When the makers of the Grand Theft Auto series announced that they were doing  a following up to ‘04 western shooter Red Dead Revolver, we strapped on our riding boots and pumped bullets into our six-shooters.

“The team at San Diego have massively exceeded our expectations with the sheer depth of experiences in Red Dead Redemption,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games.

“The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing. We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be.”
