Red Dead Redemption: Finally, a Real American Western

I’ve been spending a lot of time, recently, playing through Rockstar’s new game Red Dead Redemption.  I didn’t mean to.  I bought it on a whim, always having had an affinity towards American History and that particular time period, but didn’t really think I’d ever get into it until I had a week or so to myself.

But, on a random night with really nothing else of interest, I popped the disc in, and have dedicated my mental capacities to playing the game, or thinking about playing the game for the past 2 weeks.  It’s dug its spurs deep into me, and I don’t see the game pulling back the reins any time soon.
