Grand Theft Wizbit: The Sickle

Released for Playstation 2, Gamecube, and XBox, 2002, Rockstar Games. Players surprisingly took on the role of one of the War Men in this game, wandering about Battal doing missions for Char Reyarteb while harboring their own, secret, grudge against him. Heavy on violence and sexual reference, light on actual gameplay, it was nevertheless hailed by fans as a return to the true nature of the War Men. Judicious bribery of various game review companies by developer Rockstar ensured it met with critical acclaim, and controversial content made it one of the best-selling videogames of all time.
