Cowboys And Pirates

Recently, quite a few 'open-world' have really impressed. Grand Theft Auto IV, Infamous and Assassin's Creed 2. Coming soon : Cowboys and Pirates in the form of Red Dead Redemption and Pirates Of The Caribbean : Armada Of The Damned aim to top these games.

Both of these games are unique in their own way.

Red Dead Redemption will also feature a 16-person multiplayer which can be played cooperatively or competitively. Set in an open world, players can form a posse and attack another posse or buddy up with everyone. Traditional multiplayer games can also be played.

Armada Of The Damned features ship battles played in real time unlike strategy games. These battles are fairly realistic and action packed and seem to promise a lot fun. Sea conditions factor heavily into combat.
