Sandbox games are popular these days to the degree that the style is now becoming an industry norm. Whether it's Grand Theft Auto V or the recently released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, having an open world to explore is becoming more traditional with every new release. But there is one sandbox game that hasn't been discussed in a long time and that game is Red Dead Redemption. The Western game not only had beautiful environments, but was filled with tremendous gameplay elements. The game also included one of the most well crafted narratives the industry had seen at the time. Looking back, Red Dead Redemption was lightning in a bottle and had a uniqueness about it that still stands even five years after its launch.

At the end of Red Dead Redemption protagonist John Marston dies. It was a controversial decision for the studio. Cantamessa "desperately" wanted it to happen, and Sam Houser (Rockstar Games Co-Founder) wanted it to happen as well, but there were complications due to gameplay reas

Strong male leads haven’t always been too prevalent in Rockstar's games. John Marston, on the other hand, was an exception. While his back story was a bit generic, he had a swagger about him that added to his personality. But having a strong protagonist was only one aspect that made the game's narrative so spectacular. In short, Red Dead Redemption's premise revolved around John Marston taking down members of his former gang to save his wife and son. Without giving too much away, the narrative was a well crafted, filled with a likeable cast of characters and scenes that will have anyone sitting at the edge of their seat, but the ending is what made it and set the bar for emotional storytelling. It's safe to say that Red Dead Redemption went out with a bang (har har).

Western games are few and far between in the the realm of video games, but Rockstar managed to captured every little detail to give the game that classic old west aesthetic. From the large desolate landscapes filled with cacti to the small towns that included saloons, hotels and churches, Red Dead Redemption had a way of honing in every aspect of the early 1900s. Even the designs of the technology was spot on. Seeing the use of automobiles, machine guns and modern trains seemed to heightened every possible feature the game had to offer. It's why the game still holds up and looks beautiful to this day.

Not in a bad way though. Take the gameplay and strategy of Grand Theft Auto and add the expansive land of the old west and you've got yourself Red Dead Redemption. In this game you play the role of John Marston, a former outlaw hunting down his old gang in order to be granted amnesty. Because it's set an entirely different century from Grand Theft Auto, this game was modified to compensate for the lack of modern technology. Law enforcement has no way of pursuing you unless a crime was witnessed by someone. The scenery and sound are all deemed high quality and a natural fit to the gameplay. There's even a zombie expansion, which of course isn't natural, but still flows with this game. Red Dead Redemption has been given near perfect scores and sold over 13 million copies worldwide. It also won several Game of the Year awards from numerous publications.

Looks could kill: The High Roller Double-Action Revolver features a polished steel body with unique period-inspired, beautifully detailed engraving work. The deadly, quick draw revolver comes complete with unique playing card and skull elements carved into the grip. Its superior, quick rate of fire over all other revolvers makes it a great choice for mounted combat.

Finally, last but certainly not least is the Undead Nightmare Pack heading to PSN and Xbox Live stores on an undisclosed date and breathing new life into the ghost times and cemeteries in Red Dead Redemption . Playing as one of the new 8 zombie characters in multi-player is a great and funny way to enhance your game-play, but that's not all you can do with the Undead Nightmare Pack . New dynamic events will be added to the game that will likely include a brush with some of the nastiest creatures/humans you've seen in the game thus far. To top it all off get your game on in new adventure content, challenges, and quests. The price point of this pack has been confirmed at $9.99/800 MS Points, so if this is really what you want out of your Red Dead Redemption game you might want to be picky about picking up the other packs and keep a ten spot aside for this
