Can you smell it in the air? This year's "Madden" is almost here, its annual mid-August launch signaling the coming wave of blockbuster video games about to arrive on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Huge new entries from already massively popular franchises are the standouts this year, and "Red Dead Redemption 2" (seen above) is the heaviest heavy of them all. The long-awaited sequel to Rockstar Games' brilliant original "Red Dead Redemption" is a kind of "Grand Theft Auto" meets "The Magnificent Seven" - a fitting game from the folks behind the "Grand Theft Auto" series.
But this fall's not all cowboys and train robberies.
