Rockstar continues to prove their dominance. I have a love/hate relationship with westerns. I hate the movies but love the games. Gun was awesome and Red Dead Revolver was amazing. Read more

Sometimes life on the range just gets dull. Hours of herding cattle and shooting bandits certainly have their merits, but sometimes a cowpoke just needs a little spice. Read more

Even if you're no fan of Westerns, or even sandbox games, Red Dead Redemption certainly merits a long, hard look. If you're still wondering if you're going to rent or buy, consider this: I've logged maybe about 30 hours... Read more

One of the newest trends sweeping across various entertainment mediums is to take a title that has nothing to do with horror and add zombies to it. Read more
- Seeing your favorite characters react to the zombie apocalypse is pretty interesting.

While it clearly retains many of Red Dead Redemption's best qualities as far as presentation is concerned, Undead Nightmare isn't a more-of-the-same add-on. Read more
- Lengthy single-player story with superb ending, New cooperative multiplayer mode is great fun, Good number of optional activities, Awesome new mythical mounts to ride, New soundtrack evokes both the original game and zombi...
- Combat is repetitive and mostly easy.

So yes, the action rocks bells. But I still can't help but feel that for me, it's the less familiar elements that help to make Red Dead Redemption the best game of 2010 thus far. Read more
- Absolutely nails the Western atmosphere, Incredibly pretty, A huge amount to see and do
- The story takes a little while to get going

The conclusion is simple: Red Dead Redemption has kept all the good aspects of GTA IV, added with a fantastically deep and atmospheric Wild West setting, an epic and credible story, and finished with a shitload of extra Read more
- Beautiful setting and fascinating story with credible characters, Tons of extra missions, Horses are life-like and duels are cool, Sounds, soundtrack(!) and graphics to be very, very happy with
- Restarting missions when bumping into someone, Lead character sometimes runs awkward
