A., which was a pretty awesome game.
