Red Dead Redemption

[Nique]

Looks like the game overthinker got his new year wish... about a year late.

But it all looks sort of... I guess 'meh' is the right meme... like, "GTA but this time you're robbing trains!" etc. Sandbox style gaming = good, yes, but this looks about as compelling as what is almost certainly to become known as the film DC will always regret, 'Jonah Hex'. Which appears to be a really interesting concept but will most likely make poor (ab)use of western-film cliches rather than paying homage to them.

But it sounds like you guys are having fun with it. Why AREN'T there more western themed games?
