The 10 Best Crime Video Games Ever Ranked

In Grand Theft Auto , one could catapult themselves through a car windshield if they crashed in the right way, serving as a public service announcement on the importance of seat belts. Unsuspecting horse riders in RDR2 found themselves jettisoning off their steeds if they ran into a fence or tree too f

You have to be unlikable in a Western for your most defining character trait to be the silhouette of your cowboy hat. Bill Williamson was known for having one side of his hat up and pressed against the center. He was also known for being a real big jerk.


The Pinkertons didn't make good on their promise, however, and mowed him down in cold blood. It was entirely unnecessary, as John had put that life behind him and was eager to settle down. Unfortunately, some people won't let others forget their p


Holding one's family hostage to make them do your dirty work is morally corrupt, and deserving of some good old fashion Wild West justice. Coincidentally, the two's first and last meeting were both on a riverside where one party was fish


During the game, players can hear a story about how Hosea originally wanted to be a priest. He goes on to say that "didn't know that you had to be Catholic to be a priest." This implies that he likely wasn't originally Catholic, but was rather a convert to the relig


The Yakuza game Sales franchise revolves around, as anyone could guess, a member of the Japanese crime syndicate. Yakuza 0 is a prequel to the first game and follows the series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima as they found themselves involved in an incident that involves all of Japan's criminal organizati


Triad levels up when he commits violent acts, Face levels up during civilian side missions, and Police levels up when he minimizes the damage done to properties, civilians and during police side que

In the follow-up prequel title, players come to learn about the gang from inside and become familiar with the members and the inner workings of the crew as a whole. The gang is large but there's a handful of interesting and important members. Let's now rank the 10 most prominent members of the Van Der Linde gang from Red Dead Redemption 2 .


Imagine becoming good friends with someone you tried to rob and hustle. If entertainment is any indication of the plausibility of this happening then it must be fairly common among criminals and outl


Most of the time when people think of nicknames they automatically assume they're used as a term of endearment. That's not always the case as many times nicknames can also be used to tease or ridicule people based on their previous actions or mista


The saddest thing about the deaths of honorable people in this game is how dishonorably they were treated. Hosea was shot in the back after the Pinkertons captured him. Unarmed in the middle of a dirty street is no way for anyone to go, let alone someone players got to know so well. It also signaled the death of any sense of honor or loyalty within the gang. That moment, and the ensuing ambush, were omens foreseeing the beginning of the end. Would things have turned out so tragically is Hosea had li


Red Dead Redemption 2 released in 2018 to great critical reception and saw tremendous sales success. The game told a Western tale that ended up being one of the best video game narratives of all time as players journeyed along the way with Arthur Morgan. The Van Der Linde was comprised of many members, some making it and others falling along the way. Some of the characters were likable, but Micah Bell sure wasn't one of them. Let's look at ten things you might not have known about Micah Bell from Red Dead Redemption


We're not laughing at his fright—anyone would scream if they fell from a similar distance—but it's more the abrupt cutoff between when he lands and his nonchalance towards just taking such a big drop. It may not be super realistic, but it is better than breaking a bone or cutting a leg open and having to crawl to the nearest doctor, and we all know what doctors used to do with injured limbs back in those d


Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol

Charles and Sadie Adler are arguably the closest pairings among the gang right behind Arthur and John Marston or Micah Bell and Dutch Van Der Linde. The two of them show that good people and outlaw tendencies aren't mutually exclusive things.


Dutch makes the top of the list because there is still so much sadness and confusion in his character. He is irredeemable by Red Dead Redemption , but it forever remains unclear what made him snap in the first place. Was it the pressure of his fading outlaw lifestyle? Was it the head injury he sustained during the first botched Saint Denis bank robbery? Perhaps he was always evil and selfish and no one noticed until his survival instinct negatively affected them. He had to be put down, but everyone involved wished some other alternative was availa
