Beat 'em up Popular this week Max Payne

Beat 'em up games (also known as brawlers) are part of a very old video game genre originating from arcade. Typical beat’em up’s feature hand-to-hand combat between the hero (player’s character) and a hugely disproportionate number of various enemies. Games of this genre typically do take place in urban settings and feature crime-fighting plots, though some games may also employ fantasy or sci-fi themes. Traditional beat 'em ups take place in 2D levels, scrolling from right to left. Beat’em up games are noted for their simplistic design and intuitive gameplay. Another hallmarks of the genre are cooperative mode and multiple player characters. All time beat’em up classics include such gems as Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Double Dragon. The most recent beat’em up games are Guacamelee!, Shank (both mixed with platformers), Devil May Cry, and God of War (both mixed with 3D hack and slash). On Games Republic you’ll find only the best beat’em up games! Become a vigilante and start fighting crime on the streets.
This week’s top video games
Max Payne is a video game franchise created by Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Studios. It is named after the game’s protagonist, Max Payne, a detective who became a vigilante after the murder of his entire family. The series' first (2001) and second (2003) installments were written by Sam Lake and Max Payne 3 (2012) by Dan Houser. There was also a movie adaptation, loosely based on the original game, starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. The movie came out in 2008. The Max Payne franchise is notable for its introduction and use of “bullet time” in many of its action sequences. All three games were very positively received by critics and gamers alike. The series has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and is to this day considered by many players as one of the most influential in TPP action games. Max Payne, one of the best TPS games of all time, is available at Games Republic. Get your own copy now and use the legendary bullet time!
Harry Potter is definitely one of the biggest brands in the entertainment industry. The franchise encompasses books, movies, toys, and even video games. There are over a dozen Harry Potter video games (eight titles corresponding with books and movies as well as several spin-offs). The first installment, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was actually one of the most successful and best-selling PlayStation games of all time. The story and design of the Harry Potter video games follow the corresponding film's characterisation and plot (developers worked in cooperation with Warner Bros.). The last game in the series (Deathly Hallows) was even split into two halves, just like the last Harry Potter movie. It’s worth noting that some of the LEGO Games do feature Harry Potter universe, although it’s a completely separate franchise. Harry Potter games are a perfect gift for every fan of the franchise. If you grew up with the young sorcerer, they may prove a real treat. Experience the magic of Hogwarts once more, with Games Republic!
