Red Dead Redemption

Anyone else creaming themselves over this game?
I don't get that excited about games anymore, but damn it, this one really does look like the dogs bollocks. Got my copy pre-ordered on Amazon (first time I have ever pre-ordered a game) and I cannot wait for the 21st of May to come. Rockstar rarely fail to deliver, and considering this game has been in development since 2005 at an astronomical cost, you just know it will be grade A stuff. It's on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, so no reason to start a console war in this thread fools.

Check out the trailer -

Oggie, i'm also very excited about this. me and a guy at work have been talking about it for a good few weeks now man. Just not totally sold on whether it can get me away from Modern Warfare 2. Spent a while on GTA 4 then reverted back to COD again.

The game arrived in the post yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to sit down and play it properly until now.
Absolutely incredible game, unbelievable scope. Feels like an endless map to explore, tons of hidden missions, side missions, games, mad characters etc... Great stuff! Rockstar have another jewel in their crown with this beauty.
I think anybody that has an interest in actions games should own this, it has exceeded my (very high) expectations already. Game of the year for sure!

son just dragged me around all the game stores looking for this.... everywhere had sold out apart from HMV who had a limited edition version left.

Please tell me you bought it for the poor fella'...
I've got the limited edition. Got some nice freebies (as long as you can connect to Xbox Live) - Got a link/passcode to download the brilliant soundtrack in digital form, got to start the game with a fast as fook horse, golden guns that reward you more when you kill someone and a guide to unlocking a special outfit that does something awesome that I'm not sure of yet...

Absolutely cracking game, seriously. The size of it is just unreal! It's some experience.
And I never realised there were so many Irish/Irish descendants in the Wild West! I feel right at home.

And another thing, today is the hottest day of the year so far here in Ireland... 25C and 95% humidity.
Why does God mock me?

just been playing this an hour or so

got it from Blockbuster - whats the limited edition ?? Mine is just normal one - am i missing out on something

Seems a bit slow at moment so hoping it picks up - riding here and there. This Bonnie bird is also starting to irritate the fuck out of me and may get a bullet.

Loved the first one but have bad feeling am going to dislike this one as its 'too big' with free roaming and side games etc.. (never liked the last two GTA games due to that)
