TVG writes: "Once again, Rockstar appears to have done a sterling job of designing maps that are specifically tuned to Red Dead Redemption's particular brand of third-person shooting. In the more condensed maps, plenty of elevated areas and vantage points make for some frantic action, although these vantage points are rarely without their blind spots that quickly snuff-out campers. Where maps are vaster, horseback combat comes into play and provides a refreshing change of pace in the action, and then there's the veritable oddball of 'Rio Bravo' that just works despite its unconventional design. You really do have to look towards the likes of Epic to find another developer that offers so much variation and balancing in its maps, at least as far as third-person shooters are concerned. To put 'Legends and Killers' simply though, horseback Tomahawk fights = hours of Last of the Mohicans-esque fun".
Todays deal on Xbox Live is geared towards owners of Red Dead Redemption. Sure, the game may be on sale for $29.99 (from $39.99) but you can pick up the Game of the Year Edition in stores for around that price so there’s no reason to buy the stand alone game. Instead, take a look at the DLC that is on sale.
I'd buy it. But then I realize that it's been on sale for practically every other week since GTAV was announced.
Following the revelation of the official box art design for the forthcoming Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Edition last week, Electronic Theatre has endeavoured to secure further details of the retail release. Today, it has been confirmed that the latest version of the critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption will launch at a budget price point in the UK.
I sold my copy without even getting 1/4 of the way, so I'm gonna pick this up for sure with all the included DLC :D
Might aswell wait for ALL big games to re-release their goty/ultimate/complete editions next year for a cheaper price. I can bet it will happen to Battlefield 3, Arkham City, LANoire, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and a WHOLE bunch more.

Extending the length of your assets makes them more profitable; games like Borderlands and Modern Warfare 2 can have long, extended lives with the proper content. However, the first of Red Dead Redemption's DLC packs will likely leave you feeling limp".
I'm so getting this and all dlc released for this game. I'll be pissed if they do a game of the year edition.
