Music video games are part of a very unique genre. They typically challenge players to follow certain sequences of movement while dictating specific tempo and rhythm. Some music games require the player to input said rhythm by stepping on a dance pad, or by using a device based on a specific musical instrument. Music games have changed the interaction between players and their consoles by making the entire gaming experience more active. It’s worth noting that this particular video game genre has good influence on the music industry. It is evidenced by a significant raise of legal downloads of songs. Recently, top music games such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Sing Star have achieved huge popularity among casual gamers. They are played almost exclusively on consoles as the PC is not always suited for this type of “active gaming”. Here on Games Republic, a true gamer can find only the best music games. Check them out and show everybody your moves!Recommended indie gamesMax Payne is a video game franchise created by Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Studios.

Since the introduction of the first Red Faction game in 2001, the franchise was released on multiple platforms (PC, PlayStation, GameCube, and Xbox). The Red Faction series has been heavy on its thematic undertones throughout the games (one of the more outstanding themes was a revolutionary socialist undertone). From the miners rebellion featured in Red Faction and Red Faction: Guerrilla (2009) to the overthrown monarchy of Red Faction II (2002), this has been a central theme since the franchise’s inception. Red Faction series has had three distinct styles of gameplay over the years. The first is a traditional FPS element (used by the first two games in the series), while the second is a TPS style of open world gameplay (Red Faction: Guerrilla) and a third person style of corridor shooter used in Red Faction: Armageddon. All games share one common element which is the series' unique environmental destruction system. This system (based on a Geo-Mod engine) was the most proficient in Red Faction: Guerrilla where the game's entire environment was completely destructible. The series has received many positive reviews, with the original Red Faction and third installment (Red Faction: Guerrilla) getting the most acclaim. Red Faction is one of the most iconic franchises and features many ground-breaking gameplay elements. It’s atmospheric, gritty and has a meaningful message. You should definitely give it a go!Hide
