John Marston

John Marston, Sr. is a fictional character and playable protagonist of Red Dead Redemption and its downloadable pack Undead Nightmare, created by Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar Games. He is played by actor Rob Wiethoff, who provided the voice and motion capture for the character.
John is a former outlaw who is taken from his family by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The only way in which he is allowed to return to his family is by killing or capturing his former outlaw allies, which forms the basis of the plot of Red Dead Redemption.

Old West

Ah, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-life-was-like-wild-west-sheriff/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">Wild West</a>, where cowboys ruled&nbsp;and disputes were adjudicated with the pull of a trigger. Quick-drawing heroes, antiheroes, and psychopathic villains are a mainstay of the Western genre and appear in just about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/historically-inaccurate-western-movie-tropes/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">every film, TV show, or video game set in the Wild West</a>. However, there are undoubtedly some that stand out among the horde of cattle rustlers&nbsp;and righteous, vengeance-seeking white knights. Here&#39;s a chance to see how they would hold up in a free-for-all fight in the streets of a backwater border town.

Could the cigar-chomping Man with No Name get the drop on the drunken US&nbsp;Marshal with the amazing name of Rooster Cogburn? Would Tombstone&#39;s Doc Holliday (a historical figure, admittedly, but a highly fictionalized one) be Raylan Givens&#39;s huckleberry in a quick draw? Would the space-faring Malcolm Reynolds come out on top in a tete-a-tete&nbsp;with&nbsp;the (again, highly fictionalized) Sundance Kid? Revisiting some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-wild-west-movies/zach-seemayer" target="_blank">greatest Western gunslingers of fiction</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;including their choice side arm, their greatest victories, and their biggest weaknesses -&nbsp;let&#39;s see&nbsp;which of these characters would wind up as the last man (or woman) standing in a dust-up.

When the XBox 360 came out, it was a throwing of the gauntlet. While Microsoft had only successfully entered the market one generation ago, it was making a play for the gamers with their more fully integrated XBox LIVE system. With that, they had exclusives, and characters all of their own that would differentiate themselves from the Playstation 3. Meanwhile, Sony was having a bit of marketing trouble, unable to meet consumer demand and in the process of making Blu-Ray a widely adopted format, so Microsoft was ready to pounce. Thus, another console war had begun.&nbsp;This list picks up many of the exclusive XBox 360 characters and lists them out for you to arrange to your heart's content!
