Howdy Partner ... A Red Dead Salute!

In 2007 my faith was once again restored in one of my most favorite sub genre of shooters: The Western! The game that did it? Call of Juarez. An epic tale of revenge, blood, sex and even a little bow and arrow action. The game simply failed to garner the respect it much deserved by the mainstream public. However, a small group of us still remained optimistic that Call of Juarez would set a blaze a new era in "the western video game." Well, it kind of did I guess. Enter: Red Dead Redemption; a follow up to Rockstar's surprisingly good 3rd person action title: Red Dead Revolver. It seems as though the band wagon, though starting slow, has finally taken off!

As a kid growing up I always remember watching the Clint Eastwood westerns with my dad (Hang 'em High being my all time favorite). I also always remember watching westerns whenever they were on with my good friend Kyle (SS to you all on Warp) and his old man...those were the days! That is why when I saw this trailer I just had to re-post it here on Warp 9. If your in to western themed games then you owe it to yourself to check this trailer out for Red Dead Redemption. My opinion? This is gonna be one hell of a fun ride.
