Rockstar is arguably the defining studio of the last 20+ years of gaming. During that time, Rockstar essentially reshaped our collective idea of what a game could be by introducing millions to phrases like “open-world” and “sandbox” while continuously pushing the envelope in terms of mature content. Even after other developers started to make more “Rockstar-like” games, Rockstar found ways to raise the bar and show why they are one of the great blockbuster developers in gaming history.
While Rockstar’s library is defined by those open-world masterpieces, the studio’s catalog is much deeper and more interesting than it always gets credit for. Dig a little deeper into Rockstar’s history, and you’ll find a variety of games that have largely been forgotten. Though some deserve to be lost to time, others are begging to be rediscovered (or discovered) as they are absolutely worthy of that logo that we...

Renowned American stunt performer Robbie Knievel has died at 60 after a life lived following the daredevil tracks of his late father Evel Knievel, his older brother Kelly confirmed.
Robbie had been grappling with advanced pancreatic cancer and had known about his declining health for the past six months.
Robbie’s critically acclaimed, three-decade-long career saw him perform over 350 seemingly superhuman jumps across various manmade structures, break 20 world records and soar past the Las Vegas Caesars Palace fountains in 1989, a feat that his father had failed 22 years earlier.

Despite constant warnings from Evel to never follow in his footsteps, and the various surgeries and traumatic injuries suffered by his father that he witnessed, Robbie chose not to listen.
Among four siblings, Robbie said that he was disciplined most because his rebellious nature saw him always emulating and challenging his father.

Robbie Knievel, the second-generation motorcyclist and daredevil who jumped the fountains of Caesars Palace and the Grand Canyon in the high-flying bootstraps of his father, Evel Knievel, has died. He was 60.
Knievel died Friday in Reno, Nevada, after a battle with pancreatic cancer, his brother, Kelly Knievel, told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Daredevils don’t lead an easy life,” he said. “Every time they finish a jump, they have to come up with another one. They are entertainers, after all.”
Twenty-two years after his father crashed spectacularly in a stunt at the newly opened Caesars Palace on New Year’s Eve, Knievel successfully cleared the hotel fountains in Las Vegas in April 1989 and exclaimed, “That was for you, Dad.”
In 1999, he and his motorcycle soared a personal record of 228 feet over the Grand Canyon, but he broke his leg on the landing. His father had tried to make it over the...
