We had a great time at the PAX east event and part of the reason for that is Rockstar Games and Red Dead Redemption. We got the chance to play the game and do one mission. The game looks fantastic and the game play is intense, but the most exciting part of the game is that the map is huge. According to a close source the map is like 2 times bigger than the map of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which was huge when it came out.

A good feature that was nice and cool to test out was riding on the horse. John Marston get’s a horse that pretty much can be called at any time which is a nice feature. Your press a button, wait a few seconds and the horse comes to you. This horse is also intelligent enough to not go to certain areas such as cliffs and down certain mountains.
We played the XBOX 360 version of the game so were not sure how the game will be for the PS3, but most likely the game will be great on both consoles. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos while inside the Rockstar Booth, but we can promise you that it will be worthwhile purchase. At the end of the demo the Rockstar Games people gave us a really nice t shirt and some nice bumper stickers some of which we will be giving away to people that comment and would like one sent to their house. More details on that below.
If you would like to receive some bumper stickers of Red Dead Redemption leave us a comment on this post telling us that you are interested in one, but do it quick as there are only 5 bumper stickers and they will go quick. Below is a picture of what we have and we will send them to you free of charge.
