games™ Review

games™ has given Red Dead Redemption a 9/10 rating in their review of Rockstar's fastly approaching Western:

"Bringing whole new meaning to "open" part of "open world", Redemption's is a gameworld as expansive and inviting as any we've explored, comprising the last territories in the outpost of the American frontier to be mapped, conquered, settled and tamed. Shantytowns sit among vast expanses of wilderness, rural homesteads can be found hidden in sweeping grasslands, and red sandstone monuments protrude from rough expanses of desert all situated beneath a vast sky of intense neon blue in between. You know San Diego has hit the nail on the head when you perch reformed bandit John Marston atop a mountain pass and watch as the slowly setting sun paints the sky gold and red, casting long, drawn shadows across the gameworld in its descent. Has Redemption captured the silent grandeur of the Old West? Undoubtedly so."
