First Game Piece!

So, I finally have something to talk about games related!

I don't know about everyone else, but do you all remember Red Dead Revolver? I do, and it was awesomness in a can. Now there's a sequel:

Red Dead Redemption

Apparently it's not a direct sequel, but it will be an open world third person adventure shooter much like GTA that will span several different areas of the Old West at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Which means the world of the Cowboy is ending.

You play a charatcer called John Marston, an ex-outlaw who wants to settle down with his family (I think he has a family anyway). However that of course is better suited to The Sims, so instead we end up spanning three diferent areas, blasting our way through towns and people with wild abandon.

The start fot he game is in an area much like the previous game, an area where there is still a Marshall and people can walk about setroying towns in the name of an eyepatch wearing boss, whose pistols are likely golden.

The second is an area undergoing change, and the third a more modern Industrial area that America became at the end of the Cowboy-era.

Of course thier is some additional stuff like side missions and hunting and horse riding. However it all pales in comparison to the sheer size of the game, which is possibly one of the bigges they've done. Also, some fo the odl mechanics will come back, I don't remember it's name, but the old standoff shootouts are back, which were hilariously fun in the presvious game.

I'm excited, and I hope your all excited, so in the meantime whilst I learn more, crack open Red Dead Revolver or walk around with bandy legs, get in some practice!
