Red Dead Redemption

#1

Not sure if anyone has played this game yet. It came out in May of this year. I heard good things about it and decided to give it a try as a rental. I have been blown away. It is probably the best Western video game ever made. The graphics, storyline and just how much the game pulls you in...it's just amazing.

I highly recommend it. Here's a review from IGN: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/109/1090380p1.html

My roommate owns and plays this quite frequently. It looks pretty outstanding from the few things I've seen...but I've liked these GTA type games forever, so I may be slightly biased.

It does make me wonder tho....wtf happened to westerns? It seems like it's never really caught on with my generation. Not really many movies, games, or tv shows based on it...and that genre DOMINATED film for a stretch.

I agree, there aren't much these days. In the past (1930's - 1960's) there were a lot. Most modern Western movies I actually like, such as "Tombstone", "Wyatt Earp", "The Quick and the Dead", "3:10 to Yuma", "Seraphim Falls", "Appaloosa" and "Jonah Hex".

Ugh, I hate that I had to take the game back. Renting sucks sometimes. I'm only 33% done with the game.

Also, here's the OST if anyone wants it: http://www.ayhja.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=333&t=33849

i can't bother to play games much anymore, but i would be playing this one, or fallout new vegas if I could.

this one is one of my favorite time periods and it is a great time killer.
