Red Dead Redemption - Gentlemen and Vegabonds

Rockstar's new sandbox western looks like a pretty ambitious title.  With a protagonist that looks like Clint Eastwood's twin brother (read: 20 years ago, before he turned into a mummy) China-men, and Snake Oil salesman, the wild west recreation looks as real as they come. 

The  newest trailer doesn't feature many gameplay elements, but it does showcase the impressive character models and voice acting.  My favorite part is the stereotypical China-men playing poker.  Judging by the video, players will be able to engage in a litany of Western era activities such as visiting brothels, shootouts at dawn, stage coach robbery, grave robbing, and much much more.  I personally can't wait to shoot cowboys in the face with my Colt Python, then ask them if they "feel lucky" as they lay in a pile of excrement and blood.

Saddle up partner, it's going to be a long ride.
